Agreed. There is so much more this area has to offer than it did in the past. All of these new restaurants, bars, and retail stores are worth something no matter how sensationalistic you want to get. There's no denying that the economy sucks right now, but some areas are always going to do better than others. This area is one of those b/c it is improving every day. You can't walk around and not notice that. Like groovejet said, the rent vs. buy equation is still pretty close in that $300-$350 range.

I sold my condo at a little more than 10% profit after only holding it for 2 years last month. You are an idiot - the market here is a little slow, but people are still making money. I am living, breathing proof of that.

There's a lot of humor and truth in that statement. Corzine gets to appease car nazis like GP and not get stuck in traffic on the Parkway. That's a win-win. Also, I'm curious if roads really are subsidized after you account for the gas tax. Anybody have any info on this?

Why the he!! would you advocate them to raise our income tax when we have drug dealers getting $50k a year in government jobs? Once the govt. cleans its house, then it can come knocking on my door. And as far as widening the turnpike, the traffic is on the weekends. This is not commuter traffic. It is people on vacation and people visiting friends and family that live South of here. You are advocating that we cripple our tourism industry and inhibit the ability of people to move to a different city (away from their families) for a good job. Both options are horrible for our economy. I think you really either want to raise the gas tax or enforce more stringent CAFE laws. There is no reason to blindly oppose any proposal that involves cars.

I've been a victim of the boot as well. I think it's complete crap. Isn't the $42 ticket enough to discourage commuters? The f-ing ticket is like $150 now with the boot.

I'd really like to see them widen the turnpike in exchange for this toll increase for exits 1-9. Don't know if that is in the plan. The weekend traffic during the summer makes me want to kill myself sometimes.
My initial reaction was pretty ticked b/c I know that there is so much waste in the government and Corzine is very tax happy. On the other hand, after seeing all of the comments about auxiliary roads getting more crowded I like the idea. Let all of the poor peoply get to work at 25mph, while all the BMW's and Audi's get to go 70-80 mph. That's fine with me and I'll pay extra for the privelege. It sucks if your poor though.

Although I support this law, it would cause a lot of pain for a lot of small business owners. I don't buy the enforcement argument though. In all of the liquor stores in JC, I see 15 year olds go inside all the time to buy candy or soda or whatever.

I checked it out on Saturday for the first time. I really like the vibe, the food was solid, and $5 for a Fullers is a pretty good deal. It p*sses me off to read all of the negative buzz on this place. I would have put up with a lot worse than I received to support a decent bar on Newark.

Steve, I respect what you are doing a ton. Thank god someone is calling out all of the crooks in our local government. I agree that the selling of hard drugs like heroin and crack are no good for the community. Unfortunately, the buyers are addicts that need help. When an addict is caught, you can either point them in the right direction and show them hope, or you can take even more from them and give them more hopelessness. In that context, which do you really think is most effective? These folks need a helping hand. Another point - if marijuana is not a part of this plan. You need to make this abundantly clear and stress to the JJ reporters that the exclusion of m/j is an important part of your plan that voters need to aware of. Given your position, you are probably unaware of an affluent and educated portion of your voters that care a tremendous amount about this issue. Get aware. More importantly, if you don't think marijuana is destructive enough to warrant inclusion into this bill, then why are the selling/distribution laws in this city so stringent? As for prostitution, the shame method is proven effective. PROVEN. Why risk the chance that you will hurt innocent, unwilling members of their family?
