I love immigrants. In particular, I like immigrants who come here on work visas. That means they have a skill the US needs. 41.7% of Jersey city’s population is foreign born. Studies show that if you have a teacher that has a similar background to the child, the child tends to have better educational outcomes. I want these children to have better educational outcomes at an affordable price.

Nobody’s being held hostage. Everyone who lives here is what made it expensive to live here. Your not a hostage when you’re holding the gun.

Your just a racist asshole looking for any reason to exploit immigrants to reduce your taxes. Which I’ll point out are low for relative to distance of a large metro area on this planet. Virtually every major city has a higher total tax burden.

The only color I see is green. This is what the employment immigration system was created for… to fill job shortages. Jersey City school teachers are already paid better than 85% of other teachers in NJ. There are a lot of foreigners who would love to make that money instead of complaining they need more money and holding property owners hostage.

Another plus is that the foreigners on visas would probably live within the city limits and add to the economy. Sounds like a win win to me.

So you’re being out loud with the “if they’re not white paying them less is ok”.

At least Republicans try and keep that racist crap on the DL sometimes.

Because it wouldn’t look as good?

Until we fund public schools differently than based on property taxes, the schools will be massively underfunded compared to the rest of the state. The state was supplying Jersey City with money to make up the difference. That flow is over. I would rather tax the fuck out of every single condo owner, luxury building developer, etc. etc. than underfund our schools

It doesn’t have to be a big cost. Bring in qualified teachers from abroad. Bonus: less woke indoctrination.

when they had the park closed in 2020 it was able to grow back

OP, did YOU vote in the board elections? That would put you in the minority of JCitizens.

The whole BOE system is a disaster. Every time someone with real ability and experience has run they've been defeated by Teacher Union neophytes. Corporations put people with real business experience on their Boards of Directors, we put college kids and housewives on a board controlling a $1B budget. And then we're shocked it's a mess!

The people saying we need to pay the teachers more don't know what they're talking about. Go to the NJ dept of ed and look at the stats. We pay better than like 85% of the 93 comparable large districts.

I"ve actually had a bagel with sliced turkey and homemade cranberry sauce! I put a lot of things on bagels as I usually have them (from Hoboken Hot Bagels) in the freezer. Meatloaf with ketchup and raw onions is a good one also. I'd totally put our home smoked BBQ pulled turkey on one, but the wife usually buys sub rolls.

Jersey city is pretty indian dude

Given the history of this thread, I don’t trust any of you with keeping chicken. You’re gonna cause another pandemic.

It's a nationwide shortage, but there's definitely hotspots. If you're entering teaching you've got your pick of districts. You can pick the nicer towns, better cost of living, better equipped schools.

This is going to be a big cost for JC in the near-ish future as current teachers age out and replacements get harder to find. You're going to have a hard time getting teachers to stay here when everyone else is offering more money to work in newer buildings with better supplies and lower cost of living. Teach in other parts of the state and you'll have a much better classroom, go home to a better place, and at the end of the month have more in your bank account.

That's just cost cutting. Ideally the unit is positively pressured so in the event of a fire smoke isn't being pushed into units. Especially at night when people are sleeping that steals evacuation time before smoke can overwhelm occupants.

Positive pressure in hallways was a way to ventilate with less investment in mechanical systems. Simple as that. Which in the covid era has proven especially harmful since it's not as simple as a filter/airblower upgrade to beef up air filtration like we've seen in Asia. In the event of a fire alarm being triggered they go into overdrive exhausting to keep air quality in the hallways clear for people to evacuate. In the US we just do that in stairwells if the building is big enough. Again: cost cutting.

But virtually all buildings prohibit anything that changes how ventilation works beyond opening a window. Window fans, even those plastic thermal barriers people do in the winter to stop drafts are generally not allowed if you look at leases or HOA rules. People think it's aesthetics, but it's because it would cause more air to stagnate in adjacent units.

Just found the news article about it from 2011: https://www.nj.com/hudson/2011/01/city_of_jersey_city_encouragin.html

>Current zoning rules permit residents to keep fewer than 50 chickens no less than 25 feet away from any structure used for human habitation.

>Although it's one "one of the most lenient chicken laws" in the state, according to Marione-Stanton, the city wants to make it even easier to keep and raise the little cluckers.

>The proposed revision would allow residents to keep one to seven chickens within 25 feet of a neighbor's property as long as the neighbor signs an affidavit of consent. Anyone wishing to house eight to 20 chickens would have to keep them 40 feet away from neighbors.

I don't know if the laws have been updated or if this was passed but I would assume it did if the coop behind Lo-Fi is able to operate.

After reading some of the OP’s posts and his username, it’s quite clear he is Muslim (my assumption is Pakistani) and he hates Indians. At first I thought it was a white finance bro who doesn’t know the difference between Muslims, Hindus, or Sikhs, but now I realize what’s going on

“Lived here 7 years…” (hahahahaha). So make like the black and Hispanic people that you forced out of the DTJC area and LEAVE.

Lol

“Thinking about asking the management co. Or the owner” —— anything but talk to the brown family that probably cooks amazing food huh? I think I know what, or should I say “who”, is the problem in this post….

How did the New Yorkers escape jail?

They ate the lox!
