Lol thank you. To be fair, consistent riders pay $36 a month max, which is way cheaper than PATH (and light rail doesn't have pressure cooker bombs), and while it is outside most people's work schedules, if you ride the path between 2-4, you'll notice that there are a ton of kids coming home from school on the light rail, which replaces a lot of the costs of bussing and is a convenient source of transportation for families.

We're so fucked. We need someone with serious political ambitions (Fulop) or someone who is super wealthy and just wants to help to put the work in to make this all work. This city has become so big and no current elected officials in the city could successfully manage a free for all patrons liquor shop.

I sold my car just about two years ago and have had no regrets except until I recently started seeing someone that lives a distance away. Food? Amazon fresh/local markets/other grocery delivery services for the odd thing (also 99 Ranch is not a bad walk at all with reusable bags at that distance); Uber can get expensive but I've found I spend less on uber than having a car. If you own a car and don't street park, you are likely spending at least $500 per month between parking and insurance. If you do a bunch of weekend trips then I'd say it's maybe worth it to keep the car, but if you're talking once every two or three months then rent.

That said, if you have an SUV feel free to dm me and I might want to take it off your hands to drive to see the GF, which is my biggest issue currently.

Call the court and ask to pay it online, it works.

I think you found a real life Dobby the house elf.

I mean that's kind of it right? It shows the displacement/transition of born and raised local citizens

I think the bigger comment is not about what the City government is doing, but about what types of questions Jersey City residents are asking.

This comment is so amazing because 20 years ago there were literal pimps and dozens of prostitutes downtown, and now we're asking about recycling different types of plastic.

There have been reported drone strikes in and around the area

Does Verizon let me pay extra so that my owl farm doesn't get stale?

Doesn't living next to a 5G tower guarantee that your frog children will want to eat 2nd amendment freedom and mate with socialist canaries? Not on my water tower no way buble'.

Your instinct is valiant, Liberty Humane Society takes birds, but more realistically, home depot sells burlap sacks and concrete...

4% NYC city tax*

Fuck WHO LET AMY INTO THE PARK

Rasoi is hands down amazing, but its a shame what they did with their dining room, the dining room ten years ago was great but now it feels really sterile.

A good time

I don't recall specifically but it was being discussed last year, I think the BOE tax hike killed any of that discussion thought

For now no, although there have been whispers of a 1% income tax. Regardless, it won't be 4% though. I spend a lot of time in NYC but was born and raised in Jersey, I'd live here regardless, but the 4% savings nice

From what I understand you won't need to pay the 4% NYC tax if you live here.

I felt the same as you, but not all landlords are the same, especially if your building has partial other owners. I moved into a "new" building in part because in my last place (which I loved and lived in for 3+ years) I didn't have laundry for 5+ months when things flooded last year, and forget the smell of living in a beautiful, but old, historical walkup. It's definitely a maintenance issue that I couldn't control. In my dreams, I'd love to buy a full brownstone or other building and make sure none of that ever happened, but its hard to control the just shitty factors that make life miserable without owning in some buildings.
