personally, i'd take ogden. i guess it depends where your fiance works in nyc. if it's downtown, then it would take a bit longer to get there unless you lived really close to the light rail elevator. if it's anywhere else in nyc, the jitneys to nyc pass on palisade pretty regularly, and will drop you off to 42nd street in nyc.
also, IMO the ogden ave area is nicer than the fairmount ave area. parkings harder to come by up in the ogden area though, so that's one of the trade offs

if it's the same one im thinking of, my best friend and his family have lived there for years (i'd say at least 20). they rented as far as i know, but i think i remember his mom mentioning that they were trying to convert them to condos.
the apt is ridiculously large. it reminds me of something like the apt in friends for some reason, lol. theyve got a foyer, kitchen, 2 living rooms, 2 oversized bedrooms and a bathroom. the neighborhood is decent enough except at night. as of a few years ago, they were hesitant to walk around in the area (and this coming from a family whos lived there most of their lives). im sure the area has gotten better, although bergen ave (a block away) at night isnt the place to be.

i was actually in court for an unrelated matter one day, when a few local inmates came in for their hearing. i expected them to be felons... weapons, drugs, etc. nope, they were all arrested for failure to pay child support.
now, the guys havent been working for whatever reason (poor education, bad economy, etc). they hadn't paid their child support. so the answer is to jail them so that they have even more trouble finding a job afterward? didnt they outlaw that years ago? putting you in jail and fining you X $, and not releasing you until you paid up? um hello would you pay if youre in jail? can't say i agree with what the cleaning guy did though. it would be one thing if all those potentially about to be arrested were non-violent criminals.. but what if there was a murderer or rapist in that bunch? or drug dealer?

this is a good idea for blocks that really are not too trafficked. i dont know if any of the DTJC ones on the list would fit this criteria. the ones i've driven by in the heights, however, seem ok choices to me.

i've only ever been to 5 corners, heights, and the main one downtown. my favorite was the main one, as they had nice secluded areas to sit down and read or to do work. it was hard to replicate this at the other 2 libraries, since they were smaller and invariably you would get some noise from people talking, etc.

i'd leave it out there. im sure someone will take it... if not the garbage collection, then someone who happens to be walking by and is interested by it. im assuming it's in usable condition? you could also try posting it on craigslist for free... or even just leave it outside, and post it on craigslist, and someone who is interested might just come by and pick it up

St. Peter and Paul's (Catholic) Church in Hoboken has weekly "young adults" mass Sundays at 7pm. I would say most of the people (maybe 80%) in attendance at these masses are in their late 20s - early 30s. Not sure if that's an option for you, but it's also a pretty good one to attend. They usually have a guy on keyboard and a chick with nice vocals who sing what you would call "newer age" church songs, as opposed to the older organ music you would commonly associate with going to church.

i dont think they would have run just for some weed. also i never understood why felons do the stupidest things (have tints, run stop signs, red lights). i've read many articles where felons have gotten arrested on other charges, all because they were stopped for running a light, etc. if youre going to have illegal items in your possession , why draw attention to it? i guess they're not the brightest of the bunch

or insurance, or electricity.. yes, there are a lot of other costs involved in owning a house. there are also other advantages, like building equity, having the freedom to raze the entire place and make it to your liking, having more space, etc. etc... are you really going to turn this into a buying vs renting rant?

that's a pretty stupid argument. i could say the same about newport (you have to lock your door... WAIT for the elevator at your apt to come... then walk out THE lobby, walk to the path, walk DOWN the escalators, and wait for the path. and if you happen TO work uptown, you have to take another subway just to get to work! imagine that. Notice my arbitrary capitalization of WORDS, to make my point seemingly more clear. Quote:
the assumption is that everyone works in NYC, or needs to go to NYC on a daily basis. under this assumption, living downtown is better because of the PATH. if this assumption is incorrect, then you might find living in the heights more convenient.

most of the houses in my area are about 100 years old. i doubt they razed brownstones and built the structures in place today. however, little by little, it's homeowners who are taking the initiative to improve the facades of their houses. drive down any of the side streets by JFK between manhattan ave and JSQ. you'll see progress has been made - many times with the entire existing structure knocked down, and a new one put in place (2 family, 2 car garage on 1st floor). there's a lot of these "new style" houses being made around the heights, and this is without being within easy walking distance to the PATH. if they would improve the late night bus service, i think it would only help to increase the speed at which these renovations take place
