shot in the fat-ass by boy friend more like it!

I can only guess that the area is cleaned up and all the correct precautions are taken with new pipes for water etc.

Then again, go down there and get some soil samples from any dirt mound and get it checked out!

Also can anyone tell me if they have installed the 'midget' sized toilet bowls in these apartments / condo's to save a buck? It seems to be a trend to install those small-ass toilet bowls these days.

Is there anything BIG or TALL being built south of the Light-Rail that might block the views to LSP, the boat marina or Lady Liberty in the future?
Those views from LHN must have a $ value, that could be lost in the future if so, should it be a selling point and will you be reimbursed if you lose that view?

What the fcuk not again. Siht relating to our public servants was supposed to occur every 2 weeks!

Did the councilperson at-large Flood, lose her merc?

Be careful Althea, these two are the neighborhood psychopaths. Getting addresses and taking photos is scary business. These associations they have created for themselves, is their life and reason for breathing and any real or imaginary threat to their association is a direct and personal threat to them. I would strongly suggest that you change your username and let the 'Althea' name on this website retire.

Hey Sonia and Janet, I can only guess that both of you are as welcome as urine in an elevator and the only thing you represent in our community is all the self-serving, power hungry dictators out there.
You would be better suited running the Jersey chapter of the Klan that would put both of you on a petastal and be the new pin-up girls for that association!

And 100% of the criminal elements in JC are supporting it, organised crime gangs, loan sharks, pawn shops, petty criminals, corrupt law enforcement, politicians and public servants, money laundering crimes and any and every criminal act that can be attributed to a casino are hoping like hell this casino is built.

Read the article as if you are reading about Jersey City Politics - scary!

DUI, Any council person - side bet, Healy's wife because he himself will be wasted coming home from his sister place on the Jersey shore.

Banks and 'predatory lending' should be illegal and if siht hits the fan for the borrower, the banks should return every cents the borrower paid before the bank gets the house.

If you're cunning as a rat and a spine-less turd that preys on the weak, poor and poorly educated, then yes we are being respresented by some of the finest examples of that in City Hall.
Healy I believe, represents the street peeing drunk dude from my neighborhood!

Someone is keeping a nice scrap book!

(even the photos of these guys look like they just old, useless hoods)

I don't even know who represents my area near the corner of MLK and Communipaw. Not many have computers and we don't even get much junk mail because everyone knows we have no money!

Why stop at a casino, lets have one arm bandits at bus, light-rail and PATH stops. Lets line them up next to school lockers and mini ones as parking meters........This will be another fcked up decision made for a quick grab for cash and taxes without the social consequences or impact.

I've been in Bayonne and JC all my life, and the only reason I feel things are changing in our council / community and emergency services, is the new 'white collar' residents that have migrated here with a higher expectation of accountability from them. Neighborhood associations and even websites like this one and getnj.com, have proven to be a source of embarrassment to city hall with the sharing of information and observation of our 'public servants' at work by the general public.

This place was a siht hole 5+ years ago and things are now improving, but we still have the 'old school' personnel running things with a lot of 'skeletons' and 'baggage' around their necks.

I'll wait another 14 days before we see another ass-hole public servant, or contract service providers fcuk up.

PS, We also forgot about the JCPA fcuk wits in that group.

You left out all the Mayor's exploits and other council (public servant) personnel.

Developers, the banks that financed them and then gave loans to people who would be hard pressed to make payments, coupled with marketing and estate agents created this crap families are about to face. It amazes me that this isn't a case of conspiracy, profiteering and organised crime to dupe the public.

Developers will make a siht load of money and banks will recoup their intitial investment to the developers via sales. The marketing and estate agents will get their commissions and the banks will get a second 'bite of the cherry' with high / increased interest rates to families and when they default on loans, their property are then ceased.

I'll coast through this 'over-exaggerated' growth and sense of national well-being, but many families won't. I wish the federal government could freeze mortgage rates for the next 10 years, to give everyone the 'real' chance of home ownership.

Most of us on JClist will be lucky enough to see this through, but families in my neck of woods are already feeling the pinch. I just hope all the optimist's are correct on this one!

I'd love to see all this development and high rise apartments empty for 3-5 years, so I can watch the developers and banks struggle to recoup their own money, then be forced to have 'fire sales' to attract buyers.

Promote the detective in-charge of this investigation.

My final tip / opinion on this subject is that I would suggest everyone seek a LONG TERM FIXED mortgage rate. It might be a little higher right now, but in the long run you will know how much it will cost you, without any increases that could throw a spanner in the works!

This should have been listed under the 'Post a Joke' thread.

Asian Stocks Plunge on Fears Over U.S. Economy

By HEATHER TIMMONS and JULIA WERDIGIER
Published: March 15, 2007
NYT

NEW DELHI, March 15 ? Asian and European stock markets tumbled today, following the sharp drop in U.S. stocks on Tuesday, as concerns spread about the consequences of loose lending practices in the United States housing market.

But losses slowed on Wall Street this morning, where stocks opened the trading day mixed and then turned higher.

Most markets in Asia closed down between 2 percent and 3 percent. It was their biggest drop since the sharp declines two weeks ago that were touched off by the selloff in China on Feb. 27.

Investors sold Asian and European equities after United States stocks fell significantly on Tuesday because of concerns about home loans made to borrowers with weak credit histories. An American mortgage association said Tuesday that a record number of homes entered the foreclosure process at the end of last year.

The Dow Jones industrial average had its second-worst trading day of the year on Tuesday, finishing down 1.97 percent. The Standard & Poor?s 500-stock index fell 2.04 percent. Shares of financial companies led the way.

In early trading today, both the Dow and the S.& P. 500 opened slightly higher, fell back and then recovered. About 11 a.m., the three main indexes were just slightly into positive territory. Today in Asia, Hong Kong?s Hang Seng index closed down 2.57 percent at 18,836.93. Tokyo?s Nikkei 225 was down 2.92 percent at 16,676.89, and Standard & Poor?s Australia index dropped 2.1 percent to close at 5,741.90.

After Asia?s sharp falls, European stocks opened weak. By early afternoon trading today, Britain?s FTSE 100 index was down by 1.5 percent, at 6,070. Germany?s DAX Index was down 108, or 1.6 percent, to 6,514, and the CAC 40 Index in France dropped 78 points, or 1.4 percent, to 5,355.

Francis Lun, general manager of Fulbright Securities in Hong Kong, said that the crisis in the U.S. housing market was having a ?destructive effect on global financial markets around the world.?

After several months of smooth climbing, Asian equity investors have been treated to a bumpy ride in recent weeks. They could face even more volatility in the future, analysts say.

Asian markets have been flooded with liquidity in the past 24 months, thanks to a combination of domestic investors, hedge funds, and proprietary trading desks at banks. Many of these investors trade on the movement of market indices, exacerbating stock drops and heightening their jumps.

The shares of banks and lending institutions in Asia were hard hit today, as were companies that make consumer goods. The number of United States consumers who are late paying off their home loans is climbing steadily, particularly among borrowers with a history of credit problems, known as subprime borrowers.

Asian investors and economists predict that these consumers will stop buying new cars, electronics and other goods, hurting Asian economies.

Japan?s Chiba Bank closed down 4.31 percent to 1,022 yen today, and Sony Corp dropped 4.09 percent to 5,869 yen.

HSBC Holdings, the British bank, dropped 1.5 percent in Hong Kong to HK$135.

HSBC has been hurt by United States housing market problems after it bought Household International in 2003, a United States lender that specializes in loans to borrowers with bad credit. On Feb. 7, HSBC shocked investors when it said it was setting aside $1.76 billion to cover potential mortgage losses in America, 20 percent more than analysts estimated.The drumbeat of bad consumer news from the United States, where more than 1 in 10 subprime home borrowers are late paying back their loans, is having an effect on investors? appetite for risky stocks, analysts say.

Fat-ass tip;

Not wanting to be pessimistic, but I hope people who have a mortgage that have 'stretched' them a little from time to time, have a plan B to making bank payments!

And if your selling, do it now. If your buying wait till Christmas and the New Year.

A 2 or 3% increase in mortgage rates is still on the cards in my opinion. This will happen in the next 2 years and politicians will say its the recession we needed to have. Government spending on defence has increased by billions, (To fight insurgents that have no tanks, subs, aircraft carriers, thousands of troops and special weapons and they are kicking our ass and we might have to turn tail) and will continue by the fear generated which has an expensive appetite. All I suggest, is save those dimes for a rainy day.

What about some of the 'listers' or neighborhood groups install webcams themselves, so anyone can access them from the internet?

You could watch a loved one walk past points from the PATH to home!

You have to give Chief 'fat-ass' Comey credit - he does go to a number of community meetings, but I don't understand why Mayor 'fat-ass' Healy doesn't give Chief fat-ass money to spead on recruiting and training.

Chief fat-ass makes it quite clear he needs more officers - siht, I'd be happy with bdlaw running around out there.

Hey Mayor fat-ass, don't be a siht-head and hand over some money!

What about deducting 50% of his pay for 2 days each week?
