"On restaurants: "What we?re looking to do now is change the capacity inside, so that tables are far apart, bars spaces are far apart ? that would entail a reduction of 40 to 50% ... of maximum capacity. We?re going to try to offset some of that ... by expanding outdoor seating, ... where possible to take away parking spaces. ... ?People don?t like losing parking, but if your are trading off keeping a business in the neighborhood, that?s a worthwhile tradeoff.? Haha, so the NAs lose even when they should have a win. Less parking for more outdoor seating? Win win. Maybe we get more permanent pedestrian areas because of this.

This is certainly one of Yvonne?s minions that she summoned from the depths of NIMBY hell.

Not only that, it would add to the ratable tax base too. The only thing acceptable to these morons would be a Bayonne box with a driveway cutout.

Good riddance, that entire block was an eyesore and the residents seemed more than happy with buyouts of their dilapidated housing. This segregated block will finally be reintegrated with the city. Of course Yvonne and the HPNA are trying to rally their usual band of NIMBY idiots against it.

This seems like a win-win for all parties involved. - The city pays nothing to acquire the land, sparing the city budget. - The developer still gets to build something, two towers in already very high density part of Downtown, which will not be abated and will pay full taxes. - The city gets to exit endless litigation and focus on building a new park which will also attract more visitors and tourists into JC to spend $. Of course none of this will satisfy Yvonne and her NIMBY minions and they are likely to hold up for another 15 years with frivolous lawsuits of their own.

Yvonne is going into snowflake mode and is having a meltdown because she has been handed yet another humiliating loss. The queen of the NIMBYs who opposes virtually any and all development wanted this to become condos instead of something all people can enjoy simply because it contradicted the administration position. Never mind this has been going on for decades under prior administrations she previously supported simply because she has influence back then. Poor Yvonne, her dream of Newark Avenue turning back into a highway full of double parked cars and dollar stores will be permanently destroyed when the space is overhauled this December, bike lanes aren?t going anywhere and now she has to content with a park.

There are many threads on Nextdoor.com about this - the board the city convened for the purpose of getting input on the ordinance were disproportionately white, wealthy brownstone owners and a member of the hotel lobby. No renters sat on the board. Literally, a member of the hotel lobby helped to draft this legislation. It's a festering piece of NIMBY garbage.

I suspect this is what happened as well. A bunch of well heeled NIMBYs complained to James Solomon initially. Once the hotel unions smelled blood in the water, I bet they swooped in with campaign contributions. Hell, I bet the mayor, as well as James, who scraped by his own election by only 150 or so votes, got promised a nice get out the vote machine in exchange for eliminating their biggest source of competition. When you run on a vague platform of anti-development and NIMBYism, this was a no brainer. You get to look like you're doing *something* and you get to curry favor from a traditional Democratic constituency (unions) for future runs. Wouldn't surprise me if he's already laying the groundwork for his own mayoral run. All this dude has done is slap restriction after restriction and fees on homeowners and businesses since he took office. He seems to listen exclusively to the NAs and has no understanding of economics or collateral damage these sorts of policies cause. I hope to god the No vote wins on this. I suspect it may as the original recall petition got something like 8,000 signatures and it results in a huge loss of political capital for this moron.

What nonsense. Any of the issues complained about here can also occur with long term tenants and owners. Future, Airbnb tourists aren?t putting kids into the school system and draining resources and they?re not taking up peoples precious parking, they?re either using ride share or public transit. Let?s also not forget that this entire initiative was started by wealthy VVPA NIMBYs that didn?t like seeing people with roller suitcases on their block and feel they should restrict property rights for the entire city based on one incident.

But wait, I thought Yvonne refused to patronize downtown JC because it would require her to pay for parking, which she believes she is always entitled to get for free? At least this means she?s probability conceded the war to preserve and build more parking lots. Most likely someone told her that only LGBT people use bike lanes and that?s why they?re now the new object of her ire.

I believe at the meeting, the goal is to have 140/190 of the total miles of road in Jersey City with bike lanes. Unfortunately for Yvonne and the other NIMBY oldsters: ?The reality is we had 60 public meetings, 60. Not something that happened overnight,? Fulop said. That said, the mayor says nothing is final. Parking issues and more can be adjusted, but the bike lanes will remain as part of a citywide initiative. The mayor says new traffic patterns are part of a greater push to encourage residents to take public transportation or give biking a try to help reduce congestion. So doesn't look like they're going anywhere. Maybe you guys could get Boggiano to run for mayor on a platform of ripping them all out, if he can even stay awake long enough.

The entire meeting was put together by that senile buffoon Boggiano at the behest of Yvonne with almost no notice and was stacked with her hand picked bike lane opponents. She was of course regurgitating her lies. Thankfully the mayor has said they're already not going anywhere and even more will be installed, so her NIMBY powers are useless. Yvonne is simply going into snowflake mode and can't accept she lives in a changing city.

Per this article, https://jerseydigs.com/barcade-propose ... ewark-avenue-jersey-city/ it sounds like they're going to preserve and reuse the historic facade for the front of the building and that dollar store being obliterated is no huge loss. However, it seems like the overall retail footprint is going to be greatly reduced as I don't think the combined dance studio/Barcade/Dollar Store is anywhere close to 12k square feet. The NAs will do their usual whining and grandstanding over the residential density and parking, completely ignoring the retail factor, per usual of course.

Ho ho ho, this one is rich. The "Build Nothing, Nowhere, EVER" NIMBYs that run the VNA decided to sue the city for approviing this project that was originally going to provide because they didn't like one extra floor of units (that was going to be setback from the street anyway). The developer then decided to go the path of least resistance and build as-of-right, which to the horror of the parking NIMBYs in the neighborhood, included retail instead of parking. So now half the neighborhood is up in arms at the self-appointed idiots that run the VNA because of this lack of parking. Hopefully this is the start of a NIMBY civil war in the VNA and they'll be too paralyzed to initiate their pointless lawsuits in the future.
