Would you say that your preference is to use the bus for travel within Jersey City? Also, using the example you provided about redirecting to JSQ after the bus didn’t arrive, is your preference to use the bus to travel directly into the city and why?

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.
Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/jersey-city-police-department-federal-corruption-investigation-private-security-off-duty/1423521/

JCPD was investigated by several federal agencies for their corruption… full stop. This is the first link and google the rest. Fuck the original question… it should be how corrupt is JCPD?

Yes of course it'll go up again this year.
On the upside the 2023-2024 school year might be the last year that NJ cuts state aid to JC? According to https://www.nj.com/hudson/2022/03/685-million-slashed-from-jersey-city-state-school-aid-while-bayonne-sees-12-million-boost.html
> Jersey City at its peak received $418.7 million in state aid for the 2016-2017 school year, but a seven-years state austerity plan that put the onus on city taxpayers to fully fund their schools began with an $8.4 million cut in aid for the 2017-2018 school year.
So if that's accurate there won't be a state cut in school aid for the 2024-2025 school year. Of course this is the JC BOE we're talking about, they'll just raise spending anyway & increase taxes in the process.

Probably won't be as bad as last year, but I'd be budgeting another $1k-$2k a year in tax increases for at least the next 2 years.

Lol it WILL be increasing again. The BOE already admitted they will keep requiring more funding since the state is giving back school control to the city.

Definitely contributed to me not wanting to buy here. I guess prices will fall a bit, relatively.

Cops in general can’t do much and they’ll tell you that to manage your expectations. Preemptive aid isn’t in their rule book so a crime actually has to be committed in order for them to open an investigation. By then, your package is stolen, or your car has been damaged, or someone has mugged you. These are the average complaints while they manage more effort for the infrequent complex cases like an active shooter.

wtf? “. In the remediation plans of 2008, it was determined that no soil capping was necessary for the contamination in these areas since the future turf would grow thick and protect the public from any contaminants while holding the new, clean topsoil in place. However, due to complete turf decline, this protection no longer exists, and it is evident that a significant amount of that topsoil has been washed away by erosion. (It should be noted as well that as an added protection after remediation, to preserve the grass, these areas of the Park were designated for passive recreation only - a guideline that has never really been observed by the community or successfully enforced.)”
The soil is contaminated?

I remember when I lived a lone mine was $70. I barely use electricity. Let alone gas. As long as the fridge had cold beer and soda, and I can watch my big screen for a few hours. I’m good. Dress up when it’s cold, chill naked when it’s hot.
I miss being single

They literally don’t do shit. A few months ago I was driving. The light was Turing red and the car in front of me blew the red light, there was a cop sitting in his cop car, saw it happen, he shrugged his shoulders and then went back to look at his phone.

McGinley Square/Bergen Hill here. Don't mind a 20 min walk to JSQ, or I can take the 87 bus around the corner from me which takes less than 10 mins to JSQ. Or, there's also the Bergen Ave bus (irregular service), or the 10/119 on JFK. Date nights to Newark Ave/Grove St we just Uber/Lyft.

The police need to be more aggressive. Jersey City has way too many Amazon packages being stolen.

What would you say you value most 1) An app that accurately tracks bus arrival times or 2) a bus service that runs more frequently? To clarify, the app can be accurate and yet the bus service run less frequently. Is it the service, the technology (app) or both that matter most to you?
