I think you guys are getting distracted with the meaning of the term "luxury." I could live in a luxurious palace in Africa, surrounded by crime and Ebola. Doesn't mean I'd want to live there.

My point was they are offering a jitney bus to Journal Square, with stainless steel appliances and a fire pit. LMAO which makes it luxury. Some idiot will rent it, perhaps one of your cousins but that's none of my business.

If you're saying that GV is a more desirable neighborhood than Paulus Hook or even more objective - that homes in PH don't command a higher price per sq ft than homes in GV than I am not the idiot. In fact, you should visit the ER right now.

OK I will play, you're an idiot but anyway. Here is a article about a luxury rentals in Bayonne...Need I say more, a joke. Only thing that you said that I would I agree with that is luxury is the word itself other than that you live in apt complex period, but continue. Since you never been to Greenville you don't know that we also have "luxury" apts here is well which I would never, ever live in. Anywhere outside of Jersey City, these are called standard apartments with some perks. in Dallas, Texas these apts are standard and most would not call them "Luxury" However if you grew up in a trailer park I understand your confusion.

Negative. This misconception is only perpetrated by those who do not live in luxury buildings. First let me say that I am not claiming to be better than anyone. I am just stating facts and the fact is the neighborhood I live in - Paulus Hook is more desirable (more in demand by buyers), priced at a higher per sq ft, and safer than GV and BL. Those are facts which can be substantiated, as I have in many posts, with objective data - you know numbers. Not the subjective "but its so bland, and blah blah blah" that no buyer gives 2 cents about and values more than location and safety and resale value. Second, luxury is subjective - true. But no one would argue that a concierge building with amenities like a gym, pool, dog park, theater room, etc is not luxurious. It is easier to spot what is not luxury than what is luxury. Third point - a luxury building (and I mean the entire building) with everything I have mentioned in GV and BL will sell for less than a 1 br penthouse in a luxury building in DTJC. Another fact. And to the other poster who says I have never been to GV and BL - that is true. I thought that was a given since I am still alive but whatever.

I find people who grew up dirt poor use the term "Luxury" when describing their apts, which happens to have stainless steel appliances woohoo!!. Give me a break! I live in a luxury house which has all those things you described, including a gym, stainless steel appliances, parking, hard wood floors, a double deck. a master suite and front yard cafe. Whatever makes you guys feel better than me.. LOL Continue.

I forget, "luxury" in other parts of JC denotes simply freedom from whizzing bullets on the regular. In JC, that appears to be a real luxury!

Again with this debate. Compared to the majority of other residences (in JC and elsewhere), luxury apartment buildings have a doorman, amenities like gyms, tennis courts, movie rooms etc. which some in DTJC/Newport have. Just because they don't have gold plated doorways, etc. doesn't mean it's luxury; there are degrees of it, you know.
Get over yourselves and your insecurities. There are "luxury" buildings in DTJC, so give it a rest. Just ignorant haters. Quote:

I believe there are those type of places on every block in GV and BL. DTJC offers luxury condo/rental living Heights offers more space for your dollar Journal Square offers ethnic food a good investment Newport offers unobstructed views of Manhattan What exactly does BL and GV offer besides crime and more crime? I think it's totally right for the make it yours campaign to have most scenes filmed in the orderly neighborhoods of JC

The Crown Fried chicken on Communipaw was where Bobby Baccala shot the rapper 'in the fleshy part of the thigh' on The Soprano's! They changed the name on the building, but you can see the Rodriguez Brothers bodega across the street.

It's West Side, not Westside. And, indeed, that is a shot (facing Northeast) of the corner of Communipaw Avenue and West Side Avenue. South of there, you have what many consider to be the best burger in all of JC: New Park Tavern. And, that Cluck-U is surprisingly good. I have tried it two or three times.

Picture of corner of Communipaw and Westside (I think) in today's NYT. One image includes - Cheap Chinese, Cluck-U, Blimpie and 99 cent store. Is this a coincidence in an article concerning a worldwide phenomenon?

Interesting, no Bergen Lafayette? So according to this site BL is not a neighborhood/Section of the city and has been thrown under the GreenVille umbrella. Thanks!

You are absolutely correct, JSleeze, but you are comparing the 1930s to 2014. In the 1930s, Jersey City had large families, five children were considered average but some families did have ten or more children. Today a household might be one person plus his/her pet. And every household requires their own housing unit. People in the 1930s, with the Depression on, did not buy cars, besides the trolley system was all over town. Class size was large; it wasn?t unusual to have 50 plus students in a classroom. I knew some teaching nuns who told me in the 1970s about their large student population 40 years earlier. Large populations also happened in public schools in the 1930s. Those class sizes would be illegal today. JSleeze, you should be comparing household numbers of the past with household numbers of today which is different than population. If you want to compare history then read old copies of the Jersey Journal during the 1930s and 1940s, people actually put notices in the paper announcing when they would be on vacation. Today, that would be an invitation to rob your house.

In 1930, when you were in high school Yvonne, Jersey City had 316,715 people - about 60,000 more than now. Even in 1960, when people were much more dependent on the car than in 1930 (and probably as much as today) there were 276,000 people - 20,000 more than now. So - What. Is. Your. Point? It's like you wake up every morning and try to figure out new ways to show anyone who will listen just how dense you are. You speculated that 8,000 adults would move in and every single one of them would take the PATH. At the same time they are (presumably) in the city, their 3,000 cars will be roaming the streets of JC unmanned. And while every single adult who moves here will be taking the PATH,not one of them will be staying home to raise their 2,000 children. Not one. (Fortunately, the number of school aged kids that would come along with 8,000 adults moving into new rental bldgs. oriented to commuting into the city would be less than 500, probably way less, many studies have shown. Younger people aren't as (and don't want to be to nearly the same extent) dependent on cars. This is widely documented in press that doesn't rely on parchment paper for distribution.

This marketing campaign just follows in the footsteps of Fulop's MO: he's made JC his own personal PR and marketing leaping pad to the governors race.

If this campaign brings in 10,000 new residents, let's say 2,000 will be children which means we need new schools, teachers, and parks. Perhaps, there will be 3,000 cars on our streets and 8,000 people taking the PATH. JC is 14 square miles, Newark is 24 square miles. There is a reason they are the largest city, they have more land. There is no purpose of bringing over more people unless we can accommodate them, especially when it comes to building new schools and hiring more teachers. New structures will be tax abated leaving the burden of new schools on regular taxpayers.

Here's another way to bring people to JC for a visit. Yvonne, since you appear to be our Nuncio, is there anything afoot?
