Why and how is that?

Outdoor soccer camp for ages 6-14, at our beautiful outdoor field at Caven Point in Jersey City.

Jersey City Soccer Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit offering professional soccer coaching in a friendly co-ed environment.

There are so few places available for indoor sports in Jersey City, its crazy if this large gym is not used to the maximum.

Taxes are designed to reallocate resources from rich areas to poor, that is one of their main purposes!

To highlight this redistribution and say it indicates a problem, is backwards, that is what taxes do!

Perhaps there is more to the story, but from what is written, a 21 year old throwing parties and having guests, hardly seems the worst tenant you could have.

Involving the city, or "lawyering Up" is the worse thing you could do, in my opinion, just speak to her and let her know that you need the apartment back at the end of her lease, giving her plenty of notice to find a new place.

Jersey City Soccer Association are hoping to run our summer camp as planned this year. 100% refund if it does not happen. Held at Caven Point.

As Jclist fades to black, I like to think the last post will be a rant from Nick about Yvonne and the evils of Neighbourhood Associations.

Robin.

Angela McKnight?

Robin.

> Yvonne and the HPNA are trying to rally their usual band of NIMBY idiots against it

HPNA stands for Hamilton Park Neighbourhood Association; this development is in Harsimus Cove, not Hamilton Park.

Yvonne, to my knowledge, has never been a member of either Hamilton Park or Harsimus Cove Neighbourhood Associations.

Nick, if you get basic facts such as these so wrong, the rest of what you say has no credibility.

State taxes are *supposed* to take more taxes from wealthier areas with relative surpluses, and use it to help areas in greater need, that is a goal of taxes!

If every district paid an equal 'fair share', there would be no point in collecting state taxes in the first place, they could just allow each municipality pay fully for their own schools (and everything else).

That's what owning an old house means, no matter what inspector you have, there will be a myriad of issues.

Sudhan Thomas, thank god we voted that corrupt scum bag out.

This guy, as well as freshly infamous anti-semitic nut job Joan Terrell-Paige, are candidates backed by and pushed into office by the Jersey City teachers' union, thanks very much Ron Greco.

These are the people in charge of Jersey City's school system.

Robin.

Thanks Bamboozle, very helpful.

Seems that 1 and 2 family homes are not in scope under the laws posted above.

Has anyone in a 2 family been subject to this inspection and successfully (or unsuccessfully) had themselves exempted on this basis?

So you didn't let them in initially, they sent you a list of generic violations such as "inspect smoke detectors", then what?

You paid an electrician to inspect the smoke detectors, and sent them that? Did you later have to let them in to inspect? At that point they did they hit you with a bunch of other violations?

Very interested to hear other folks experiences, in order to judge the best way to handle this.

Robin.

I just had a fire inspector knock on my door and ask to inspect inside my house, my wife refused and said we had received no notification, he said we should have received a letter, he will resend it and return some point in the future.

This is not the state DCA inspection for 3 units and above, this is something different that I have not heard of in my 13 years of owning and living in Jersey City.

Here is the leaflet he gave us:

McNerd has girls' teams, varsity and junior varsity.

Catchment area is the whole city, so you might be able to play there. The coach's name is John Hughes.

I think however, that you should in the first instance contact the principal of the school you are interested in playing for, rather than the coach.

I often see that park being used to play volleyball by a large group of people.

They bring their own volleyball net, music and beers and have a good time.

I never realised there use to be a public pool at 531 Communipaw Avenue.

Well said Brewster, I add my voice to yours as someone who has interacted with her personally and been impressed. I haven't met a parent who doesn't like her, I am sure they exist, but among my network of 20-30 parents, all like her.

I'd like to hear from these students who the teacher's union claim feel Ms. McCabe was disrespectful to them, my daughter and her friends like Ms. McCabe. What does "disrespect" (a horribly over and misused word) mean in this context? She is a principal in charge of a school, so has policies, rules and discipline to enforce, I am sure some students will end up at odds with her over some of these things, but "disrespect" implies some flagrant form of inappropriate behavior that I find difficult to imagine coming from the Ms. McCabe I interacted with.

If Ms. McCabe was to be laid off / position not extended, why on earth would this be handled by her being "escorted out of the building by security"? this how Jersey City handles its severances? This is not how a professional organization should handle it severances.

The Board of Education must explain its actions.
