You are confused. We don’t have a funding problem. We are currently spending just shy of a BILLION dollars to teach 30K students, or about 33K dollars per pupil. That’s the highest in the State, among the highest (if not outright highest) in the nation. So, definitely not a funding proble, but rather a spending problem.

Actually, it’s 10.50€. So, about $11.50 USD.

The municode site includes all changes, including very recent ones. I’m not sure how they do it, but they manage to publish ordinances and code changes before any other source I have seen. The most recent changes to the published JC municipal code are from last month (December 2022) - the only relatively recent changes dealing with regulations around chicken are from 2015, and it's only stuff about the cost of licenses. The council may have had debates or discussions about chicken regulations back in. 2011, but no code changes were adopted.

Again the one link linked is dated in 1978. Around 2011 the city council was revising the ordinance to be more lenient. I don't know of that passed but that's the "law" I was thinking of.

Secondly, the coop behind LoFi has only been there a few years. They been around since 2012. A year after the article I posted

Can probably fly over there and get that bagel quicker than it takes waiting in the glacial Wonder Bagel line

JC cops were brave and effective enough to put down the violent terrorist attempt to kill as many Jews as possible in 2019 with minimal loss of life, and they don't routinely murder or assault innocent JC citizens.

They're better than average.

Low bar? Sure. I wish every police department checked the boxes of "protect the citizenry from a mass murder attack" and "don't actually mass murder the citizenry yourself," but the question was about the average, not the ideal.

The heights. I take a bus to the path station because I work at 23rd st so it’s more convenient than the 119. I find the busses to be very unreliable and my commute to the city to be far too long.

I always thought that was scaffolding and they just weren’t done installing those glass panels yet. Even if it’s permanent, they should have atleast put some stone going horizontally where the stone ends currently to give it a border instead of just ending randomly.

Underrated comment

They are so warm and lovely! I will miss them.

This report is wild—the entire park seems to be in a state of near ecological collapse.

The lack of enforcement does not mean that it is legal. In JC, keeping poultry is definitely much more regulated than in NYC. The regulations in NYC with regards to chicken are quite lenient: there are no restrictions on quantity or space/distance (except for poultry markets, which must keep 25 feet) - the only restriction in NYC is no roosters. As for other poultry, duck and geese are not allowed. Compare that to JC, which has regulations dictating distance restrictions, amount of chicken that can be kept, and licensing requirements. But, of course, this being JC, there is ZERO enforcement, so there’s that.

They are great people and know how to treat people as a small, neighborhood business.

That thing about getting approval from neighbors is actually laid out in the municipal code, but only with regards to pigeons.

I’m not sure about the chicken coop behind LoFi, but it could be that it was there before the municipal code was enacted or modified, so it would have been "grandfathered in" as is the norm with many other regulations.

This is the JC way!

I am from Madrid but I live in JC, of course I almost cried when I saw this menu!! ❤️

I remember her saying she moved out

I know people like to bust on wonder bagels but they're still 20x better than anything you'll find in the rest of the US, let alone Europe.

Stone are heavy dude. Who wants to carry them up any higher

We probably put one of their kids through college so I guess they wanted to show us their appreciation. 😜

LUXURY doesn’t come cheap

Shouldn’t they do that to welcome folks moving TO the neighborhood?

I've been thinking about it. But I wonder if any money is actually saved. Like growing tomatoes in the summer, they're actually much cheaper to buy. And yet, chicken are so cute 😁

Symmetry is the death of art. ;)
