just pointing out that every road in New Jersey is designated for bikes unless it’s a highway or some other regulation says so

inb4 some carbrain says something like “never walk in front of a car unless it’s completely stopped” which, newsflash, is basically never because drivers don’t properly yield

>I really do not understand why we think parks should be dog toilets.

"We" don't, but this battle has been going on a long time. The people who passionately argued against dog-free zones and dog parks insisted that there was no reason why 'we can't all just get along and share', when that meant they and their dogs could do whatever they wanted and we had to watch out for both aggressive dogs and where we sat or stepped.

I love dogs, but I've made the choice not to have one because I am not willing to put in the time commitment required for being a responsible owner. Unfortunately this does not seem to stop many, many dog owners.

You have Verizon FiOS or their 5G Home Internet?

I'd love for him to prove this wrong. I wouldn't hold your breath.

It’s garbage. It looks exactly like a mall from 2002. Did a lap last week and didn’t feel compelled to walk into a single store.

Uniqlo is a massive upgrade.

AP risk?

lol some ass that was stuck in a crosswalk literally backed into me and gave me the finger because my backpack slammed into his car. lmao ok buddy if I did it on purpose I would’ve aimed for your taillight or side window.

? I don't think you invented this design as it's a common one but sure!

You're not alone. People are working on these things. Get involved. Contact your councilpeople. Etc.

Perhaps you are correct. But if he does care, he can show his constituents otherwise.

Should Fulop run for governor, he's smart enough to know that while money might get him so far, at the end of the day, it's votes that are needed to get him elected.

Word travels; Jersey City does not exist in a vacuum.

There is absolutely 0 chance they are charging that little.

If you want to feel safe, you should never leave the Newark Avenue Pedestrian Plaza. It's the only place JCPD bothers to enforce anything.

Stay strapped on Jersey streets, they might come at you from anywhere

This post got your attention, so yes, the press that results from the City Council meetings is one example of why constituent advocacy is important. Unless you attend the meetings you might not yet be aware of the following:

• Portside tenants are bringing awareness about Jersey City's rent control law, Chapter 260, to fellow JC tenants. The amount of misinformation about rent control exemptions, even here on Reddit, is astounding. Even city agencies may not be giving tenants correct, lawful information.
• Portside tenants are striving to teach other tenants how to organize their own tenant associations. Forming a tenant association is an added layer of protection while tenants fight for their rights (see NJSA 2A:42-10.10).
• Portside tenants are teaching other tenants how to determine whether a mutli-family building within JC has a proper exemption, no matter what a building's owners may say on tenant leases. Behaving 'as if' one is exempt from rent control is not uncommon. Tenants should know that it is illegal and there is a process to defend themselves.

City Council members and even Hudson County officials/candidates are paying attention. The consistent, growing number of tenants who have been showing up at City Council meetings is bringing awareness for increased transparency related to lawful exemptions from rent control. No one tenant needs to feel alone anymore. And where there's increased transparency, we can expect a decrease in nefarious actions against tenants by bad actor landlords. It's been less than five months since Portside tenants went public with their fight for tenant rights...there's so much more organizing in the works.

If you are interested in learning more about what has been accomplished, you can DM me. You can also follow Portside tenants on Twitter (@RentControlJC).

Oh. I always just look both ways and cross when I don't see or hear a train. Many times a train will be approaching and I just wait a little back for it to pass.

Sometimes the walk sign will count down as the train pulls up, and you get within inches of the train. More disconcertingly, sometimes the sign will flash orange but the conductor will wave at you to cross the tracks anyway. It's well intentioned, but a part of me always worries a little bit.

Why do you often have to cross tracks in front of the conductor? 🤔

I was ready to be snarky about this post and the 'wish it felt less harrowing' line but the more I thought about it, you're not even wrong. Drivers are aggressive when I'm driving and don't respect stop signs when I'm walking. Bikers are negligent or are dicks, especially the ones on sidewalks.

Kinda feel like blaming uber but feel bad that the people aren't making good money.

I am moving and about to cancel a lease....what time frame?

$7 iced coffee ain’t it.

I guess, but if people followed the rules there would be less need for enforcement. ¯\(ツ)/¯
