...As much as she believes parents and educators play a critical role in helping young kids rise in society, Flood sees the need for city government to play an active part. ?We need to try to provide more affordable housing for their parents."

?MIT's CityCar doesn't aim to replace the automobile or the subway, so much as to fill a niche somewhere between private vehicles and public transportation.?

The victim -- whose first name is Manuel -- refused to answer further questions from police, reports said.

Is there such a crime of promoting gambling? I have been saying that gambling should be legal for a few times on this board - was that a crime?

Yesterday, reputed mob capo Michael "Mikey Lance" Lancellotti, 45, and alleged soldier Anthony Nicodemo, 36, both of Philadelphia, were charged with conspiracy to promote gambling.

People ought to know that, if they're going to sell drugs on a quiet residential sidewalk in Jersey City, someone is at least going to yell at them and issue tickets from time to time. In other words: it ought to be tougher to sell heroin on the sidewalk here than it is for a bagel place to get permission to let people eat bagels at outside tables.

The idea that it's almost as hard for Subia's to have open air dining as it is for dealers to deal a few yards around the corner is intolerable.

were charged with ... possession of gambling records

If the city gets a grip on crime downtown and along the water, and sea levels stay reasonable, then real estate here will end up doing reasonably well

There's nothing I hate more than unreasonable sea levels. If the sea wants to be seen as a reliable partner in Jersey City's development, I think it should pick a level and stick with it. If the sea can't hold up its end of the bargain, we should call in the Army Corps of Engineers and start building levees. I hear those boys do good work.

When high sea levels result in sewage in your apartment, sea levels get your serious attention, not a chuckle. The city is already in the process of reducing property values by reconsidering C of O's for garden apartments.
