What a troll.
And what an awful site this has turned into if the admin can't control this. No wonder the posts continue to decrease.

1. I don't know about NY, but in NJ a veto override requires a 2/3rds vote in the Assembly and the Legislature, and Republican pols refuse to break with Christie no matter what their personal position is. Christie's never lost a veto override vote despite dozens of tries, not even when the original legislation passed almost unanimously. Zero chance he'd lost this one. 2. I doubt it, almost all mass transit services in the rest of the country shut down during overnight hours. If the Metro in DC, the T in Boston, and the BART in SF don't violate clean air acts, then I don't see why PATH would.

Amtrak's plan still doesn't address why NY should agree to pay a dime. What's Cuomo's motivation here? That several years down the line, some NYC based corporations *may* lose some employees who can't work from home, move, or find different commuting options? Doesn't seem like a great argument for spending billions.
That said, I totally agree that NY paying their share is a fair solution. But given the economic realities of the situation, I'm just not sure that this scenario is very likely.

Fair enough, that does give at least SOME hope of it working out. But keep in mind that's Lesniak's interpretation of the Circuit Court's ruling. Even if Christie decides not to veto a renewed effort in the State Legislature, many of the experts are saying it still may not be enough: http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/ ... rts_say.html#incart_river Which gets back to my original point-- who's going to put up the money to open a sports book when there's still a significant risk of federal felony charges?

What a load of hot air. This isn't the Colorado/Washington pot vote. Congress specifically passed PASPA to ban situations like this. It's held up to challenges before, and nothing has changed since the Supreme Court refused to hear arguments back in January.
Christie can order betting to be allowed all he wants-- it still costs millions to set up a sports book, which would be shut down immediately by federal agents. And with the power and money of all the organized sports leagues against NJ, you can bet the Justice Department would jump all over it. If Lesniak and Christie want sports gambling so bad, they need to get the votes in congress. Otherwise this is all a colossal waste of time and money.

Yeah, your best bet is Mulligan's. Some of the places mentioned above will put on the matches, but none of them have a dedicated crowd. Or at least not that I've found. Mulligan's has such a great atmosphere that it's always worth the slightly longer trip to Hoboken.

Yeah, he said it's "convenient." What exactly is "convenient" about hopping a fence?? And how many times have you seen people hopping that fence? There are marked crosswalks at Marin and Washington. Everyone I've seen crossing in the middle on Gangemi does it at Mall Drive East or West, and drivers rarely yield as they're required to.
You've already conceded that those are unmarked intersections. Arguing that the problem is caused by people who are too lazy to walk 50 feet and instead hop a fence is nonsensical. Quote:

Coleen is correct. The area Hero is talking about IS an intersection. It's a "T" intersection at Mall Drive and Thomas Gangemi Dr. It's unmarked but still covered by the statute.
?The driver of a vehicle? shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection? And yes, there are at least 3 crosswalks at every "T" intersection, even if two of them are unmarked, as in this case. It's almost impossible to jaywalk next to Wells Fargo-- there's a fence in the middle of the islands on both sides.

Like every longtime NJ resident knows, this is all about lining politicians' pockets. The idea that auto dealers (??!!) protect consumers is purely laughable. They simply beat Tesla at the cash game:
http://www.businessinsider.com/how-te ... utgunned-in-jersey-2014-3 That's right, almost $700k in donations compared to $0 from Tesla. And it's not just Christie-- Sweeney and all the rest received donations as well. But this garbage about the "free market" is just a story they sell you when it's convenient for them. Money talks.

Re: Morning commute

Like others have said, it's a rough commute. I've done the 1&9 to 3 to 17 Route, and you have to leave yourself at least an hour in the morning to allow for normal traffic, although on good days you can make it in 45-50 mins. Any accidents (probably an average of 1 per week) will make the trip take about 1:15. Taking the Turnpike to GSP to 17 will be longer, have more traffic, and cost $11 round trip in tolls. And yes, the evening commute back is a nightmare between 5 and 6:30
If I were you, I wouldn't take the job without knowing what the impact of the Pulaski closing will have on the area. NJ DOT apparently thinks people will find "alternate" ways of commuting, but I doubt it. You may accept the job now, then find out in a couple months that you're spending half your day in your car.

It's totally fine. There are people walking up and down Columbus at all hours of the night, and it's well lit.
However, if you like it quiet, that may be a different story. Last year that block seemed to enjoy partying outside a lot.

Yup, there are definitely apartments in DTJC that are in that price range. I looked at a few of them last year. Baxtyre-- downtown is probably going to give you the best combination of safety and convenient location. The Heights is a nice alternative, but not as convenient. My suggestion is to walk around the neighborhood and look for signs, since most ads on craigslist or the like are from brokers charging high fees. Larger apartment buildings with management in place may be out of your range, but smaller places (say 2 or 3 units where the landlord lives on premises) are a real possibility.

I did, in fact, read the first post. You seem to be confusing possible lease language with the Anti-Eviction Act. There are very few exceptions that judges will respect in these cases, regardless of what's specified on the lease. And as brewster correctly pointed out, one of the co-leaseholders leaving is not one of them.

Jeez, is it too much to ask that you READ the other comments before posting this nonsense?
No, in this case, both you and user1111 are 100% wrong. As the OP stated, she lives in a 4 unit building and the landlord does not reside on premises. As such, at the end of the lease, the landlord's ONLY options are 1) Offer a new lease, 2) Continue allowing her to rent month-to-month under the terms of the first lease, or 3) Pursue eviction through the courts. That's it. Quote:

That's only the case if it's a 2 or 3 unit building and the owner lives in one of the units. Since the OP stated that they read the Tenants? Rights document and couldn?t find any justification for eviction, my assumption is that it?s not the case here. But I could be wrong.?teacherinjc, is that actually your situation? Because if the landlord is an owner/occupier, you might as well pack your things. That exception is pretty cut and dried.

CdeCoincy is right-- the Division of Tenant Landlord Relations is your best resource here. But just to clear a few things up. You cannot be evicted under the grounds you've established in your first post. Even at the end of your lease, the landlord is required by law to offer you a new lease, unless they have good cause not to do so. Generally, "good cause" means not abiding by the terms of your existing lease. So noise complaints, failing to maintain the premises, or failing to pay rent in full and on time would all be covered there. That being said, if I was in your shoes I'd leave. Landlord/Tenant squabbles are often more trouble than they're worth.

The MTA has improved reliability a lot in the last 5-10 years. Sadly, Path has lagged behind, mainly because of its signal system that dates back to the 60s. And the much needed upgrades were pushed back even further due to Sandy, so my guess is this will only get worse in the near future. Here?s an article on the original upgrade plans, SIX years ago: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/18/nyregion/18path.html?_r=0

Totally agree with several people on here. Street parking is a privilege, not a right.
Now the tax abatement issue, however, has a bit more weight to it. The price per square foot that these developers are looking for is literally double the average for DTJC. Anyone looking to charge that much doesn?t deserve any kind of break. Chances are they know the initial asking price is too high, and they?re trying to reduce the loss caused by low occupancy in the first few years.

I run in LSP all the time, but I won't give you any flack. There's a path RIGHT next to Freedom Way, no reason at all for runners to use the bike area of the street on a normal day.
The only time I can see a runner venturing into the street is if it's extremely crowded on the path, like when they have walking events or something similar. By the same token, I see a lot of bikes using the path (and not the street) on the weekends, which equally doesn't make sense. Especially when the path narrows by the marshland.

What kind of results have people had with calling the non-emergency number for daytime noise complaints? Has anyone actually experienced a situation where the cops responded and told the neighbor to keep it down?

Moving violations aren't crimes, not even DUI. They're civil offenses. They wouldn't result in criminal charges. However, any time they take a person into custody, the police can call it an arrest, regardless of the charge.

Signage and outreach are nice, but nothing will change these people's behaviors unless the enforcement comes along with it. I've seen you "guarantee" that it will, but let's be honest, that's hollow unless you're actually in the Fulop administration. I have no reason to doubt you've been TOLD there will be more enforcement (or any at all, really). But new administrations are really good at making promises to everybody who comes to them with problems.
But follwing through? We'll see. Quote:
