Yeah I heard about the mineral scale problems in hard water areas. But like you mentioned I also thought scaling might not be that big of a problem for downtown JC residents.

Has anybody switched from a traditional electric hot water heater tank to a tank-less, gas powered, hot water heater?
When my current electric hot water heater breaks down I am thinking of making the switch to a gas powered tank-less model to save space and money. I am wondering if anybody else has already made that switch.

Yet Fulop sees no problem filing a $400m lawsuit against the Port Authority because of his complaint that the Port Authority is not paying enough in property taxes to JC as per the tax abatement agreement between the city and the Port Authority. That's rich.

You already humor me with you misreading my post and interpreting me as saying that the Koran is the same as the Confederate Flag. What I said was that people burn the Koran for reasons that are similar to the reasons that they are now burning the Confederate Flag.

It's so sad how many people around here completely agree with people making a spectacle of themselves by burning the Confederate Flag and at the same time would be the first to criticize somebody who wanted make a spectacle of burning the Koran for similar reasons. Just dumb, dumb, dumb.

Please. If I had a nickel for every time somebody or some group ran around screaming like Chicken Little whenever something impacts how people travel around the NYC area I'd have about $.30.
Honestly, there have been numerous times over the last 20 years where people run around saying how the sky is going to fall in regards to local travel every time there is a discussion about improvements being made to existing infrastructure or additional buildings being built. And every time the worst case scenarios predicted have never come to fruition because the dire predictions were tremendously overblown. I see no reason to think this time will be different.

That's just a cop out from answering the question posed about any official or unofficial policy regarding the publishing of a person's race in JJ articles. While yes it may in fact be the responsibility of the editors to determine what gets published they surely provide feedback to you from time to time so that they have to make fewer edits in the future. What does that feedback indicate when it comes to the posed policy question vis-?-vis race reporting.

Plenty of Democrats have donated to Steven Fulop, a Democrat the last time I looked. They don't seem to have a problem with his racist (and sexist) views:
From June 24, 2014 Wall Street Journal article: Says Fulop - "I'm not all that excited about a train ride with hundreds of predominantly white males," he said. "But it's something you need to do."

Good for Cami!!! Given how ungrateful Newark and its children have been regarding her efforts it's about time she said sayonara to them all. Let that city stew in its own filthy education system while Cami takes her talents elsewhere. I'm happy for her. And I'm happy for Newark too. That city absolutely should get the crappy education system it deserves. Cami would have just stood in the way of that.

That's just a dumb, dumb statement. What would really happen is: 1) We would have to pay higher wages to entice the remaining people that want to work as babysitter/nannies to do so. Essentially the minimum wage would be naturally raised instead of artificially raised by the government. 2) there is rampant slow service in restaurants as it is. Illegal immigrants don't ensure prompt service. 3) We will still have food deliveries if we want to pay more for it. Again the minimum wage would be naturally raised. 4) Same logic applies to having to cleaning my own home. And there is nothing impossible about doing it myself. 5) If I don't want to pay $6 per head for lettuce I'll buy something cheaper. And the best part is the reduction in my Medicare taxes will be applied to any of these extra costs I voluntarily choose to pay. That's the correct long sighted view......

Honestly, in my mind, I DON'T believe that the companies will lower the price of fuel to accommodate the shortening of labor. At least not in a dollar-for-dollar fashion. But are you so dumb that you think we, meaning the gas purchasing public, ARE NOT paying for that unnecessary labor right now? Because that would be the real idiotic position. It stands to reason that if the cost of the wasteful labor goes away then we, the gas purchasing public, would at least have our money funneled to more worthwhile functions.

"Gargantuan Tower"? Come on. Save the hyperbole for your mama-bole.
If I had a nickel for every time somebody shouted how the sky is falling when a developer proposes such out of the norm construction I'd have..........about $2.00. Seriously though- it's always a shock to see these proposals. However once they are built everyone just adapts to it, moves on and prospers. People should learn more from recent history/ experience and cut the chicken little BS.

I think I'm going to start my own al fresco dining experience in the park. Since it seems perfectly OK for other people to exploit the free space so that they can make some income then I might as well do that too. I'm going to commandeer an area of the park with chairs and tables and sell food and soft drinks to people that want it. Yeah that would be great. Maybe I'll just takeover the gazebo to serve food since apparently people can use any space they want to in the park to generate their own business income.
