I have to agree with Yvonne, I know of people who were lucky to get the last parking space in high rise buildings with .8 (ratio) parking. Let us agree that parking is at a premium for most of us in JC, especially in mid and high rises) that were not built with 1:1 parking. I will not even mention low-rise brownstones with multiple units and no parking. If more families (priced out of NYC) are moving into JC or if new and old residents who work hours and places in JC where there is unsafe or no public transportation, then this is a quality of life issue which must be taken into consideration. I envy your situation moobycow in which there is excess parking in your building and wish it were mine, but as I trudge through snow and ice to reach my partially covered space- I count myself lucky to at least have off-street parking. I think our government has to take into consideration the reality of all our residents and provision of 1:1 off-street parking in new developments is necessary not only for residents but for commercial interests that are usually situated on the ground floors of these development. Witness the furor over parking for a restaurant in Hamilton Park http://jclist.com/modules/newbb/viewt ... eywords=Silverman+parking

As a former resident of Toronto which has a walkable downtown, with lots of green space , but also an amazingly efficient and comprehensive mass transit system of subways, trolleys and buses, as well as ample parking garages and spaces for residents, I would applaud a system like that.
But Jersey City lacks affordable housing (downtown as Toronto did when I lived there) and definitely lacks a comprehensive, efficient and safe mass transit system. If Fulop's plans include these last mentioned elements, then go for it.

Carepoint also owns Christ Hospital and Hoboken University Medical Center (old St. Mary's Hospital)
See CarePoint Health brings together three Hudson County hospitals: Bayonne Medical Center, Christ Hospital in Jersey City; and Hoboken University Medical Center. http://www.carepointhealth.org/our-hospitals/ Sort of scary. Must say, I called an ambulance (JCMC) for a friend during the blizzard, they came quickly and were wonderful. I would be extremely upset if they changed ambulance providers to McCabe.

Re: Jersey City mayor-elect orders end to citywide reval

ditto.
In all the local Ward E community meetings, I attended over the years, Councilman Fulop always told us this is a necessary thing and it would happen. Even if he, as mayor, disagreed with the company and methods in which the reval inspections were conducted, surely there is some way to allow for challenges if there were improprieties. Also, I was under the impression that the year 2009 was to be taken as the property value year, so that the recent uptick in prices would not affect it. If we have a base year ( 2009), then as properties come on line, one would think that if revals would take place more often than every 26 years, as in the past, and the newer/improved properties are put into the mix, then the tax rate would be adjusted to a fair, realistic one for all property owners. ( Is that how it works?) Are abated properties part of this? I believe not. Quote:

Steve- Do something to remedy the Two Jersey Cities. This is the quote fom the article that resonated with me:
"I find there are two Jersey Cities. There's the very wealthy people and then there's everybody else, who aren't so wealthy," said Kim Wiseman, a 47-year-old who moved from New York 10 years ago. She added that the mayor "has to create jobs, create affordable housing for people who don't make over $100,000 a year."

I have heard that NYC developers face very stringent requirements and regulations when applying for abatements.
Surely abatements in Gold Coast neighborhoods should be directly ties to on-site provision of affordable rate units similar to the 80-20 rate found in NYC. Quote:

Why don't they amend the deal to have the 99 units, but the increased units will all have to be at affordable rates!
I can't see why if developers want abatements they can't include on-site affordable units. ( Remember affordable doesn't mean "welfare" it means middle class people making middle class wages.) Considering the traffic situation in the Grove area, the parking requirements should stand. If the developers don't like it, then stick to the original abatement plan.

There should be a three-way stop at the corner of Monmouth & 10th. dtjcview wrote: [snip] There should really be one at Monmouth & Pavonia or 9/10th. Pavonia is 2-way, it's the main connection between HP and Enos Jones parks for foot and bicycle traffic, plus there a lot of Atrium visitors and ambulances pulling out at 9th. Monmouth and 10th is an accident blackspot - the one-way changes to a 2-way in all directions, and the dip on Monmouth creates blind-spots for traffic on 10th. [snip]
