If you know history, then you will know at its beginning Islam was spread by the sword. Northern Africa had a large Christian community. Several popes were from there as well as St. Augustine. It also spread into Spain, Portugal, and southern Italy. There were many battles to throw it out of Europe. Did those countries invade the Middle East, the answer is no? I still remember the Saudi king offering bin Laden to President Clinton in the late 1990s. But Clinton turned down his capture. As extreme as Saudis are, bin Laden was even more extreme. France did nothing to Islam except not being a Islamic country. Stop blaming western civilization for this problem.

We pay income, sales, property plus a bunch of other fees that are essentially taxes. That money should pay for our parks. It is ridiculous to say parks must support itself. I am sure if our government was able to tax the air we breathe, there would be a tax on it, too.

Sorry, but it is arrogant for you, Brewster, to speak for someone else. You did not win a runoff election, so allow the person who won respond to my question.

And you are making the assumption they will not. We were told by the city in the 1970s, the non-fruit pear trees which are planted around Van Vorst Park would not be invasive and would not grow taller only thicker. Both did not happened, the trees grew much taller, hiding homes and the roots invaded water, sewerage, and gas lines.

I guess that mean we will have to replace the sidewalks, unless these trees are placed in pots, they will be tearing up the side walks in about 15 years.

People have to realize school is a business. Do you all wear witch costumes to your place of employment?

I don't but our office has a Halloween party every year and yes, there were some witch costumes. And no, this isn't some kooky internet startup or three-person business I work at. It is a large, publicly traded company. I doubt the shareholders take issue with something that takes about an hour and the cost of refreshments is maybe $100 if that. Regardless, there has been at least one witch costume every year.

I am sure our tax dollars are not flipping the bill for your festivities unless you are one of the scum banks we bailed out. Schools are being funded by public monies and I am against any sort of celebration that has nothing to do with education especially since I don't have kids in the public school system. I am all for Halloween, we have a great celebration in my area for it, but it does not belong in school no matter how butt hurt you are.

Only a person who does not own a car thinks there is too much free parking. You don't live in the real world. Besides the money I pay in taxes tells me I am investing in Jersey City and that includes parking.

You're so very right. It's only those dirty Puerto Ricans. You never see this at, say, the Hoboken St. Patty's Day festival...

It is obvious JCMan24, you have not attended a council meeting. Citizens from all over this city come to various meetings, without those parking lots, you are basically telling citizens their comments are not important. Let me remind you, mass transit is a joke here. There was more buses in the 1960s and 1970s than today. Besides bus routes do not travel pass midnight. Some meetings are past midnight when city packs over 100 items (resolutions and ordinances) on the agenda. Every time we get a reformer in city hall, the public always lose. The last reformer gave the water department to United Water and our bills increased regardless of our water saving devices. Now this reformer wants to take away free speech by eliminating parking.

So you need a car to make comments at council meetings? Would have thought we'd want a level playing field in JC.

Course you don't give a shit about anyone except yourself Yvonne.

Your mother must be very proud that you can spell a four letter word. But I don't need a car to get to city hall but my neighbors do. For years I walked two blocks to City Hall, now I am a walking distance to the PATH station. This is not about me, it is about public access and people do need cars especially at night to attend public meetings. We know there is no parking in the surrounding Van Vorst Park area. This redevelopment plan eliminates the public access for meetings.

Yvonne wrote:
The city is not saying what they want with the parking lot. But let's be realistic, how do people in different parts of the city attend meetings?

If you allow developers to build without requiring open space, then yes, recreation options are limited. Besides that, the public schools are closed after school unlike Bayonne which provides an after school recreational program.

This is what Auggie Torres wrote on the Political Insider June 27th:
-- Glad to see that the City Council introduced an ordinance to make the Newark Avenue pedestrian plaza permanent. It runs from Erie to Grove Street. Oh wait, wasn't it already opened the previous week? Gee, Fulop pulled an Obama and issued an executive ? or is that an administrative ? order to get it done before getting it legally approved. It is good to be king.
