A week after being convicted, Amy posts a picture to facebook of her partying with Khemraj "Chico" Ramchal.
Chico resigned as Ward B councilman in 2016, a year after he caused a triple car crash by drunkenly running a red light at 12.30am in a city car while using red and blue emergency lights. The car was provided to him by the Jersey City Incinerator Authority where he served as a commissioner. Study of that car's GPS records were used to prove that timesheets he submitted for a third job with the Hudson County Improvement Authority were fraudulent and was in fact a no-show job.
Yet here they both are at a police fund raiser.

I had heard this warning from many people before but recently i needed an ER and didn’t have time to go to the city so I ended up at JCMC. I was surprised at how empty the waiting room was and how quick I got seen. The facilities are also pretty clean.
I was becoming doubtful of these bad reviews until i realized it had been 4 hours since I was checked in with little to no contact with a doc. Sitting in a hallway no less

As someone who relies on public transportation it is a pain to get to Hackensack or Englewood or Morristown hospital. But by car it's not bad at all. But I would choose those hospitals over any in Jersey City. If I had to choose a nearby hospital I'd go with Newark Beth Israel.
Also, do some research, some hospitals excel at treating certain diseases or have better treatments....keep that in mind.

Hudson Regional wasn't bad. Nice staff and they will pick you up and drop you off if you need it.
Had a good experience at Holy Name, too.

If you could charge more for a product you sell, wouldn't you?
I moved to the NJ side of the Hudson specifically because my income became high enough that the ~4% city tax for NYC became a non trivial amount of money. I suspect many others did the same especially during covid when no one has to commute into the office. This gentrification effect is now at the snowballing phase for Jersey City where soon our rents east of Grove Street will rival the West Village in NYC.
Over a 30 year period "luxury" apartments should start trickling down to more affordable prices as new luxury buildings overtake them. But the NYC area is so insane that you can have old buildings like Grove Pointe continue to charge rents comparable to new builds in the area.
My biggest regret financially for rent was not buying property in Q3 2020 when prices were down (became a digital nomad instead since I thought NYC would become a crime and germ filled cesspool there was a really nice 1BR in Brooklyn that has now gone up 20%) or signing a longer term lease in Q1 2021 when rental market was still soft.

Reason is moving costs. They know moving costs money, so if they are able to raise rent just enough to be competitive with moving costs, most people will stay put. Also yieldstar software is definitely leading to collusion in jersey city + Hoboken in particular.

Grove st/Hamilton park shouldn’t really be paired like that. HP very accessible from the commercial part of downtown but it’s a quiet neighborhood with lots of families. Compared to grove st at least your have better chance of getting more for your buck in HP. Also the park and there’s a low budg gym.

If your budget is $3200 a month and you care about the night life and not being bored, move to NYC

2.5 bd 1.5bth? Even in 2018 that’s well below market. Wonder what neighborhood this is in.

Man idk, judging from all the comments I must be part of a very small minority who got extremely lucky. That said, of the 7 times we’ve signed or re-signed a lease, 3x were 2-year terms and most recent was a 14mo term. I guess that’s probably helped a lot.

There's about 15 in all of downtown according to Zillow. Depending on how close to Grove he wants to be, that list is smaller. There are literally close to a hundred in the heights.
I said it was possible but tough near Grove ("in walk up territory" but "won't be many") and easier ("more availability") in the heights. That's a true statement.
The reaches people go to to correct people on this app is bizarre.
