Those people are probably just trying to make fun of SI.

THIS is the sleeper move. I'm mad I didn't think of it myself. But I'd only go this route on public transit - you'd fly to Port Authority in that bus lane in no time!
Driving though... having to cross two rivers and drive through Manhattan still sounds like torture to me. OP, if your work hours are off peak, this may be a serious option for you.

A SketchUp model of the 2021 leaked redesigned proposal of 2 WTC placed in JC. I think it would look better in JC than on the WTC site.

As far as I know, only White Castle cooks their Impossible burgers on a separate grill with separate utensils.

The real crux of it is population density. When you live somewhere with 10 times as many people in a small area, then you're far more likely to run across shit people.

I think it is legally considered commuter rail despite its de facto operation as urban rapid transit.

Also consider Union City, West New York, North Bergen. Just be sure it includes parking. Good luck!

The port authority police don't give a fuck about anyone or anything.

Thats a fair response. Waterfront? sure. Grove street? No problem. Paulus Hook? You got it. Everywhere else is a congested headache.

lol, i tried going here for a little after it opened because it is slightly closer to my house than blink in jsq but stopped after the first month. the gym itself is not nice enough to be ~$20 more per month than blink and the constant emails every time someone broke a rule or stole a water bottle were funny at first but became annoying.

Thank you so much! I do think LIC could be fun to live near just cost is pretty steep but I guess that’s just the way of the land these days.

Seems more likely that they initially tried to sell it as a 2-family but decided to convert it to a condo.
Quick search on the county register's site pulled up the new deed establishing the condo December 2022.

Greenville is very much block by block. This block… not the worst, definitely not great.
I’d recommend driving out to see it on a Friday night and see how you feel about the neighborhood.
Btw this style build is common in JC. Price very much reflects the area (nicer area even in/around Greenville you’re looking at 600-700k per unit). Obviously without seeing it myself I can’t speak to build quality, but I imagine location is a leading factor in price.

Only Shamey Amy knows if she was drunk or if that's why she drove off, but it certainly seems possible.
