almost got hit earlier in downtown because some dumbass doesnt know what yield to pedestrians means

A sushi place walkable from Lafayette is gonna be awesome! Communipaw Ave slowly filling in with businesses…

Damn….a Reddit post about a lack of fortune cookies… that’s wild

Berry you walk your dog on leash. On your days off you take him to somewhere like Mills reservation, or Liberty. Train him to retrieve. Get a Lyme Vax.

Blecher those people will do that anyway. The more compliant folks in a dog run do not want those dogs in a pen with theirs. I really do not understand why we think parks should be dog toilets.

You are absolutely correct. They should be 1/2 acre minimum. None would be preferable. The City is designing a park in the old courthouse space and I, and many others, would appreciate your sending a note to the Mayor's Office. He is Steven Fulop.

It’s technically possible. There’s also excellent software for detecting fake and modified video even beyond the stuff available commercially used by law enforcement and governments. So the argument of fraud is bullshit.

But a lot of people with deep wallets benefit from officer discretion. So it won’t happen. There’s no technical reason why all speeding and red light tickets can’t be 100% automated. Technology exists. The only reason is you can’t show a camera your PBA card or name drop your cousin, or your seat on the city council. And that’s a deal breaker for too many people.

is this good?

I have a solution to all this if we could get buy in at the state level. My thought is that you should have a way for regular people to submit video of drivers doing something illegal, and anyone registered to drive that vehicle has to sit through boring ass lecture courses on responsible driving after a certain number of violations, after the class and more violations a driving test and after that a license suspension.

So many people have cameras on their car capable of getting evidence of illegal behavior, lets us have a way to snitch on these dipshits.

No, I've lived in NYC and Hoboken, and JC has the most reckless driving by a long shot. I've been nearly t-boned by people blowing stop signs 3 times in the last year and a half. It hasn't happened anywhere else.

Omg! I moved here in December and the drivers are NUTS

I feel the same. I've lived here for 20+ years, and drivers are much more aggressive and careless in my opinion. Just one example: a few weeks ago, someone downtown *sped up* to try to hit me in the crosswalk as they were turning right. As for Robin's comment about generalized anxiety, as a pedestrian, I don't feel as unsafe in other places (Hoboken, Union City, even Manhattan) as I do here (and I walk *a lot*). And like the OP, I'm generally a big fan of JC.

As a fellow neighbor, appreciate it. The intersections here are definitely scary as hell, especially at night when you really can’t be sure if someone is going to bomb through and kill you while walking.

I’ve literally ordered and Uber from my JC apartment to Queens and the Uber driver accepted my ride, picked me up we left my apartment complex then pulled over to let me out on the side of the road bc he “doesn’t drive through New York City” like wtf lol getting a ride to/from is not always as feasible as people think

Hudson Hound has an underrated brunch

Hey… come on man. There’s no need for that

Either way, this poser stole my post of an old old old idea.

Check out the new ones I’ve created, maybe they’ll be more to your liking.

Original pieces made by someone born and raised here and theyre very personal.

If you don’t like them, save yourself the emotional bandwidth and ignore it. For your sake

One of my faves is Sam AM in Paulus hook, very cozy and casual and not outrageously priced. Scram which is on Erie which is open thurs-sunday mornings has some tables, they make amazing egg sandwhiches and pastries. The coffee shop O Kafe in Hamilton park does really good breakfast sandwiches, its not a restaurant though its a coffee place with some seats, but the food is good.

They had to cut back because of the out of control taxes and rent! (I hope that's not the real answer...)

Thank you

Good to know!

Well. They didn’t quite steal anything beside a post I made a few months ago. Stole the title and image and everything 😅

Sounds like a cover up

Hahah wait what? Someone ripping off your design trying to make shirts?

Wouldn’t it be great if the employees we pay with our tax dollars to enforce traffic laws actually did their job?
