I am sure it won't be all increase, it would be cuts too. That is how it should be. Eliminating some wasteful agencies would be a good start.

I agree, the lack of communication is clearly an issue. PA clearly does not run PATH as other professionally managed public transportation systems. I have been riding PATH for the past 7 years, so I am willing to be patient while they make the service upgrades that will result in better service in the future.

They are clearly saying that the reduction in service is to make necessary repairs post-sandy. Why is it so hard for people to get it?

When Gregory Glinsey was fatally shot while buying ice for his mother?s 80th birthday party, the emotional toll on his family was incalculable. The immediate price to the public was $800 for his autopsy.

All told, shootings cost Chicago $2.5 billion a year, or about $2,500 per household, according to Jens Ludwig, director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab. Many of those costs are intangibles, Ludwig said, like keeping people from going outside or letting their children walk to school. Reducing even a fraction of the carnage, though, would free up more money than the city expects to save each year from the closing of 49 elementary schools approved yesterday by the school board.

Dopeness you are welcome to JC. I will def give it a try. I think the name is pretty cool!

Look at "white persons, not Hispanic" number.

Quote:

These kids should know that NJ would soon have whites in the minority. So they should get used to seeing leaders who don't look like them.

This is from the Star Ledger endorsement of Fulop:
"The same goes for Newark mayor Cory Booker, whose endorsement of Healy is no doubt based on his own self-serving political calculus."

When Booker endorsed Healy, he put his own interests over the residents of JC. People of JC should remember this in any future election involving Booker.

A Jersey City man was charged with criminal sexual contact after a client said he groped her breast during a massage at a Jersey City spa, police said.

The man, Jeffery Moore, 49, of Jersey City, made his first appearance in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City this afternoon on a single charge of criminal sexual contact.

Fulop vs Booker

Frank Pallone?s jabs notwithstanding, most insiders believe Booker will succeed U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ).

Now, with Fulop potentially usurping Booker?s role as the next party star, Booker may have to run for president from the Senate rather than contend with Fulop for governor.

Steve Fulop can?t escape gubernatorial politics

Ward A : Frank Gajewski
Ward B : Esther Wintner
Ward C : Richard Boggiano
Ward D : Michael Yun
Ward E : Candice Osborne
Ward F : Diane Coleman
At Large : Fulop's slate

Jersey Journal endorsement

Most of the interlopers work in the city and they are more likely to be not on this forum. IMO More campaigning should be done outside the PATH stations during peak hours in morning and evening.

They are trying to correct the mistakes of the past by sending more money into these countries.

Yes we can! :D

?There are people in the Newport section who get on the train each morning and go to Wall Street to work and they think their mayor is Bloomberg,? a source told Politicker.com. ?If you took them out of one of their sheer towers, blindfolded them and dropped them off a handful of blocks from their home, they would have no idea where they are.?

Steve Fulop and the Ward E question

This is a once in a lifetime chance to fix JC. You may disagree with Fulop on a few issues, but please vote. He needs a strong DT vote, otherwise we all know what would happen. Reval or not, Mayor will raise your taxes anyways and they would not go towards anything useful, but filling the pockets of a few people.

You cannot go by the name, can you?

Local and state business leaders were not surprised to see Jersey City rank sixth in the nation in U-Haul?s recent Top U.S. Growth Cities Report for 2012, up from 29th in 2011.

Jersey city place of growth

You can consider Secaucus. It's the most suburban of all towns in Hudson county. You can drive into the city via Lincoln, which I fin better than Holland traffic-wise. And you can easily get onto the turnpike for southbound travel.

A lot of minority vote (which otherwise would have gone to the mayor) will go to Walker.

Earlier this month we asked you: What is the worst parking crater in America? What is the ugliest parking scar draining the life from a downtown?

Thanks to reader Will Wittenberg for sending in this bird?s-eye-view:

Will writes of his submission:

Once?an industrial area, it has been redeveloped over the last 10 years with high end residential and only one stop outside downtown/financial district NYC. Jersey City as a whole very much resembles Brooklyn with parks and brownstones. This area, however, is very sterile, lacks pedestrian activity and street life.

Parking Madness

We are already done with th TJ rumour.

Now how about a Dean and Deluca rumour?

It can be fake, this has happened before:

Whole Foods false banner

I wish it's not fake though.

With home values in downtown and heights on the upward trend, I do not understand why it is taking so long for JSQ to turn around?

What is for real?

The company was slated to officially break ground today at the future Pulaski Distribution Center, a facility along the Hackensack River that will have nearly 900,000 square feet of space. And it's celebrating the milestone with two major tenants firmly in hand, Peapod, a subsidiary of food retailer Ahold USA, and Imperial Bag & Paper Co.

New industrial facility

Bill is correct. It's a big hassle to drive around Hoboken then DTJC. Plus we have super highways as you and others have mentioned. Plus Hoboken has much better bike infrastructure than JC. I have only seen bike lanes on Grove so far. Apart from that we should have some stop signs on Erie to make that area more pedestrian friendly. While walking, I am most afraid of the folks from the suburbs who work in those office towers.

The endorsement is to let all the bull sh*t that goes on that stretch of Newark Ave (little India) to continue. People should be ticketed over there so they stop parking their cars anywhere they want to. But the current administration does not do anything about it.
