The first restriction is a bummer. Tenants should be able to sublet with landlord's permission. But amen to outlawing full apartment building rentals. There's a building on 1st Street that was advertised during construction as "New Luxury Rentals Coming Soon." Since opening, the entire building has been operating as an AirBNB hotel. A dozen units, off the table to long-term tenants. The absentee landlord never intended to rent these apartments to actual Jersey City residents, and duped the city into giving him a hotel construction permit for the relatively cheap price of an apartment building. In addition to lowering the number of available units and pushing the prices up of those that remain, this building's visitors are not neighbors. They are transients who do not treat the neighborhood with respect, and there is no landlord or resident on-site to oversee them. Ban this nonsense.

pretty sure the Turnpike forced most of the village out, per the original post. "The change came in the ?50s, when the New Jersey Turnpike wiped out a large chunk of the neighborhood and spurred an already growing exodus to suburbia. One by one, stores closed, as their elderly owners died, moved away, or simply shut their doors as business dwindled. With empty storefronts came vandalism and an ebbing of community spirit."

Drivers couldn't outsmart it if the actual toll readers were moved past exit 14C, to the fork, so they get ding'd (and charged) at Columbus, LSP, and the tunnel. Now that readers don't require an actual toll booth, it's not a huge ask, infrastructure-wise. And then the reader at The Holland Tunnel is outfitted with a second reader, just for this purpose. Covering your easypass at either point means you just jumped a toll, which carries a much greater fine. The PA could say no to the second reader, sure, but it would look like the petty payback it is, since that device would cost pennies.

When I heard Fulop was floating a congestion pricing plan, I thought FOR SURE that meant he was going to add a surcharge to anyone who gets off the turnpike at LSP or Columbus, and then roars through downtown to the tunnel.
It would be simple: Anyone whose EasyPass dings at those exits, and then hits the tunnel within say 30 minutes, gets hit with a surcharge that goes straight into JC's coffers. But no, that's not his plan at all. His plan is ass-backwards. And the most surprising thing is that I'm actually surprised.

I'm pretty sure the fact that PATH crosses state lines is why they can't have longer trains with cars that don't open at shorter platforms (the way the 1 train used to be at South Ferry, for example). Without this restriction, easier-to-expand platforms like Newark, Harrison, JSQ, and 33rd Street could accommodate longer trains, and riders getting on-and-off at those stops could congregate in the cars that won't open at other stations. This would alleviate a significant amount of crowding, but alas.

Steve Nuding retired, but I believe he dealt almost exclusively in Marvin Windows. He replaced a couple of my Harsimus Cove neighbors' windows, with no rebuke from the Historical Association. They are WAY more satisfied with their results than we are after going the (more expensive, more time-consuming, ultimately lower quality) restoration route.
So maybe find out who's the current Marvin dealer/installer?

the NYC police horses are treated like gold. I just don't see the crack Jersey City force stepping up to that standard, and I feel sorry for the horses already. (this based on how many times I've passed a police K-9 SUV with the dog left in it alone, losing its mind and barking its head off.)

plastic over windows is a game changer, especially in old buildings. do it. buy extra-strong tape, as the stuff that comes with the window plastic is lousy. you might have to spot-fix your paint, come springtime. seal n' peel removable clear caulk adds another layer of draft protection. we also lay down extra area rugs (as we're over a chilly storefront, with zero insulation between our wood floors and their tin ceilings.) since the heat in our place is uneven, we keep the thermostat set to 63, and use oil-filled electric radiators where needed. our winter PSEG bill is always lower than our summer one.

These guys will always have a place in my heart for how they reached out to the cat rescue community when Cookie got evicted, and then threw a bagel party at Fussy Friends after Cookie's successful adoption.
They are good eggs, and I like their bagels, too. (You can follow Cookie on Instagram: cookie_the_wonder_cat)
