lol i intend to move to the burbs this for my parents. This exactly why the younger generations who actually get educated and are successful all leave jersey city. Theres nothing but bs and corruption to deal with in jersey city. Thats the reason why crime is so high out of all my friends and classmates who went on to make something of themselves very few if any would even consider staying here, and thats why the crime rate is so high, because frankly theres no incentive to stay here so the only people who do stay here are the ones who didnt get an education and have no choice. The old jersey city where hard working honest people lived is long dead. The only exceptions are maybe the waterfront parts and frankly if it was up to them theyd secede from jersey city and try and become part of hoboken lol

u know what, thats not a bad idea, so why not send your emails and complain about the city instead of stopping hard working tax paying citizens from enjoying their own property.

u know wat raj dont even apologize theres alot of ignorant people in here. Anyone who has been to Duncan knows wat its like down there, frankly some of those parts i dont like walking in the day, let alone night . Instead of focusing on the massive crime and ppl who are sitting at home collecting government checks, these ppl are talking aesthetics as if theyre living in paris. Look we work hard and pay taxes its not too much to ask to have a a stupid driveway to put ur car so you dont worry about having someone destroy ur car in street parking or getting mugged walking home. Why dont they fix the crime and corruption in this city first, for god sakes our councilman pissed on ppl at a concert, and theyre talking to me about aesthetics, if you want aesthetics go to the MET or something and lets the rest of us have a minor convenience that everyone in the world has.

As a law student I'm trying to do this the legal way. I posted on here because I know there is a legal way to get a variance, its just somewhat difficult and I was wondering if anyone went through the process. I agree I'm mad about illegal driveways too, but at the same time now theyre punishing people like my parents who do everything by the book. As for aesthetics lets be realistic its the city, jersey city isnt stopping people from building those huge 2 family houses that have illegal apartments and fit like 50 ppl in them with 10 cars, well all those illegal residents are taking the parking spots, and it seems only fair the people who live on the block who pay their taxes should be able to park their car. I'm in the heights there are no historic houses on my block or in my area in general. Honestly if people really want aesthetics move to the suburbs plain and simple, but dont screw over the little guy who follows the law while everyone around him breaks it. Anyway like I said I have no intention of doing it illegally I just want some advice on how to proceed to get the variance, I know its possible.

Hi I would like to build a driveway in place of my front yard the contractor today told me I would need to get a variance. I was wondering if someone would explain to me what exactly I would need to do. I'm a law student and I'm doing this for my parents so I'm hoping I'll be able to do most of the stuff myself. Thanks for any help
