Did he learn this in History class at State ? Good ol' New Jersey City University. Gotta be honest with you.....most Ivies or other Top Tens have in their core curriculum an Art History class that includes enough rudimentary information about architecture in the 19th century, such that it rivals what he seems to have learned (based on his narrow-visioned implementation) in four years. By the way he walks around mandating such details, you'd think he had a Masters' from a top ten. Afraid not......try a 2001 undergrad from ol' 440 University. |

Dan had asked our contractor to mix the "recipe" while he was present so that he could be sure they were doing it correctly. He shouldn't be interfering with the professionals. He thinks he knows more than they do. |

Dan should have never bragged about it. Word got around,because you never know who he is going to turn on next. He befriends people, then betrays them.

Are you actually attempting to apply this ancient doctrince of "commons" to the Jersey City historic ordinance? I hope not, but its totally inapplicable at a variety of levels. For one this is not an agricultural society. More over, commons pertains to land that had usefulness. The color of one's home or style of their windows in no way would fall under this doctrine.
Your explanation is a good example of how a little knowledge could be a dangerous thing. Quote:

the issue is not the right to regulate by a clear and unambiguous code? it the arbitrary and capricious application?.. note the gentlemen that cited that Dan didn?t like the colors chosen off the historic chart??what qualifies dan to make that decision or even make that uninvited comment?? what gives dan the right to make the final decision when chosen off the charts in accordiance with the regulations?? to carry the logic of your argument further the government should own all real estate and hold it for the common good, in addition to that all other resources they should be held by the government for the common good?. But that is not the way in a capitalistic system and democracy and we as home owners have the rights inparticular we have a constitutional right that the ordinances and regulations cannot be ambiguous and arbitrarily enforces? we are entitled to equal protection under the law? that is not the case with the historic commission, and that is where we will challenge the ordinance??.. in addition if what you have to say is worth saying putting your name on it would give it creditability?? warren curtin

A "commons" is any resource used as though it belongs to all. In other words, when anyone can use a shared resource simply because one wants or needs to use it, then one is using a commons. For example, all land is part of our commons because it is a component of our life support and social systems.
A commons is destroyed by uncontrolled use?neither intent of the user, nor ownership are important. An example of uncontrolled use is when one can use land (part of our commons) any way one wants. Tragedy of the Commons Visualize a pasture as a system that is open to everyone. The carrying capacity of this pasture is 10 animals. Ten herdsmen are each grazing an animal to fatten up for market. In other words, the 10 animals are now consuming all the grass that the pasture can produce. Harry (one of the herdsmen) will add one more animal to the pasture if he can make a profit. He subtracts the original cost of the new animal from the expected sales price of the fattened animal and then considers the cost of the food. Adding one more animal will mean less food for each of the present animals, but since Harry only has only 1/10 of the herd, he has to pay only 1/10 of the cost. Harry decides to exploit the commons and the other herdsmen, so he adds an animal and takes a profit. Shrinking profit margins force the other herdsmen either to go out of business or continue the exploitation by adding more animals. This process of mutual exploitation continues until overgrazing and erosion destroy the pasture system, and all the herdsmen are driven out of business. Most importantly, this illustrates the critical flaw of freedom in the commons: all participants must agree to conserve the commons, but any one can force the destruction of the commons. Although the example describes exploitation by humans in an unregulated public pasture, this commons and "grass" principle fit our entire society, and Jersey City?s historic districts. Private property is inextricably part of our commons because it affects our quality of life and the collective property values of all. Owners alter the properties of our quality of life and collective property values when they alter their land to "make a profit"?installing the least costly exterior rather than the historically appropriate. |

I am amazed that Wrieden works with so many Italians. I know him, and have heard him use words like "sleazy guinea", and things I haven't heard said since the 1960s.
After life in the suburbs, we got all over this. He sounds like a 70 year old lady. Maybe he is. Oh yeah, the first time I heard him say "sleazy guinea", he was refering to a religious order he claimed to be a part of. Salesians or such. There have been other comments over the years, and I just look at him. I feel sorry for him in a way. He must have never been loved by an Italian, once you have you never go back. Good luck Gucciardi and Lambiasi. |

I would like to send some material to you about my house, and, perhaps a couple of police reports. It's a bad case. I have to talk it over with my partner, who is afraid of the fines, and the things we have to say.
Dan is just looking for a name to blame and persecute. He must think you've written all these letters yourself. That would be easy, to think only one person would speak out. We speak amongst ourselves, and the most severe of the stories I have heard between friends, have yet to appear here. The contractors are faced with even stiffer fines than us, and all they really say is they hate the man, for both the way he speaks to him (no respect), and the often stupid things he wants them to do.And ofcourse, the overbearing manner. Thank you for starting this,I hope more people find this list and add their own story. At least they can feel safe here. Later, maybe the signed letters will come. |

I am Warren Curtin and over the past few months I have been trying to effect change in the historic ordinance and the position of the historic officer. I have knocked on so many doors and heard of such outrageous stories of people?s experiences with the commission and the historic officer. I have met with Bob Cotter and at the end of our meeting he was to speak with the historic officer, I never heard back from Mr. Cotter. I wrote to Mr. Cotter in June and to date no response. In June I also wrote to our councilman office and had no response as well as the Mayors Office. With persistent phone calls was able to meet with the Mayor on 9/28 and with the information I gave him he wanted to reschedule to include Mr. Cotter. I have not heard back from the Mayors office and was actually called a bully by the Mayors assistant.
I have been gathering letters from community members in regard to their experience with the historic commission and the historic officer, and I continue to do so. I have prepared packets and delivered them to the Mayoral candidates and have been greeted with much the same attitude that I am the only one that has ever made a complaint. If that is their position of our elected officials and candidates, except for Lou Manzo who did listen and offer assistance, the rest must be so far out of touch with reality they don?t belong in office representing our community. We will have a chance in November as well as a second bite at the apple in May and new representation is truly needed. I have this perverse attitude that government is of the people and for the people, and expect elected officials and civil servants to be responsive to the people. Apparently in Jersey City we are an imposition to their personal agendas and not the reason for their existence. I cannot understand when such outrageous abuses by a civil servant and is supported by the elected officials. I feel that this can only be because we the people relinquish our right in a democracy to those officials and individual and don?t voice their opinions with their votes. I have met contractors in actual fear and professionals that won?t speak or put their experiences in writing. For every letter I have and cam demonstrate 10 with equally horrific experiences. With all that in mind this has nothing to do with sexuality, or personal traits mine or anyone elses. It is about qualifications for the job, and performance on the job. It is about the ordinance and because of the abuses and that they are so pervasive that a change has to be. The authority must be handed over to an authority that is impartial and with out a personal agenda. That is what I have been working for and to that end if there are similar experiences that any one is willing to share, with name and address included I would appreciate hearing from you, my e-mail address is wacurtin@aol.com. All letters will be included and shared with appropriate officials to help effect change. I thank all those that have participated, and most of all those who have taken the time to draft letters of their experiences. Warren Curtin wacurtin@aol.com |

We wish to remain anonymous because we own property downtown and know first hand about the problems. Some people in power are vindictive and will get even. Dan's wrath can cost a homeowner thousands and thousands of dollars.

Beware, Dan wants to pick colors. We went down with a Benjamin Moore Historic Color Chart. He did not like the colors we picked out. He wants his colors. We did not like his colors and threatened to go over his head. You cannot tell from those old black & white photos what colors were on the house. Dan pretends to know.
Also, when our house was built, it did not have electricity or indoor plumbing. If you follow Dan's reasoning, we should put all that out too! |

Please don't fed on Daniel's hysteria. He is a paranoid who sees a gay basher behind every bush. Daniel needs to be gay, so he can say-see they hate me because I am gay-to cover up the fact they hate him for so many other reasons. Reasons all provided by Daniel himself. He sets this all in mtion. I'm sure it has a name, and perhaps some medication for it. |

The lady is really beside herself over the whole situtation. She lives on a fixed income, and is about 70, and tells her story to anyone who will listen. I feel bad for her.

He screws his friends too. Ask the elderly Filipino woman at 54 Wayne Street. She says Wreiden has three times made her wait for permits. She is always losing her contractor due to this, and has to pay more each time. She says Wrieden was her friend, and does not understand why he drags his feet, and will not return her calls. This job slowdown is causing her more money than she has.
