...Tacos are great, vote the party line, Jersey City Amen

I'm actually not being a sarcastic jerk OP- what did you expect? in the last 10 years JC has added thousands of bedrooms, mostly downtown. We lead the entire USA in some building/construction metrics. We've majorly increased density, barely updated our infrastructure, also COVID made everyone fuckin aggro.

I've noticed it too, shit is definitely playing at a different key compared to even 5 years ago

Highly recommend avoiding brokers for renting in JC. They typically all are just looking for a quick buck and don’t offer anything you can’t find yourself by doing a quick google search. Anyone who promises they can negotiate lower rent or concessions in this market is typically full of 💩

Same here! She is amazing!

Yes, I called and tried to negotiate with them yesterday and their response was for me to send them a picture of the meter in case the reading was wrong 😑 the highest bill we had last year was for $317 in March after we moved in in November and had a delay in setting up our account so I was SHOCKED to see what Jan and Feb were.

Place is disgusting. Service is horrible. Bagels are just ok. They toast the bagels in a fucking George Forman grill, pressing them down to almost nothing. The line out the door is embarrassing. The only reason people think it’s good is because it’s the only bagel place downtown. Once the new spot opens and it’s hopefully decent, people will realize what a joke wonder bagel is.

As someone who lives down the block from you and has lived here for 6 years, I couldn’t agree more. The opening of that stupid bridge in the park is largely to blame for the horns and whatnot, the sirens, I don’t know, but it all sucks.

I don’t normally take them until the last several months I’ve been trying to expose my new dog to them but I’m officially done with dog parks and will not go back.

I haven’t seen a sign like that there. Where is it located? I’ve been unlucky multiple times in this area with dog parks. I’ll count the unlucky steaks as a sign not to go anymore.

Freight and light rail physically cannot share the same tracks by definition. The catenary height of the hblr and the nec are different. But yea exactly the common carrier laws are pretty strong to prevent forced abandonment or any kind of eminent domain by the state

Haven’t had them yet since Taqueria has ruined me from other tacos spots as of so far

One train per week, and it could operate like the RiverLINE with freight limited to overnight hours... NS seems ok with NJT using its tracks for Light Rail or regional rail so long as they get some payment out of it or infrastructure upgrades. They don't operate double stack trains like on their main lines, so they would fight under the Catenary without issues. They are not ok with the state forcing them abandoned lines...hence they high purchase costs for the boonton Branch.

You might be able to get away with just a tall elevated Bridge for the Passaic River , the Hackensack would require a moveable bridge. Probably cost a few billion but still cheaper than widening the Turnpike or 1/9... The NJT line 1 bus is at capacity and this proposal would replace it and reduce the commute time seeing how the alignment would be grade separated..and with all the up zoning underway in Newark and rezoning / up zoning in Kearny and JC what option do we have?

It's a Downtown problem...with the influx of "luxury" tenants and bars.

I’m no longer a resident but when I lived in Dixon Mills it was upsetting to hear all of the sirens on their way to the medical center during Covid

What makes you say this lol genuinely curious, I’ve had it countless times and always take people there and they always like it and have never once had a bad thing from there. (The one on jersey Ave, don’t know about other locations)

Westley Page was great for our corporate move when we came to town for a two-dat apartment hunting trip. Then we used him again three years later to buy a condo a few blocks away.

More high rises. More false alarms.

More people = more noise.

The illusion of scarcity increases hype. But it’s pretty damn good. I order from Gussy’s instead because you get more content.

Not putting it on the south side by exchange place was such a missed opportunity

Carlito’s. Slow cooked bbq on tacos. Really good stuff

I went for the first time the other day (because as noted their hours are super limited) and loved the sausage bun. Also brought home biscuits and English muffins for my husband. The food was excellent!!!

Given track record of BRT in this country.... we'll see. I hope so too.

Re. Murphy. He is generally good (in my opinion) but public transit is his obvious negative. The fact that $11 billion dollar turnpike widening is being championed by him says enough about his awareness of how modern urban planning works. I know the money isn't able to moved from that agency, but there are other road projects to be done other than adding a lane that does nothing but give cars an extra place to park before the Holland bottleneck.
