"I think a certain amount of a smaller types of tree should be mandatory per block and anyone that elects to have a tree planted on their property would be entiteled to some sort of tax abatement."
Although you probably got Yvonne fuming over the mention of abatements, I totally agree. Rutherford actually has a law that for every tree that is taken down, a new one must be planted. We need a law like this in JC. Our condo association actually purchased our two trees because we didn't know the city could plant them at a lesser cost. Now I can actually tell what season it is when I look out of my window. It's unbelievable how many people live here that hate anything that's alive. Trees, squirrels, pigeons, crickets, dogs...etc. To me, these are essentials that make a town "livable".

7 bikers? That's a pretty small biker gang. Next time they show up, go downstairs and kick some ass, we got your back. Let us know how it works out.[/quote] Perhaps I can go tip all their bikes while they're inside the bar getting shitfaced like peewee did. The more mature thing to do would be to ask their address so I can shoot some fireworks in front of their door on a monday night.

Seven bikes pulled up in front of lucky 7's at midnight on Friday night simultaneously...loud as f*ck. This happens weekly now. Is there anything that can be done about this? I doubt it.

Yea, blame the teachers' tenures, not the fact that some kids that go to our schools are total failures along with their parents. One has to want to learn in order to be taught something. Urban schools in NJ are held to more stringent rules and regulations then any other schools. The curriculum is practically spoon fed to the students. A friend of mine teaches at a high school in East Orange. Her students aren't allowed to use rulers, because they'll use them to "joust". Books need to be kept on a shelf away from the students because they will hit each other over the head with them. Those books are only taken out for reading specific paragraphs. In order to present new information, she has to engage the multiple intelligences based on Gardner's theories. And guess what, despite her hard work and following all the rules mandated by the state, the kids are still failing standardized tests. Simply put, they are losers. They don't give a crap about their teachers or the society they live in. But, of course, its all our fault.

I found a baby squirrel last year on 3rd and coles (random since there aren't any tall trees in that area) So I trapped it and brought it over to van vorst, it ran up a tree immediately so hopefully he was okay and survived. Nice to see other people care about these critters.

"You're right about that. JC will never have any nightlife because people here think they live in the suburbs where all you should here at night is crickets. And then they turn around and complain that they have to go into the city to go out."
You guys are far outnumbered by either professionals who would rather sleep at night then hear your talent shows or the old timers to whom your music isn't relevant at all. It's one thing if a band had some following and filled the venue, but each time I pass lucky 7's or the lampost the bands there are playing to their 2 friends, mom and girlfriend. Why? Because they are shitty bands who couldn't score a gig at a bigger venue in the city. Your "scene" here is very incestuous, constantly the same people rehashing everything from the good old days of when JC was "cool". There's the handlebar guy, the hairdressers from balance, that leon trotsky character that makes weird lamps and that dude from gallery 64. On any given night, you will see at least one of these characters diligently "supporting" the "scene". Grow the eff up, get a real job and let people sleep on weekdays instead of creating contrived environments for picking up your next lay.

"Dog owners are A-holes but 175lb. "kids" on 50lb. bikes doing stunts just steps away from 30lb. toddlers is acceptable? Stupidest post yet."
Actually, if I had to side with any of these groups, it would be pet owners. SOME pet owners are assholes. To let your dog sh*t on flowers/shrubs someone volunteered to plant is a scumbag move. As for the skaters, yes, they should have their own area just as the precious toddlers. Since there are more skaters living around HP then basketball players, perhaps there needs to be a substitution made. Build a halfpipe in place of the basketball court.

"The government, isn't doing its residents a "favor" by re-doing the park."
Actually, I think they are doing us residents a huge favor. For such a large park it was a disgrace compared to VVP. No grass left from all the dogs running amuck. Some people were nice enough to get an organized planting day, but the asshole dog owners proceeded to walk their dogs in the nice islands of plants anyway. Kid people bitched enough about the skateboarders to have those hideous fences around the playground put up to protect their offspring. (Or as someone else once put it - "crotchfruit") Since all "us residents" have equal rights, then shouldn't the skateboarders have a designated area as well? Just like the basketball and the tennis people? Either way, this park definitely needs better organization. And to all you people bitching about this being done in warmer months, I hope you are a builder/landscaper/electrician in your next life and only get hired to do winter jobs.

So its cool when people who live in projects are milking the system, since you suggest they live better then most? Not that this is any news to me. I lived in Ivy Hill, Newark as a kid so I've seen plenty of people driving around in beamers and paying for food with welfare checks. (When the tables turn and the system takes advantage of the poor you'll be the first one to cry about it I'm sure.) Housing projects were designed to get people on their feet, they aren't meant to be permanent living. Having a pet is a luxury for the responsible, working class people. Pay Liberty Humane Society a visit, perhaps walk one of the many pits while you're at it. Somehow I doubt they ended up being abandoned or abused by people from the brownstones downtown.

If you live in a housing project, you shouldn't be able to have a pet at all. Not for the sake of the residents, but the well-being of the animal. If an owner is too broke to provide for themselves, other creatures shouldn't have to suffer.

Out of the nine murders that we've had this year, JerseyCityNJ, most went down in Greenville. Along with some random gang activity in the heights. I would much prefer to walk down the street alone at night on Jersey Ave instead of JFK on MLK Blvd. Simple as that.

Don't be so bitter that downtown has a lower crime rate Yahoo. Those of you who live in sh*ttier areas of JC seem to gloat every time something bad happens here. And then you bitch that we have no sense of community and a feeling of "disconnectedness" between hoods. Could it possibly be JEALOUSY?! Because you could drop a few extra bucks to live with us downtown. Lets face it, IT IS nicer here.

"The thing is, Taqueria acts like they are doing you a favor when you eat there." That's why I'm not going to eat there anymore.
Especially since they turn their noses when you ask for pico de gallo. Eff you and your pretentiously bland tacos.
