This will be built on city property so no property taxes are paid, the city will spend the money for maintenance, so the developer is off the hook. No taxes plus no maintenance equal sweetheart deal for developer of $45 million dollars.

What you're talking about is urbanization. Yes, the trend has been going that way for years.

I am talking about the implied idea that car-based cities don't exist or are unsustainable/do poorly economically (in response to Yvonne wanting there to be a parking space for every resident, in addition to parking available at all destinations within a city). My point is they do exist (Houston), but it won't work here because too many people want to live here (in a very, very small area), to be close to NYC, and therefore land is at a premium. Free parking doesn't make the owners money. The land is simply too valuable, and we have efficient mass transit that can get you where you need to be without a car. That is not the case in Houston. Period. And yet Houston has one of the strongest economies in the country. So car-based cities can and do prosper.

I am not arguing the trend that cities are moving toward urbanization rather than suburbanization. Not sure how that got confused, but if you look at the previous comments, they are about parking.

Houston has 4 or 5 distinct "downtowns" all with a focus on a different economy (medical center, energy corridor, rice university, downtown "downtown", etc) and all with tons of retail/bar/community. It works precisely bc it is so spread out. Would that work here? I would argue (as it seems a lot of people argue) that it wouldn't. My only point is that car culture isn't necessarily bad from an economic standpoint, it just simply can't work here due to the logistics (everyone trying to get into the same place at the same time).

Actually, I think you are still missing the point. Even in Texas, where I lived for many years, and still visit almost monthly, the downtown areas of all major cities are moving towards the same concept as in other places: live, work, play, shop locally. In the San Antonio downtown area, which was deserted and depressing (outside of the River Walk area) they are now putting up lofts that include commercial, retail and restaurants. The same happened in Dallas, and Houston. Austin already had something similar. The goal is to spur development that allows people to live, work and play all within small areas. Of course, in places like Texas, a car is still a necessity, as distances can be daunting and impractical for mass transit, but the downtown areas are being revitalized as it is being done all over the US.

Hudson County View on the $20 million complex, I wish the true numbers will come out, taxpayers will pay $45 million in rent. But nevertheless, here is the video. http://hudsoncountyview.com/mayor-ful ... osed-mlk-city-hall-annex/

That pic is from an article about how the city's turnaround after the 80's recession started when they filled in some of that empty space with human-scale development.

Also: it's still not a place I'd want to live. A neighborhood is about more than just having a job.

I will recommend this link: Merriam-Webster

You have absolutely no idea what the definition of the word is.

Parking is for visitors of those to the hospital. You are aware that people have family in other towns right? And having parking at a hospital isn't even required. I've pointed out one in the Manhattan that doesn't.

As I said before... people move for a lot of reasons. You want things to return to the way they were in the 50's and 60's? Fine. Move somewhere that still wants the world to be like that. You live in an urban environment. One in which the car is getting ditched. Get with the program or get out. Your choice.

You moved once before. It could have been because you wanted more space. It could have been that you wanted fewer stairs. It could have been that you didn't like the amount of people around or the lack of parking. I don't care to learn the reason but there was one. Guess what the reason will be for your next move... just because you grew up somewhere doesn't give you the right to live there forever...

I'm neither mean nor being a bully. I don't believe you know the definition of either, just as you have no idea what the definition of hypocrite is.

People move all the time. An elderly person leaves their walk-up apartment for one with an elevator because the stairs become too hard. Commuting to a job becomes harder in one location and thus someone moves to become closer. People get married and have children and move to be in an area with a good school district.

Nothing ever stays the same. Complaining about the change that is coming is merely spitting in the wind. You can either accept what is coming and embrace it or get out of the way of it and go somewhere that is more amenable.

Maybe you can look into North Arlington or Nutley. Those places have parking and every new development must include it. You'd be able to go everywhere and not worry about finding a spot since they all have lots.

Besides, you've moved once before. Why is it so crazy to think about moving again?

Just because most people think you're wrong 99% of the time, doesn't make everyone a bully.

Why would I say you are right about something you are so close minded about? As has been pointed out by more than just myself on more threads than this, parking and the push for it is as antiquated as a floppy drive.

You live in a City. It's dense. You want parking? Get out.

The AMC in Manhattan has about 5 parking spots for the whole building.

As I said before: Get on board or get out of the way. It's your choice. The more you keep beating the ridiculous "I need parking" drum the more you look like this:

In Yvonne's twisted view of a city's future, this is what she would want/expect: Downtown Areas Decimated by Parking Lots, as Seen from Above.

How about, instead of building more parking lots, the city builds a clear, easy to understand webpage that explains how to get to this building from different parts of the city via transit? That would certainly save a lot of tax dollars. We've actually been laying the groundwork for building maps like this through OpenJC. Here's what happens when you make a city all about cars: https://twitter.com/woolie/status/497218754858602496/photo/1 Plenty of people here have them but use them only occasionally -- they prefer to walk, bike or take mass transit whenever possible, but have a job or family located somewhere that requires driving. Nothing about that makes them a hypocrite. I grew up in an area where you had to have a car to go anywhere at all, and I'll take a more robust public transit system over more parking any day.

No, it doesn't make me a hypocrite. When I choose to travel somewhere that doesn't not have very good parking, I plan alternate transit. If I drive out west or visit family elsewhere, sometimes I need to drive, not always.

You are choosing to travel to a location that doesn't have parking and then bemoaning the inconvenience. If it is so inconvenient, don't go. I find parking downtown to be quite unbearable. As such, I never drive downtown. Problem solved!

You have taxis/uber that can drop you off in front of wherever you want to go in the city. You don't physically need to park. If you can't afford the taxi fare, then I suggest moving out.

The city is moving in the direction of the rest of urban civilization: far less dependence on the automobile. Either get on board or get the heck out of the way because you're only slowing progress.

Yes. People, myself included, own and use cars. To say that people only use cars is absurd and that is your entire argument.

My lord, you are obsessed with parking. You live in an urban city. That means that cars are more optional. There are buses that will take you to this location. And, not for nothing, but I happen to think that the city would be extremely stupid if they decide your personal convenience is the number one factor in development.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ ... _households_without_a_car

This info paints a clear picture that Jersey City is one of the top 5 (it's #3 in fact) cities with households without a car. When I talk Jersey City, I don't talk downtown vs JSQ vs Greenville. It's one big city.

Not saying that there isn't a need for parking in certain locations, I'm just pointing out that you may not realize how few people actually have cars in this city. It's all about the percentages. Maybe you need to reconsider where you live, as this city may not be conducive to your driving culture.

OF COURSE THERE IS NO LIGHTRAIL WHERE YOU LIVE! YOU USED TO LIVE WHERE THERE WAS LIGHTRAIL SERVICE BUT CHOSE TO SELL YOUR HOME AND MOVE TO AN AREA WHERE THERE WAS NONE. IN FACT THERE IS A THREAD ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF TRANSPORTATION. IN FACT THE WHOLE WEST SIDE OF JERSEY CITY, BAYONNE, HOBOKEN, ETC HAS NO ACCESS TO THIS SERVICE. I BET IF WE LOOKED WE WOULD FIND A THREAD WHERE YOU BITCHED AND BELLYACHED ABOUT THE LIGHTRAIL GOING THROUGH THE PRISTINE NEIGHBORHOODS YOU USED TO SKULK ABOUT LOOKING TO SEE WHAT EVIL YOU COULD MAKE OUT OF BRET SWEEPING HIS SIDEWALK.

I have been looking over area maps and cannot find one town in a 10 mile radius that would meet your lofty expectations. I bet you will find something wrong with Heaven when you and St. Peter are mulling things over at the Gate.

Have you been to County Plaza, dtjcview, the former Block Property? The building in underutilized. Some people have offices that are over 1,000 square feet. The building is too large. It has plenty of parking, we should be using that site. It is near Montgomery St. which means it is also close to the bus system.


Yes I've been there a few times. Most recently to file a tax appeal. And it's also a waste of space. Why shouldn't the county sell or lease that property too and move to the hub? Close to transport - you're kidding, right? MLK has the buses AND light rail. County Plaza could easily become Beacon II.
