I really don't mean to put a damper on your enthusiasm, but you may want to consider a few things before you pack so quickly:

1. Ask about the remediation plan for the site. What toxic substances used to be on that building site, and how did the developer clear them out?

2. Hang out and do a personal impact study on the industrial site across the street from you. Is there dust, noise, truck traffic going to impact your quality of life? I believe it is a recycling plant of some sort - used to be when I lived nearby, but maybe that has changed.

3. Despite the incredible renderings on their site, http://www.theclifflofts.com/, that building is extremely close to the very busy roadway that is next to the light rail. (Noise, car fumes, patient JC/Hoboken drivers who use their horns ever so sparingly - and I jest) etc.

4. What security offerings do they have? The serpentine road in back of your site (that looks like it may not be there anymore?) that connected Hoboken to JC Heights has been the site of at least one murder and a few stabbings. There is gang activity in that area, too - it's just two blocks from the lovely Franklin Avenue section of the Heights.

I wish you luck - and good luck to the developer, too. It was nice to see that old brick facade finally brought back to life. I hope they can make it work.

Face facts, JC. Schundler is a Republican and a social conservative. Not someone I would want to see as mayor let alone governor.

BillC you are without doubt a most arrogant and pompous piece of $hit:

? makes places like this work?? ????? ? you are moving into one of the most desirable neighborhoods in all of Jersey City --- where million dollar + townhouses are the norm ? and everything is at your doorstep including a 8 - 10 block walk to the PATH ? get your head out of you?re a$$

?residents vs non residents? ---this neighborhood was here long before you leaked out of someone?s nose. It is you who are the non-resident and it you who had better learn how to work with your neighbors

?? it is not practical for us to offer that service to you ?? who asked you to offer it ? someone said it would be nice to have ? most of us love the walk ?. Perhaps it will not be practical for us ?non-resident? Hamilton Park residents to shop in what promise to be your up-and-coming overpriced stores ?

perhaps we "non-resident" residents will not be happy with the increased traffic these shuttles will bring and where will they park while they are waiting for the "complex residents?"

Better yet, we ?non-resident? Hamilton Park residents should take down the license plate numbers of everyone of you ?residents? who will be parking on our streets and make serious noise to everyone in the City counsel and in the Mayor?s office about homeowners/tax payers? lack of street-side parking spaces.

Perhaps you should not be on a ?board.? A Board position requires diplomacy and people skills. You appear to have neither.

yeah, comparing NYC to JC, why that would be like comparing a mayor who's been seriously considered for a presidential run to one who's been face down and cuffed for disorderly conduct in a bar parking lot.

aggravated assault

The guy ought to lose his license

The 2nd Amendment does not mention self-defense as being the reason the right exists.
