So it is true we lost ShopRite too?

I sure hope so. It's utterly mismanaged and completely out of sync with the current local demographics, let alone the ones that are on the way in. I would smile ear-to-ear if I never again had to deal with wasting 15 minutes of my life in the "express" lane while someone ahead of me argues with the cashier about a $1 coupon.

And the current local demographics are?

I am not talking about restaurants, I have stopped patronizing restaurants downtown and other businesses due to parking. I am talking about attending a public meeting concerning important matters in your community. Parking is important.

Really? Many shopping malls, located in cities, require you pay for parking. Here's one...The Westchester Mall. So you're wrong. Again...

You name one out of how many? Perhaps thousands, that probably kept you very busy. I attended those meetings, it was the residents not Newport who asked for the fee.

I can also tell you that I have gotten permits for two different homes that both had available parking for them. I don't think the parking authority is doing due diligence when someone applies for a permit.

Stop me if you've heard that one before, a rule is on the books in Jersey City and never enforced...

If the poor cannot access public meetings at City Hall, then this is a poll tax. We don't tax parents who use the public schools and we should not impose an indirect fee to attend a pubic meeting. That fee being a parking lot.

Yvonne wrote:
Yes, there is a parking lot but how long will that last? There were tons of garages on Bright Street before they became condos. But it also means low income citizens will not be able to attend meetings. It will be based on your ability to pay. That is not the roll of government, it should be accessible to all.

I believe there are more drivers with cars in JC than bikers.

That's probably true. Therefore it's a good thing that even if the parking were reduced from 163 to 123, there would be parking available for more than 75% of the units in the building. What's the household car ownership % for that neighborhood? I know it's 61% for all of Jersey City.

Where is the data on this? I know for a fact, downtown (Paulus Hook, Van Vorst, Hamilton Park, the Village, Harimus, etc do not have parking.

I went in a while back and left thinking why did I pay $3 and something for a slice of pizza when I could've gotten a tastier 99 cent slice from the city.

I know it. That's what blows my mind more than anything.. all these pizza places, mostly of sub-standard quality near the PATH station charging considerably more than the $1/slice places in Manhattan.

While I don't know what happened, I imagine it's a whole lot easier to triage at 33rd than any of the other stops in NYC. There's an elevator there to get the equipment down and the passenger up quickly. It's also faster to go back to 33rd than risk the situation worsening on the ride to JC. There are also more hospitals uptown, so the ambulance response time may be marginally better.

That's unfortunate - I just started using that Chase recently instead of downtown since I drive more now and there's a parking lot.

I know hate all the crowding that is happening and will continue to happen. The new restaurants are okay but Newark Ave. now resembles Hoboken Frat douchiness on a summer weekend night. Jersey City has lost any chance of having a "cool" factor. It's just another Flushing, Queens. In 20 years it will all be underwater and home owners will be f**ked.

Flushing Queens is just about all Korean and there is some rocking food there - not quite as good as Elmhurst / Woodside, most of the new places on Newark Ave are just lame Yuppie plays - overpriced bland nothing food made for people who just don't know any better because they got 0 real world life experience under their belts.


example : Sawadee Thai , run by Chinese ppl., you think the Yups know anything about how authentic Thai food taste like ?

There used to be some great old school spots in DTJC

Tania's Polish Restaurant
Fiore's Deli
etc.


The last hope is JSQ as it's a wide open canvass as the development in the area is starting.


Time will tell.

an ignore button is just as ridiculous as other's censorship on here

this is a so called "public" forum just like anything public, people can say what they want. if you dont like someone or find what they say is offensive then skip over their posts. unless you are outright being targeted or threatened with violence etc etc then its just another form of censorship.

people need to get over themselves. the world is not here to agree with everything you say or stand for.

If it's allowed, it's clearly not rude and ugly. It's like going to a smoking bar (outside of NYC) and complaining that people are smoking. Go to a non-smoking bar instead.

I don't understand why people are eager to link sexual assaults to uber or lyft- your risk is exactly the same as it was when you were taking regular cabs. Atleast you have a history of the car and driver that picked you up now. The risk of cab drivers assaulting passengers has always been there-with or without an app. I'm not saying it's a great situation either way but this certainly isn't anything new or unique to just Uber or Lyft.

It's basically fracking but with a graham cracker crust. Yet again, Fulop capitulates to the Dessert-Industrial Complex that pays for his campaigns.

Fulop missed an opportunity to turn the powerhouse into a Cheesecake Factory. Good luck becoming the governor now, Mr. Mayor.
