Personally...I support the American Can Company abatements, just as I supported giving the Beacon abatements. Some areas of the city need stimuli to spark growth.
What I cannot understand at all is giving abatements to Hudson River projects. It's just crazy. The JC waterfront is some of Hudson County's most desired residential real estate. People don't need to be cajoled and coaxed to live there. 20 years ago, abatements made sense in Newport. Now they are simply giveaways to the affluent.

Pisces, I hardly doubt that millionaires are gonna invade the neighbourhood but the demographics will change. That's a given.
And why would Steve vote for abatements like he does...do you really need to ask??? He's not the only one that will vote for it. If all members of the CC show up to vote, the vote will go something like 7-2-0 with Fulop and Richardson voting against it.

Millionaires? How much are these places going for? If I were a millionaire, I don't think Journal Square probably would be on the top of my list of places to live.

I am really annoyed at the American Can Company condo converstion tax breaks, these 600 new units will effectvilly double the neighborhood population, increase traffic, and put a burden on already stretched emergency services and police. The middle class indian homeowners who bought in the neigborhood in the 1980's will get screwed on property taxes, while millionaires in the condos will live tax free. And, the neighborhood does not have a real park, the closest parks are in the heights or over on west side avenue, usually developers at least offer green space or some other tangible benifit. And let's not foreget the giant warehouse and trucking center that will be built one block away on tonnelle circle, with hundreds of heavy trucks a day roaring though a residential neighborhood. And let's not forget the other 600 unit condo on JFK two blockas away, being built with a huge parking garage, when their is no need for it, becuase it is five blocks from the PATH.
Also, why is Steve the only one who votes against these abatements?

Don't waste your time calling your council person. "Give it away" Healy is simply a LIAR and an incompetent mayor. Hopefully, in the next election, Healy will be voted out.

This Wednesday the Jersey City council will vote on 2 tax abatements, a 20 year for a new Newport residential?building and a 30 year for the American Can building that is being converted into apartments.? Most of you are against tax abatements for luxury apartments, so am I.
