Why do you need a reason to stay? You've been there 4 years and has seen what the neighborhood has to offer, if you dont like it go someplace else. Dont see why you need a reason??

One of my posts from a few days ago. Some reasons for staying in JC: Car alarms, packs of angry teens destroying everything in their path home from school, drunken bar patrons, the yellow air cloud above the pulaski skyway, jc government, montgomery projects, raggaeton being played outside my door at 9 am on a sunday morning, car horns that sound the entire "la cuckaracha" melody, c-town, alternate parking, 99 cent stores...marybarr.

I don't know if BK or Queens will be any different.

At the moment, Astoria or Greenpoint. Shantyirish, thanks for the civilized response.

Dont let the door hit you on the way out.

well for comparison purpose, where in brooklyn or queens were you thinking of moveing?

try moving to the downtown jersey city area. Lots of things open late. I wish there were more, but it's decent.

My wife and I have lived in the Heights for four-odd years. We keep hoping that the neighborhood might begin popping with a little life, but most places close by 9:00 with the exception of old man bars. We're thinking about leaving JC for Brooklyn or Queens. Why stay in JC? I'm ready to be convinced.
