Hello JCList!
It's been a while since I've been on this board. It's been a while since I've lived in Jersey City, to be honest. Some of the long time JCListers might remember me as the editor of the original Jersey City real estate blog, NewYorksSixth.com. I'll be back in Jersey City next week to read and discuss my recently published book, Red Sauce: How Italian Food Became American. In Red Sauce, I explore the history and origins of Italian American dishes like veal parmigiana and penne alla vodka. RED SAUCE: HOW ITALIAN FOOD BECAME AMERICAN WORD Bookstore Wednesday, May 11 7 pm WORD RSVP / Info: https://shop.wordbookstores.com/event/word-presents-ian-macallen Please note that WORD has recently located from Newark Avenue to Hamilton Park. Also if you want to know more about the book, check out the information here: https://www.redsauceamerica.com/book.htm

There is one constant in the universe: "the community" is afraid of change, regardless of how good or bad that community is.

Again, in this case, legality probably doesn't matter. It will take a lot of time for the Hoboken bike share to pursue a legal remedy. Meanwhile, their bikes will continue to be impounded.

Even if its not actually illegal to park commercial bikes at public racks, its a small system without much of a budget. Hoboken might be able to file a lawsuit to get the JCPD to stop, or it might bankrupt the bikeshare system before it gets that far. Even so, the duration of a few months should be enough time for the council to actually make it illegal to park the for profit bikes at public racks.

Seems like a pretty easy solution is to simply have the JCPD cut off the locks on the Hoboken bikes and impound them.

25% of $20b is $5b. $5 billion is > $3b. So I'm not totally sure how this is a "better" deal. Also, ARC would have been owned by NJTransit exclusively. No rental fees to Amtrak, no rental fees to Port Authority. No scheduling conflicts with MTA or Amtrak. Just NJTransit. Oh, and ARC would have been completed in 2017. If Gateway breaks ground before 2020 I would be surprised. So there is all the lost wages and lost land values. So "better" I guess is a relative term.

New Jersey's annual budget is about $40 billion dollars. That's about $6,000 in spending per person.
The original state contribution to ARC was $3 billion over 7 years, which is about $500 million a year, or .0125% of the annual budget. That comes out to about $75 per person per year in spending. However, since the project would have created construction jobs during that time and most of that money would come back to the state as income tax -- and some of that money was also Federal tax dollars -- the cost per person isn't as high. The main reason the ARC was cancelled was not with regards to the tunnel, but because Christie wanted the Port Authority's contribution to ARC ($2.7 billion) to go to Pulaski repairs ($1.8 billion). He also was under the impression that the federal transportation dollars would still be awarded to NJ even though it wasn't being used for the original project, either because of ignorance or delusion. That was not the case, and the Federal government sued for $271 million dollars. NJ ultimately paid out $95m.

New York still has not actually put any money in. The only thing Cuomo has actually is said is that abstractly, at some point in the future, when he is no longer governor, New York will contribute some amount of money not yet determined. Meanwhile, there are 8 million NYC voters who are looking at the underfunded Second Avenue subway asking for money for that project. There are other NYS voters looking for better train access along the east side of the Hudson River. Long Islanders looking for more funding for LIRR. I wouldn't count your NYS dollars until the check clears.

File a complaint with the Board of Public Utilities in NJ. They are responsive can help you get the power back on, especially if the party responsible for electricity bill is the property management company, or if the metering equipment is incorrectly labeled.
http://www.bpu.state.nj.us/ Also as a tip, in my experience, telling PSEG that there is a baby residing in the apartment can get the power turned back on or at least turned back on more quickly. Hint: I've never lived with a baby.

Ending one subsidy -- low cost parking -- is the first step in shifting policy. Charging market rate is not a penalty. A penalty would be charging above market rate to discourage the behavior.

Charging market rate for parking would be the first step in incentivizing mass transit as it would make parking a privately owned vehicle more representative of the cost of owning that vehicle rather than artificially decreasing the cost of ownership.

Car owners are getting something for free / below market rate cost. Non-car owners are subsidizing their free / low cost parking. If you can't afford market rate costs for your car, then you don't need the car.

Re: Indian females lack of assimilation

Why is it that a sizable segment of the older people in JC refuse to assimilate and continue to dress in their traditional suit and ties as if their still living in the suburbs? Would it not behoove them tremendously to attempt to make at least a token effort to dress like a hipster so as to ingratiate themselves to the hipsters of Brooklyn they ostensibly want to be citizens of?
I'm sorry but the way they dress reminds of the mall at short hills and in my view contributes to the suburbanization of New York City. HELLO you're no longer living in a freakin cul-de-sac (which you should thank urban planners for!!!!) so unless you're just visiting here for goodness sake could you please just make some kind of effort to incorporate elements of hipster style into your everyday wardrobe? Is that asking to much?! HELLO we're an exclusive club of fashion forward young people after all now get with the program already!!!! ....and don't even get me started on Hoboken girls in Uggs!!!!!!

Re: Reroute Center St!

Center Street was reworked so that Columbus could be turned into a 6 lane highway to help suburban commuters get to the office district downtown. The city wants everyone to use Columbus to get to and from the Turnpike. But don't worry! Since they widened Grand Street and turned that into a speedway, they are going to build a 4 lane bridge connecting Jersey Avenue to the Turnpike by Liberty State Park so that suburban commuters will have to highways to get to the office towers downtown.

There is too much parking downtown. There are too many vacant spots. I think the correct word you are looking for though is there is no longer FREE parking downtown. That's the cost of a car, and it doesn't even begin to reflect the social and environmental costs of car ownership. You should be happy that current parking fees for private lots aren't required to reflect the real cost of car ownership.

The problem is the Port Authority isn't a state agency. Its a bi-state agency. New Yorkers have plenty to gain from a faster ride straight from lower Manhattan to Newark Airport and arguably, much less to gain from spending money on a rail tunnel to New Jersey, particularly after New Jersey's government wasted hundreds of millions of dollars and turned down $3 billion in federal aid.
