Say what you will about Hoboken, but their traffic enforcement works for a variety of reasons. One is because it’s so condensed, which jersey city can never replicate - I’ll admit. But two, it’s because the hoboken police and traffic authority are visibly auditing parking and driving enforcements on a regular basis, drivers have therefore been conditioned to be mindful of them. Everyone i know who lives in Hoboken knows the unofficial rules of parking / driving. I have never once seen a jersey city parking enforcement or regular police patrol in my two years living downtown - therein lies your issue. Why wouldn’t I do something I can get away with? Law enforcement here is an absolute joke.

This sounds silly, but NYC has been doing this! It's not for moving violations, but it is a start.

I mean, that's the definition of "luxury" housing.

I used to ride my motorcycle everywhere as my primary vehicle and my bicycle for local trips to the grocery store, etc. I’ve pretty much given up on both with how bad things are.
Now I either walk or drive and regardless of which method I’ve chosen I have to assume that nobody will stop at stop signs, people will still be driving through lights after they’ve turned red and I now have the green, and that if I’m walking through an intersection at a crosswalk that I’m invisible to everyone, etc.
It is getting worse basically every year. Without a doubt.

That’s one of our go-to places and they usually don’t give them. You got lucky!

I’d agree that being a pedestrian in JC- probably the hardest place to be a pedestrian in Hudson County. But in Newark - I actually find Newark drivers to be more aggressive than JC drivers.

Sam a.m. is the only answer. Chef Francis is the best.

Yep. I almost got hit there last week by a driver trying to beat the light turning red.

Lots of good options. Life Pancake Factory for good diner breakfast. Kitchen Step, Latham House, Hamilton Inn, and Mathew’s are nice for a higher end brunch. Porta and Hamilton Pork are good for a more casual fun brunch. Buddy’s is also a solid option, and Gussy’s is great (just doesn’t have waiter service, but everything is solid and the space is nice).

WiFi is not the same as an ISP
You could have a great ISP and terrible WiFi. Or, terrible ISP and great WiFi.
You could also own your own WiFi router.
These two things are not the same.
What are the symptoms?

Speed test on my phone on Verizon wifi today had me at ~550Mbps. Move your router or maybe get a new one?

It’s clear a lot of cities gave up on improving public transit/city planning and have decided they’ll just cater to a demographic that can afford to Uber themselves and their food everywhere. Imagine how many less cars would be on the road if people could actually walk to pick up their food or groceries instead of clogging the streets…

I was walking in the crosswalk as I had the light the other day and got yelled at by a car for slowing them down as they turned right on red. Was completely thrown off by that.

Which Verizon plan do you have and how many devices use it at any one time? How far away is your router from the devices using it?
You might just need more bandwidth or an extender. FiOS is typically the best wifi option.

I agree. I think about this all the time. What's even more frustrating is that if the city actually started enforcing this and issuing heavy fines, JC would be so flushed with cash they wouldn't need to raise our property taxes ever again.
They should have something where you submit a video of a car breaking the law, and then you get to split the money from the ticket. No need for new cops, the city makes more money, and people would just be camped out on Columbus making a fortune - thus creating more jobs.

Assets protection.
Basically would it be a high theft area / location.

Getting weird energy from these comments. Hope you’re doing okay
This particular design was made by me. Definitely inspired from other popular designs - but I thought it would be cool to have a Jersey City version of it. Especially since Jersey City has an anatomical heart shape
This is a design I’ve been working on and there have been many iterations - consider looking at my post history to see how far friends from Reddit and I took this concept

+1 to this. Homeless people will be drunkenly accosting passerby’s, cops say nothing. But if someone on a bike comes within an inch of the entrance, they decide to give a shit. Absurd lol
