The 9th street elevator is at the corner of Congress St and Paterson Plank Rd. When you get to the bottom of the elevator, you're in Hoboken. As far as quote "keep your wits," I wouldn't want anyone to get trampled by the hordes of white collar commuters walking to their luxury condos that they've purchased for upwards of $750K. Getting tired of people who do not live in this neighborhood cautioning against bogeymen. That was so 10 years ago...

The light rail elevators, the buses into Hoboken for the Hoboken Path, proximity to the Lincoln Tunnel also expedite the commute. Many of the rentals in the Heights are much larger, too, which allows for people to do comfortable shares. This brings the cost down per renter. Also, new restaurants, bars, art galleries, farmers markets are in the area now. Many people are renting in the Heights and taking Uber downtown or to Hoboken for nightlife as well.

Not sure why you have the need to be insulting rather than just partake in the discussion, but I'm sure that there is a therapist out there who can help you with that. The fact is that the Heights and Journal Square area have had FAR less water main breaks than downtown. I am well aware of PILOT programs and how they operate. My point is that part of any abatement should include some agreement that the developer be responsible for contributing to our infrastructure. Yes, the sewers are crumbling downtown; however, sewers were replaced in Lafayette section in recent years. While I'm sure that being from downtown and having to pay more taxes than anyone else and dealing with flooding and water main breaks is upsetting, it doesn't help to lash out at other people. As for your population comment, there weren't 300,000 people living in Jersey City taking showers. We can all check the census on wikipaedia and find facts, but if you aren't astute enough to assumes variables (how many of those were children how many families had cars, etc), that data is apples and oranges.

This isn't "normal." It is the result of neglect for downtown infrastructure. Too many tax abatements and not enough upkeep. Downtown was never equipped to handle the amount of residents it has now. Infrastructure was never required of the developers. If you look at other areas of Jersey City (Journal Square not often and Heights even less), you don't see this.

Is your condo a loft? If so, the issue may just come with the territory. As I understand it, lofts are very difficult to heat.

First, I find it interesting that you accuse me of not being educated when YOU are the one who decided what I was referring to with regard to what is and isn't constitutional. Then you went on a long rant. You say that Trump has "proposed solutions"...why not tell us how what he has proposed will come into effect AND be effective? According to you, Trump has solutions that I "may not want to hear." Yes, you are right. His solutions are necessary for him to stop tweeting in the middle of the night. They include limiting free speech, firing the press when he disagrees with their reporting, "firing generals" who disagree with him, ridiculing our military, blatantly lying about saying things that are documented and verifiable. If this is YOUR idea of who should run our country, go vote for him. What can I say? Jump back into that basket and have a good day.

I'm not rationalizing anything. What solutions does Trump bring up? I would love to hear them. I don't mean blanket promises that are unconstitutional. I mean REAL solutions.
If he is elected, it's not because "people are fed up...," it's because some people refuse to educate themselves on what IS constitutional, executable and reality based. We can all run around like 5th graders promising a longer lunch period if we are elected class president...but adults know better, right? Or do they? Yvonne wrote: You and others on this blog rationalize behavior. This country cannot fix problems because you are afraid rights will be harm. Whether it is people dying over drugs or bombs, Americans are dying due to our porous borders and liberal policy on immigration. I have no respect for Trump but he does bring up solutions to problems. If he is elected it is because people are fed up this the liberal agenda in this country.[/quote]

When I see things like, "maybe Trump is right," it sickens me. Right about what? That we can build walls to fix our problems?? Maybe the United States can become one huge labyrinth with signs saying who can go into which area.
We live in a world of social media and constant communication...it changes the approach from physical barriers to something far more sophisticated. When someone shows you their character as he has, believe what you see. I see someone who is wholly interested in self promotion, blatantly ignorant of how this country operates and intellectually incurious. Am I missing something?

I love how people pretend to be tolerant and live-and-let-live UNTIL they don't like something...and then THEY invest a lot of time trying to shut down conversations. It's ridiculous. If you TRULY are tolerant, you just skip the thread.
Isn't it kind of obvious that the more you try to defend shutting down someone else's thoughts, the LESS tolerant you are? I truly cannot think of ONE topic that would provoke me to consider asking someone (or worse, "telling" them) to go elsewhere to have a discussion.

Re: 1br in heights, resale issues?

Heights is huge so thanks for giving streets. I doubt you have to worry about resale these days if the property is nice. East side of Heights has hardly any families anymore.
If you are thinking of Thorne/Summit, you can walk down to Kennedy Blvd and take jitney and/or bus into Manhattan. If you work downtown Manhattan, jitney/bus to Journal Square. A lot of people think that living close to Path is important. The city won't stop allowing for new residential WITHOUT addressing commuting issues. If I were you, I'd see about getting a one bedroom a bit closer to east side of Heights. It may cost more but it has light rail access (plus elevator will bring you into Hoboken), buses to Lincoln Tunnel, buses to Hoboken path, etc. I grew up in this city and I feel that too much emphasis is put on being close to Path station. To me, it has become a sardine can that is only going to get more packed as time goes by. It is a shame because it used to be a great option before the city got so overcrowded. It's still a great thing, but it is being overly relied upon and has become a bit of a nightmare to deal with

I hope that when this shakes out, it will not reveal that half of our population finds him appealing. I'm hoping for it to be a sliver and that the rest of the people realized who he is and moved on. I think it is a mix of desperation and willful ignorance as well as lack of education.

The only thing that I find more depressing than Donald Trump is that there are enough people in the United States who actually take him seriously. Is it the lead in the water or what?? I can understand if one is unhappy with the current landscape of the political world, but this guy is so APPARENTLY of low intellect and character that he just can't be part of any answer to any of our issues.

I just wanted to mention (in case you don't already know this) that granite, as well as other "rock" countertops, contain some level of radiation. It's worth doing a little research to see if there are ways of distinguishing if certain pieces have more/less. I would hate to hear that you got the kitchen of your dreams and it made you sick (e.g. the wood floors from China that was sold at Lumber Liquidators)!!
Best of luck.

I have granite at home, but I once used some kind of laminate (wilsonart, perhaps) and realtors kept complimenting the "granite" countertops to buyers they brought by.
There are so many affordable options that truly mimic the higher-end materials that I think it's worth looking into them first. This way, you won't feel tied to something in case you get tired of it OR it becomes dated. Just a thought.

Well, they better think of something quickly because all of the houses which are valued for their proximity to PATH are going to lose some value when the PATH is no longer useful.

I agree. It has transformed amazingly over the past few years. I guess it was bound to happen once people caught on how easy it is to get to midtown from there. The skyline views are excellent if you live on an upper floor. What also helps a lot is all of the businesses that are now around the lite rail tracks in Hoboken. I guess it doesn't hurt that the mayor lives around there now, too, which suggests more of a police presence.

It's one thing when it's just you and your husband but the thought of running into someone unstable with a baby is too scary! I would see if you could get police to pick him up and get him evaluated. I would hate to think of you being alone with the baby and running into this guy. Don't take chances. You never know when someone will snap.
