Re: Powerhouse Arts District: artists win affordable units case - each valued at more than $400,000

Home away from home

The artist has to be certified by the city as being an eligible artist. From what I have heard it is very difficult to obtain this certification.

Graphic or industrial designer probably wouldn't qualify though don't quote me as I don't have a list of who has qualified previously.

As someone who knows cops who obviously have to live somewhere, I'd like to know what those programs he refers to are, as well.

Well said.

As for jenny's question/comment- I moved into the PAD not specifically because of the arts but because it is a quiet, small neighborhood and at the time at least the plan was for there to NOT be high rises constructed there- ever.

I don't know that I agree with Healy that this is a "victory for the city" given that the city leadership has spent the last several years trying to eviscerate the plan for PAD- but it *is* a victory for those of us who think elected officials should stick to their word and do the right thing by their constituents.

troysmith you are ill-informed as to how the PAD is *supposed* to work.

The provision of these units at this price point is the condition upon which the developer was allowed to put up the building in the first place. No units for the city at $1, no development.

As a resident of the PAD who has followed these issues fairly closely, I have to say, it's ludicrous to think the developer "didn't understand" this.

Bonilla was rushed to the Jersey City Medical Center, where police learned he had been treated before for being shot, beaten with a bottle, and cut with a machete, reports said.

MICHAELANGELO CONTE

So are they saying that Angel was shot, beaten with a bottle and cut with a machete then gets out of the hospital and get's shot 3 times? This was not a good day for Angel, somebody doesn't like him. The guy is like Rasputin. They will probably try poison next. I would avoid ravioli if I were him.

The sentence as written reads that he arrived at the hospital, was treated, and then shot, beaten, and cut with a machete.

Remind me to go up to St Mary's if I need treatment.

Re: Historic Newark Avenue graveyard Decays

With the proviso that there is a section of the cemetery on the east side (there's a hill and then a slope) that is MASSIVELY overgrown and you can clearly see there are graves back there but you'd need a machete to get thru.

Good luck, sorry I don't have anything more helpful to add.

I know this thread is specific to Hamilton Park, but I work about exactly where you do and I live in the PAD. If you commute via PATH to WTC everyday as I do, the 7 minute walk to Exchange Place can save you a ton of time waiting for a downtown PATH train.

Not to dissuade you from moving to HP, just sayin'.
