People choose to live in all different places for all different reasons. That's great that you have a 3 bedroom in the heights for $2500. Someone else chooses to live downtown and pay more. You can't seriously sit here and say with a straight face the heights is a vastly different area than downtown and may prefer one neighborhood over the other. If you prefer the heights, that's great. Luckily you don't need to move into this apartment. Someone else might prefer the suburbs and get a whole house for that price.

By the way, this apartment is absurd to me too. But I live in a 1 bedroom in PH and my husband and I both work from home. Some would say that's insane and we should upgrade to a 2 bedroom elsewhere in JC. But we don't have a lot of stuff, love our neighborhood, love our apartment, and couldn't dream of living anywhere else. Literally everyone chooses where they live based on what they prioritize. Do I think this person is arrogant coming to this sub and thinking that someone taking over their lease should pay all these ridiculous fees? Absolutely. But I'm not going to pretend there isn't a market for people wanting to pay this rent. There wouldn't be dozens of brand new high-rises downtown at premium rents right now if there wasn't.

Well I don't think you should be allowed to win and the only entries were me and soundmachine, just pick a winner.

Have also had a good experience with them.

Ooooh, this is new - to me. Gotta send the mass office email 🤭

My guy Manuel, at The King. He takes his time and really does a great job, every time. I even send my kids there. I’m going tomorrow.

Great clips @ portofino is probably cheapest downtown. 18$ ($13 with coupon). My husband is low maintenance and gets his hair cuts there. He likes them as much as his expensive haircuts. There is an Indian lady there and she cuts great.

I'm 99% sure this intersection isn't in his district anymore, though he is overall one of the most attentive to Vision Zero and traffic changes.

Reach out to Councilmember James Solomon jsolomon@jcnj.org . Ranting on Reddit won’t do nuthin.

People living above their means. That’s all I see when I look at these apartments.

I could afford this place and wouldn’t pay that. I also live in the heights, have a 3br, and pay $2500. Why would I want/need a place that’s almost twice as expensive and requires an elevator. Lifestyle creep is a real thing, and I’m guilty of it in ways, but sometimes it’s important to just put things in perspective and stay grounded.

Not to bad mouth, but I got a piece of moldy bread on my SEC & almost had to fight for my money back- Sip Ave. That was my last visit there

Biscott by jsq. 45 before tip is a steal for this guy's work. Jacques is unreal. His fade work will get you compliments for weeks. I've had a lot of barbers but nobody comes close to this guy's talent.

Thank you ALL for these recco’s 🙏 curious about the ones downtown/newport area so think I’ll check those out and see where I land. Sincerely appreciate you all

So often I find my self wondering “wth am I going to do/eat tonight?”

You guys are doing amazing work!! Really support this endeavor. Hopefully it continues to grow! Thanks!

Please let us know if there’s anyway we can directly support/help.

We tried it the other way during the pandemic, and it just didn't work. Basically we want everybody to be able to comment under each other's posts.

It's more of a theme than a contest, as of now. However if we start to get an unbelievable amount of participants, we'll figure something out.

Mr Ls in Hoboken. $20 cash and there all great. Ain’t a better bang for your buck JC/Hobo area

Truly a nightmare crossing this street. Everyone is always in a rush. So many directions of cars that can hit you.

Street is too big also

Thank you for this, exactly what I was looking for.

How much?

Okay

Got i. I can tell you as someone that's moved 5 times in the past 9 years in Jersey City that I would not even consider contacting someone if they advertised a room available without a price shown, even if there were pictures (which you don't have) and I loved the place. Good luck.

Why start a new post instead of posting in this thread? Unless the point is specifically to drive up post count I'd rather be able to just scroll through the responses.

if it's too cheap someone assumes it's rundown/there's something hidden, too high for what they consider good enough for the area it's a scam etc... i am also vetting the people who respond and didn't necessarily want to respond what could be a ton of people

This intersection has been a shit show for years. We're on vision zero influenced V2. The bridge through LSP to 78 has not helped one bit, nor the additional hospital construction. It's still unsafe and awkward to use for pedestrians, cars, and bikes trying to use it.

One time in a tread here someone demanded I couldn't possibly know it was dangerous without a traffic study, which got me pissy because ANYONE WHO HAS WALKED ACROSS THAT INTERSECTION GETS IT. It probably needs a left turn arrow from Jersey onto Grand, probably needs raised cross walks, probably needs speed bumps or other calming measure further back in all directions, probably needs a full cycle of red for cars and walk for pedestrians. Probably also needs a crossing guard posted for all rush hour times.
