Last night, near Starbucks, a car alarm went off for two whole hours before Spartan Security reached the scene at 1.30am, probably cause somebody complained of the noise.

Made me think what if the car alarm went off cause there was an attempt to steal it (isn't that what car alarms were made for in the first place - not just to annoy us, right?)? The criminals would have no trouble getting away, cause security didn't even get to the scene for two hours...

That's Spartan Security for ya! Be safe, Newport-ites!

aah - someone else on jclist shares my woes and has been posting to the Kearny helipad issue lately - http://jclist.com/modules/newbb/viewt ... id=293367#forumpost293367

i have been here 9 years and helicopter traffic over the hudson has only become worse over the last few years. If you read this memo from NYC's EDC, the routes were changed in 2010 in response to noise complaints from NYC residents.

Of course Jersey suffers. When I spoke to the Chairman of the ERHC (who surprisingly picked up his cellphone listed on their website), he also told me that the Colgate helipad was being opened this year and that would really bring the noise closer.

Their needs to be a solution.

JC_DowntownRegular: wow man! sorry i offended you at so many levels. take a chill pill and enjoy your sunday :o)

more recent than forever!

did you just move here from dumbville? read the memo - they changed the routes r-e-c-e-n-t-l-y!! moron.

How do they expect us to live here along the Hudson waterfront with helicopters flying over the river ALL day long. They are noisy as hell and almost feels like we are living in a war zone. Is this fair to us in Jersey? NYC did this deliberately to eliminate noise over the city and here is the proof http://www.nysaenet.org/resources1/in ... 0/inview052010_article11/

Read point number three, specifically where it says "returning south center-west of the Hudson" - that's closer to NJ than to NY.

Its just maddening...

Is there anything we can do except move?

What really bugs me how apathetic people are to pregnant women traveling on the PATH. C'mon people! Be human! Give up your seat to a pregnant woman - don't close your eyes and pretend to sleep!

Its true - only in Jersey City can a nightclub like Michael Anthony's operate till 3am and play incredibly loud music so close to a residential building. Not only that, only in Jersey City can you call the cops to complain and expect nothing to happen. For years...
