Option A:
Combine meticulous compliance of historical guidelines along with the deployment of targeted envelopes of cash to ensure a speedy process. Option B: Place your iron fence directly behind the wooden fence. Then, over the course of several weeks, slowly remove sections of the wooden fence until only the iron fence remains. If someone ever asks about what happened to the old fence, say you don't know what they're talking about.

Back in the '90s in Hoboken, my friend had his flowering plants ripped out of their planters. He replanted with new ones, and sunk several razor blades into the dirt surrounding each one. A few days later, he found one plant partially dislodged, and a trail of blood drops down the sidewalk. No further vandalizing of his plants ever occurred.

How out of whack is it, minus the (obvious) fairness issue? Like, if Downtown were an actual separate city on its own, would the property taxes be too low to sustain public services for itself?

Yeah.... those two "reviews" are painful to look at; they remind me of the time my well-meaning mother wrote a raving review of my band's EP, of which I couldn't delete fast enough. I'm certain that the owner wouldn't be so directly obtuse; it's more likely an anxious relative/friend.
Anyway, back to reality. I had a positive experience there yesterday, which will bring me back again. I opted for a double cheeseburger with Gruyere, and a plain order of fries. The burger was still pinkish in the middle (yay!) and was well-seasoned. I chose Gruyere in the off-chance that the patty was under-seasoned (Gruyere having a slightly saltier taste), and was pleased with how everything worked together. The Martin's roll held up to the burger's juices very effectively, and I like potato rolls, so bonus points there. The fries were cooked to order, and they asked if I wanted them salted or not, which was much appreciated. They're not hand-cut, but are of a quality vendor, thicker than a julienne/shoestring... somewhere between a baton and batonnet. They were crispy and well-cooked. The staff was eager and hard-working. I only waited a few minutes for the food. Overall, is it the greatest burger around? No. Is it a very good burger? Yes. Is it better than Five Guys? Yes. Will I be back? Sure, absolutely. They're using quality products, they're trying hard, and I like hamburgers.

They were in the midst of a friends-and-family event today as I walked by; I had the opportunity to glance at the special menu they had prepared for the occasion. Assuming even half of it is what will be on the normal menu, it should be a good place. One other good omen: there was a Pat LaFrieda meat truck parked out front beforehand. Edit: Here's the menu from their skeletal website: http://www.burgereatery.com/menu/

All I'm hoping for is a well-seasoned, decently-sized burger made from fresh ground meat, served on a quality bun. It doesn't have to be a 12-oz. bar burger that's 2 inches thick, or offered with lots of zany toppings.
If I see prefab frozen patties separated by paper, I'll be disappointed. Same goes with the fries; it's probably too much to ask for fresh hand-cut with their limited-sized location, but if they can get a supplier with a flash-frozen version, that'd be swell.

That's a good point, and I see no reason why a restaurant server couldn't be offered something similar. For instance, many sales jobs offer base salary + commission. Any restaurant with a POS and CC terminal can track each server's nightly sales (it's how a server calculates what they tip out to the food runners, bus-ers and bar staff). If a server still has a "the more I sell, the more I can make" scenario, that should off-set the worries of the "but how can I stiff them for bad service?" crowd.

I also remember hearing that Hoboken's bikesharing system (which will not use docks; unsure how they'll be doing that, but whatever) will have a station of bikes in that same vicinity. This will have the added benefit of letting people from one system rent easily from the other on a whim without worrying about venturing too far from their home system.

If anything, using CitiBike was to Jersey City's advantage; the maintenance and support network for the docks and bikes is already completely built up thanks to NYC's program. Jersey City got the newest bikes and the newest docks (which were based on the trial and error of the past 2 years of NYC's program).
Down the line, more station locations will add to the convenience factor and help relieve dock/bike congestion points through redundancy (for instance, where I work there are 5 different docking stations within a one block radius).

More docks than necessary is a good thing, as nothing stinks more than riding around from station to station in search of an open dock. Ideally there should be twice as many docks as bikes.

I'm still not clear on how Prato having a backyard seating area will bring the neighborhood to its knees, while Dames Espresso's existing backyard space does not. Ditto to how said backyard space will negatively impact a neighborhood with noise, while the tire shop a half block away on Erie does not.

That is always a delicate dance during commuting hours, and CitiBike would be wise to deploy re-balancing crews during rollout like they use in Manhattan. Using the app will help somewhat to foresee the status of available docks. I'm thrilled that they added a docking station at Hamilton Park; this will shorten my commute by 8-10 minutes each way.
