You have just proved that you are intellectually dishonest if you think that data about our local BOE can only be considered if made available through a state website. The JC BOE budget is public knowledge. That you can't wrap your mind (or accept the fact) that the budget is just shy of 1 BILLION DOLLARS (973 MM to be precise, something that is public knowledge and widely reported all over) and that we only have ~30,000 students is a you problem. Those figures are fact.

My guess is that it's a different twist on the cantilevered floors Toll Brothers used on the other 2 buildings they built. Both of those have a few floors that jut out over the ones below it (a less extreme version of what Mac-Cali did with URBY. If you want better info, there's a rendering of what they're planning at the corner of Provost and Steuben.

I think it’s more ideal that each column is landing on the one below, rather than using (and stressing) the horizontal structure to transfer the load.

Why they’re at a slight angle, I’m not sure. It looks like there are four floors there that are slightly wider… could be an architectural choice or something to do with building balconies.

Maybe 10% of the people on this sub llive in JC and leave their phones long enough to notice any tyoe of crime rate. JC used to be comoletley fucked. Now its semi fucked. I think overall that sums up new jersey. Not that i think anybody in new jersey has the slightest idea whats going oj outside their own windows. Let the downvotes begin. Up yours, New jersey.

structural engineer here:

Sloping columns put some extra loads on the floors, so as long as these loads are taken into account when designing, there is no issue.

This incline is big enough that it should have been noticed during construction. The fact that they built over a dozen floors above it means it's intentional.

Not a structural engineer.

Looks intentional to my eye.

They're aligning the downward forces directly to the below support column. Rather than built structure to transfer the load to something else (think the header of a door or window transfer weight above to the jack stud).

I believe inspections are done per floor during construction in JC, something that irks developers as it really slow the process. So an inspectors been on site each time.

not a native but grew up in NJ - JC has changed *a lot*, it was pretty violent back in the day. Five Finger Discount by Helene Stapinski is a good read and gives some pretty good insight into what it was like in the 60s-70s.

I even addressed the issue that if your statement of $33k per was real, it doesn't mean a fucking thing.

<you>

>about 33K dollars per pupil. That’s the highest in the State, among the highest (if not outright highest) in the nation.

<facts>

>Even your guess of "about 33k" would put it at 44th in the state (36th without the services ones).
