Sorry, but that is just ridiculous. JC has limited public transportation options and people here are primarily car based. Hell, even NYC, which is as free from a car-based environment as it gets has many people with cars, constant traffic and limited parking. Not saying we shouldn't work on infrastructure to make sure everyone is happy and has numerous options for transportation, deciding that people should just "not use cars" makes you seem incredibly out of touch.

I believe this has more to do with mental health issues and the way sufferers display their problem and what the triggers are for that display.
http://www.nami.org/factsheets/mentalillness_factsheet.pdf My concern is with this guys family - If his mental health issue causes him to explode in public over parking, what must his family be dealing with when he is at home in private - Domestic violence is a BIG problem in the US.

OP here.
Thank you, jcman420, for getting how absurdly far afield the intended topic became. I never imagined the parking aspect would be the salient point that was glommed onto. And GrovePath, a YELP review was a good idea. It's probably the best way to get a business to take notice and make others aware. I went ahead and posted, making it clear that I didn't use their actual services. I might also called them tomorrow to drive the point home. It was really outrageous and disturbing behavior to me, and I want them to know that.

It is absurd to me that in response to the OP recounting an incident during which he or she witnessed an employee of a local business screaming the "n-word" and the "f-word" in public, others are choosing to concentrate on the fact that the incident stemmed from a parking dispute.
Who cares what the argument was over? Do some people here think that Jersey City's parking situation somehow mitigates the egregiousness of this guy's alleged behavior?

Yelp reviews are from people who actually used the service. If you write fake 1 star reviews based on this post, that just isn't right. I don't like what the employee said but there must be better and more honest ways of dealing with this issue.

I think services are much more worried about YELP reviews than anything.

No you are not ruining my life, my condo has parking. You are ruining the life of people who park on the streets and need their cars to get to work the next day. One of the reasons I pushed for municipal garages had to due to snow storms. JC had a history of bad weather with cars being buried for weeks. It would be easier to remove the snow if cars were in garages.

Thank god you didn't get your way or this city would nothing but a paved over dump. But go ahead and keep banging your gong, it's good comic relief. By the way, "maybeMoving" was started as a reference to me "maybe moving" to JC. I did move, I bought property (without parking!), and now I'm one of the interlopers that is apparently ruining your way of life.

The point, maybemoving, and I hope you do, there is not enough parking spaces especially in downtown. I have been talking about this since the 1970s when land was available but it was given to developers. Because the contractor insulted someone doesn't change the facts.

I know the volume of cars and the parking situation downtown elicits strong opinions, but I didn't mean for that to be the point of the thread and am hoping the original intent isn't lost.
The J&J guy was way out of bounds yelling those slurs in the streets of this neighborhood. I was thinking that might matter to some people when choosing which company you want to do business with.

Did you tell him to come post on this board? He'd be in good company with the tide of racist and homophobic posts of late.

City should just ban overnight street parking before someone gets killed.

Some of you may wish car would go away, But the reality is - people use and depend on cars. I know of a number of similar incidents over parking spaces.

I was prepared to be outraged when I first say this post - until I read it was precipitated over parking. The 'N" word, the 'F' word are used by far too many people - especially the uneducated and lower classes - as shorthand for all sorts of things, especially when people are angry. A lapse in judgement on the worker's part, and hopefully he was reported to his employer.
But JC's over-dependency on the car, and the city's failure to at least manage car/truck/jitney overload, if it can't actually reduce the use of cars, not helping foster a more civil environment.

Alternatively, people who don't want to or can't pay for street parking should not consider DTJC as a place to live, in the same way that people who can't afford private school and don't like the public schools. Anyone ever read tha in Tokyo you can't register a car until you prove you have off street parking? Maybe I'm making that up, or its not Tokyo, but I wouldn't be the first to get my 'facts' mangled on JCList.
