I will chime in with my two cents of praise...

I had to go to the JC Med ER a few weeks ago due to a scratched cornea (Long story, but my eyes became ultra sensitive to light, and I could not see).

I have only been to the ER one other time for getting my leg cut with a chain saw. Between that and other doctor visits, I was expecting a LONG wait to get in.

Not only was I process super quick at JC Med ER, but they put me in a special room that we could close the door and not have any light in there. Moreover, I had the nicest nurse that cared for me. Overall, I thought the "customer service" of treating a patient there was SUPERB!

Seriously though. My point is that there are clearly people who "CAN" afford to live in parts of JC, Manhattan, and Hobokan. Than there are people who "WANT" to live there, knowing they are paying more to live there, but choose to due to the demographics of the area.

My point is, there is NO control over this. Honestly, what are you or I really going to do beside BITCH on jclist.com about it. Nothing. Go make up a #OOPS#ed up saying and call me an ass. Still doesn't change the economics of this area.

Does it suck for some? Yes, will things most likely change? Probably not.

I agree with the fact that lefties suck!!! Listen, you can't save the world. Its very simple. If you cannot afford to live here, MOVE.

That is why they have the great ol' Midwest. For people who cannot afford the ritzy east coast lifestyle...

While I might not have my PHD in any form of chemistry, I do have thorough knowledge of handling haz-mat chemicals as I work for a trucking company.

Dangerous chemicals have been transported throughout the entire country in all its entirety for many years. You probably have passed a semi-truck carrying any form of haz-mat while walking the dog down the street. You may have also driven by a truck transporting haz-mat chemicals as well. However, since 9/11, there has not been that much detail paid to how we as a transportation industry (consuming air/land(truck & rail)/ship), safely secure this dangerous product.

While I believe your local Jersey City politician may not be as in-tune with ridding JC of deadly chemicals moving throughout our neighborhood, our federal government in conjunction with many transportation companies (including my own), have taken MANY necessary steps to train our industry in the transport of these chemicals.

Highway Watch
HM-232 Training & Certification
CT-PAT Awareness

Of course, there is ALWAYS the potential for a dangerous situation in handling any haz-mat chemical. However, I doubt that you will ever be able to stop these chemicals from moving within your residential community. If that were the case, say goodbye to fertilizer used on any commercial/residential lawns. (See the product used in the Oklahoma City Bombing).

I will say that the transportation industry is taking a PROACTIVE approach to preventing any future disaster. However, as we have seen, disasters, including terrorism, happen when we least expect...
