I love Downtown Hardware, and as a DIY-er, was in there every weekend. Its loss will be felt hard in my household. It's not just them, though (and not just the pedestrian plaza). Small hardware stores everywhere are taking a hit:

These are great questions that the city really needs to address. Once again, traffic downtown was a nightmare, with very little police presence and zero signage. Drivers had no idea why they were at a standstill on First Street, and many laid on their horns in frustration. This happens every time a parade or festival closes Jersey City streets. Posting it on the city's website isn't enough. They really need to step up awareness before and during these events.

The quotes in this article are hilarious. Two heartfelt testimonials about how AirBNB saved the family farm, and one short, poorly-worded "AirBNB bad."
Very even-handed sampling, Jersey Journal. Quote:

There was a sizeable blast of vomit on and in front of the stoop of the Air BNB hotel at 222 First Street. Since the owner lives in the Hamptons, and there's no housekeeping on Sunday, the neighbors got to walk around this treat for the entire weekend.
Good times.

This woman has been the bane of Wayne Street for quite awhile, battling neighbors on the daily. It's tragic, as there is clearly some mental illness going on.

Would be great if the bars and restaurants on Newark Ave could be persuaded to validate parking at any of the decks on Columbus, so that out-of-town patrons don't come hollering down residential streets at 2am. Because for some reason they always seem to be yelling.

UPDATE: The missing fledgling has been found 4 blocks from the nestbox. Looks like the parents have been feeding her all week, and then she hit a building. She's been picked up and is being evaluated.

it is possible - really, it is! - to care about more than one thing at once. to say "I don't care about this, because there are bigger tragedies," is to say that you pretty much don't care about anything short of world annihilation, as every tragedy pales in the face of it. plus, worse than being a DB, you just sound like an idiot.

I assume you mean "expansive," not expensive. And please explain that statement, and cite examples, if possible. Are you decrying the fact that slavery is now being taught as an atrocity, and not just a way of life for the south? Does it pain you that civil rights are explored? That the treatment of Native Americans is rightly seen as a genocide? That Columbus maybe isn't the hero we were all once taught? Righting the wrongs of past curricula should be embraced, even if it means bringing formerly marginal figures to the forefront (when it turns out they're not marginal at all).

Why allow 5 units in the first place?? That is insane. Subletting your home while you're on vacation: awesome. Renting out a spare room or mother-in-law suite: super. Removing 5 rental units from the market to run your own ad hoc hotel in a residential neighborhood: hell no.

As the next-door neighbor of an entire apartment building that's being run as an AirBNB hotel, I applaud this restriction. The developer pitched this new construction to the neighborhood and zoning board as rental apartments, and then promptly furnished them and listed them all on AirBNB and comparable overseas short-term rental sites. He lives in the Hamptons, and his neighbors get to deal with the noise and confusion of a stream of transient visitors. (Confusion because, weekly, one of them sets off the fire alarm, and our street is filled with ladder trucks. Maybe label your system more clearly, absentee concierge?)
