Actually just sounds like a person looking for advice? They were overly specific because so many on here aren't and those people get bad/no advice.

Yep, I looked and couldn’t find it. I’m pro-density, this isn’t my backyard, but…kk

Jeesh, seriously.

Just Wow! The entitlement is strong with this one.

Why is everyone so afraid to read or research topics they claim to be interested in on this thread? I’m not asking for permission from the planning board here on Reddit, lol. I am asking if anyone knows why this building got approved. There’s years of history on it, and I’m curious if anyone has more knowledge. I am not here to bash anyone’s way of life, or where they have chosen to live, so I am not going to link to studies on high rises because I’m not interested in bashing high rises as the main point - it’s a distraction, it’s not the focus and I’m not looking to change anyone’s mind. If anyone wants to read about high rises and environmental impact, psychological impact on residents, the communities they’re in, they certainly can and don’t need to rely on strangers to help them research. It’s not “mysterious,” it’s Google!

From what I understand this building appears to already be a done deal and I’m looking to understand why. I have Googled and gotten as far as I can, and hoped someone might know. It’s ok if you don’t know. No one seems to know. Relax.

You said $1000 a year, so $83 more per month?

You can't be lawfully operating a vehicle and not know you hit someone. That means, eyes on the road, both hands on the wheel, and aware of your surroundings.

There is absolutely no excuse for this. Period.

Please think before you accuse someone else of posting nonsense.

Please watch the video before posting nonsense.

"You don't have to try to make stuff up." LOL. Says the person claiming mysterious data exists that proves all of their points but refuses to link to it anywhere. You know if you wanted to actually attempt to change this building from being approved it would be more impactful to have data to back up your points. People that make decisions like numbers, not vague generalities.

I started reading this and about halfway through I decided to just go on living my life.

“my bad, your mom came over last night. We’ll keep it down next time”

OP cast "stir public outcry", it's super effective! /s

My eyes popped when I saw this!

OP is the biggest NIMBY of them all. Just resist, OP is trying to raise our rents.

You make a good point for some 75 floor highrises south of the park.

i can tell you that if you’re living in urby, the management doesn’t care

What? No sex jokes?

> Even more if you’ve got indoor plumbing that needs a plumber

Thankfully, my building doesn’t have indoor plumbing. /s

> I’m also in a large “luxury building” downtown and I didn’t get an increase when i renewed in 2021.

and you assumed that's because the govt forced them and not because the occupancy rates encouraged property owners to keep the rents low? This is not something that is subject to interpretation.

Yup, I do and yes, very hard to parent, work full time, volunteer, and sit in planning meetings, but I will keep on doing just that. It’s really curious why this was approved. The whole thing is so odd. Was really hoping someone had some knowledge I didn’t and it would all make sense.

FYI- All projects submit shadow studies which can be found on the jersey city planning board website. If anyone cares enough to look.

That said- OP just seems to be a NIMBY

Can you be a bit more clear on your post? What is the current price and how many bedrooms is it? Mentioning $1000 increase doesn't help without this additional context.

Yup. I agree with you. I’d get more involved in the city planning process myself. With my 50-60 hour a week job, it makes it difficult to find extra time.
