"high" is relative. It's your judgment, not a fact.

They should consider buying? Why? Again, how can you possibly advise someone to make such a major financial decision such as buying without knowing their current financial situation and long-term goals?

Financial planner, you are not.

Re: Inappropriate use of Jersey City Police at Hoboken's Lepri-con Bar Crawl

Hello,

I am a Jersey City Homeowner, and property tax payer, and I was very dismayed to read on NJ.com that Jersey City sent many of our finest police officers, including our elite K9 force featuring Froto...

To police NOT HERE IN JERSEY CITY, but to baby sit and issue $2,000 tickets for Hoboken's Leper-con festival this past Saturday.

This comes just a few days after we were promised more police presence being on patrol in HERE Jersey City... at the show and tell the Mayor and police held at city hall just last week.

So what do they do first? They send Jersey City finest to the town next door. WTF.

I don't think that is a good use of my taxpayer money. I think Froto should be sniffing for bombs and fighting terrorism or what not... not patrolling a bunch of Irish twenty-something yuppie drunkards in a town that isn't Jersey City.

Sure if Hoboken had a VERIFIED EMERGENCY SITUATION... yes by all means, send JC first responders and police and emergency folks.

BUT FOR A GLORIFIED SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT AKA BAR CRAWL IN HOBOKEN? NO.

I hope Jersey City gets reimbursed by hoboken for this. And no more sending our cops out to baby-sit others in other towns for festivals or private social engagements.

What do you think?

FG


Your mistake is assuming that you're paying taxes in order for services that benefit you. In reality, it's simply exortion - they force you to pay and they do what they want with the money.

Looks like they have closed the Hoboken and Newark branches as well.

I was wondering if anyone else has petitioned them to re-open JSQ? The sign says to contact: HSBC Licensing Manager, Office of the Comptroller of Currency, Northeastern District Office, 340 Madison Ave, 5th floor, New York NY 10017.

2. Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes.

4. Dazed, stunned, or stupefied.
5. Pointless; worthless: a stupid job.


Idiocy and stupid is still only your subjective reality - it's certainly not truth.

As for the violence, yes, they did make money off of the punch, however, that's part of the reality show gig, eh? Showing what might happen on camera. It's hardly the same as supporting violence. They didn't paint the puncher as any kind of a positive character, either. You took away from the scene that he was a douchebag.

#1) For a person who hates to defend S&J, you sure do that A LOT in your post.

Fine. Tell me how you can park in a red zone by accident? Please do, because we all learn when we get our licenses that a curb painted red means you cannot park there, EVER. Every zone I've seen painted red or yellow has a No Parking sign.

The only thing I can see how you may accidentally park in a yellow zone is when the sign says no parking on school days. Other than that, most yellow zones are the areas that are painted on the end of a street, with No Parking signs on them.

Also, if a half drunken, half naked, stumbling idiot came into your store and drove away your customers - you have every right to kick them out. Actually, it would be COMMON SENSE. What's the difference between my hypothetical "customer" and snooki and jwwow? I would rather have my hypothetical person take care of my children.

In any case, whichever store they "work in", I will personally start a boycott of the store. And try to gather community support. Anyone who supports this trash wants a JC that is not conducive to development, business, and families.


The Newark gov't is just embarassing themselves. First, who said Snooki wants to go there, anyway? Second, Snooki is the least of their problems.

"...and the potential downside is God knows what..."

You my friend will never get my business again. If you don't let people in based on what they are portrayed on in a tv show, then you should perform background checks on every patron that comes in. There is a park around the corner where drug deals go on 24/7, and I've seen those people go in that store and come out with liquor. You really need a reality check pal. A real reality check, not an MTV one.


Absolutely correct. This effete snob will let you stand at the counter with your thumb up your *** waiting to check out if he's discussing a wine with another patron. After this crap, I'm done with that place too. Also, I just discovered that the little liquor store on Grove north of Newark has MUCH better prices.


My girlfriend and I said the same thing. It's one thing to refuse camera crews, but it's another to refuse an individual. This is Jersey City, NOT the segregated SOUTH!! I'll walk a few extra blocks to get a bottle of wine.


I'm with MrJohnson, BeachGuy and ProgressJC on this one.

To further cite the article "TMZ spoke to the GM at the wine shop ... who tells us, "Even if Jwoww shows up at our front door she will not be let in."

He adds, "The only thing they are good for is ridicule and amusement. "

I mean, seriously, what's with the shop owner's holier than thou attitude? If he put up a sign that said "No Camera Crews" that would be one thing (because that could disrupt his business), but to actually ban someone based on what he's seen on TV and turn away the business is just plain silly.

Oh, and what is with the comment about "some other judgy (?) wine stores around town that look at you funny if you buy wine and vodka at the same time." huh? That's a new one to me. I've bought wine in stores in Jersey City and elsewhere, never had anything remotely like that happen, they're all just happy to make a sale and take my money.

If anything, the wine store that chooses to ban Snooki and Jwoww is the one being "judgy", whatever the hell that means.


I like how they are banning Snookie and JWoww for character reasons and then go on the record with a classy organization like TMZ.

I hope you get your ant hill dream world but if you don't want to wait you should move to Flushing, Queens. As Yoda might say "An urban planner you are not".


And what difference does that make? Seems like you're drawing an arbitrary line that says how many people should live here. And that line conveniently allows you to live here as well. If population growth is a problem, you're part of them problem, too.

That would be fine with me since filming benefits very few actual residents. When six 23 year olds are running around with video cameras at 2am trying to document these two geniuses then you will grasp what I am saying. Like most young "filmmakers" they will simply incorporate the cops into their shoot. "Oh well, we got busted but we got it all on film".

Second - The strip club analogy is a bad one, BUT I would have no problem with a strip club opening on Newark Ave. If you don't like strip clubs, Don't go in there? I don't live in a city and expect it to be a sleepy, sheltered little town? If I wanted that, I'd pack up and move to the suburbs. I think a better example is: I'm not gay. Gay people don't "represent my lifestyle". But I'm not trying to run THEM out of town. If someone wanted to film a show about a gay couple living in JC, I wouldn't care. These girls don't Look like you? They Don't act the way you do, and you want to run them out of town?You want to boycott businesses they go to???? That is some straight up RACIST talk. Corruption in City hall? It's government, it's corrupt at all levels. Esp, in NJ. We deal with it. NEWS FLASH* If you're one of the people who just moved into one of the new developments?We didn't want you here either. Jersey City was/is/will be VERY different than that dreamy real esate brochure made it seem. And No one is trying to kick you out. WHY? Because Jersey City isn't Hoboken. Jersey CIty is diverse and accepting of everybody?or at least it used to be. JC does NOT have a good reputation to folks outside of Jersey City. THAT IS WHY it's even more important for us NOT to be dicks when a national tv show wants to film here. We have a chance to correct it. If you don't like the show or the girls?Ignore them. But going out of your way to "Protest" and create all this fuss to shut them down?It's wrong, and is just going to make us look bad. Get over yourselves.


I don't care if you're blue, white, yellow, alien, black, straight, gay, transgendered, confused, etc - If you care for the place you live in then I'll be welcoming of you. This is a community and only communities survive and prosper in the long run.

I've lived here for more than 25 years and yes - I'm trying to get into one of those waterfront condos. Since I've been here so long, I'll let you know the best thing that ever happened to JC is gentrification - with those yuppies and working professionals moving into those condos. I remember walking on newark ave 15 years when I was young and was literally scared for my life at times. The thieves, criminals, drunks who inhabited those streets have since dwindled down. But YOU want to bring all of them back. Bring on the strip club, let's invite those two homeless people (one with the bjs cart and his lady friend and have a whole show about it) let's bring back all those thieves and criminals. Please...

Do I have issues with tax abatements? YES. Do I have issues with the corruption in city hall? YES

Do I have issue with 7 million people watching JC being made a mockery of and creating the image JC is full of "guidos" and "guidettes" who only value "GTL" - YES.

I don't know what the show is about but if you believe this will be even remotely educational, you have never seen an mtv reality tv show...

At the end of the day, you want this city to decay and many of us here do not!

"oh come on, you're so worried about a few girls in bikinis that you don't care at all about the corruption in city hall!"

For Brian Em and Mr Johnson, reputation, dignity, and respect have no meaning.

I wish Dawn Zimmer was our mayor...

I am against the corruption in city hall AND the jersey shore destroying JC's reputation. That isn't a hard concept to understand right? I can be against both right?

If JC's reputation isn't great, Jersey Shore won't make it any better. You understand that concept right? Unless you think those two girls and MTV making a mockery of JC is a good thing? Oh yeah, I forgot - you think they are going to do a political show which educates Americans...


First off, YOU have no idea what their show is about. It's not the whole cast, so I'm thinking it's not going to be like Jersey Shore. Maybe the are trying to grow up...

Do your homework before condemning something, they are shooting for six weeks. It seems pretty lightweight?no big film crew.

Second - The strip club analogy is a bad one, BUT I would have no problem with a strip club opening on Newark Ave. If you don't like strip clubs, Don't go in there? I don't live in a city and expect it to be a sleepy, sheltered little town? If I wanted that, I'd pack up and move to the suburbs.

I think a better example is: I'm not gay. Gay people don't "represent my lifestyle". But I'm not trying to run THEM out of town. If someone wanted to film a show about a gay couple living in JC, I wouldn't care.

These girls don't Look like you? They Don't act the way you do, and you want to run them out of town?You want to boycott businesses they go to???? That is some straight up RACIST talk.

Corruption in City hall? It's government, it's corrupt at all levels. Esp, in NJ. We deal with it.

NEWS FLASH*
If you're one of the people who just moved into one of the new developments?We didn't want you here either. Jersey City was/is/will be VERY different than that dreamy real esate brochure made it seem. And No one is trying to kick you out.

WHY? Because Jersey City isn't Hoboken. Jersey CIty is diverse and accepting of everybody?or at least it used to be.

JC does NOT have a good reputation to folks outside of Jersey City. THAT IS WHY it's even more important for us NOT to be dicks when a national tv show wants to film here. We have a chance to correct it.

If you don't like the show or the girls?Ignore them. But going out of your way to "Protest" and create all this fuss to shut them down?It's wrong, and is just going to make us look bad.

Get over yourselves.


This!

Who said it's all completely real? Who thinks any reality tv show is completely real?
