Reply to Area around Lincoln Park by [deleted]
West Bergen is a good investment. Proximity to light rail as well as the TON of new developments coming to the Westside and to 440, including Bayside makes the area a good bet, IMO.

3/2 rents should go for $3k for a new build with washer/dryer.

Ummm which Boston university has 346k students? Philly? Or are you counting every single student in the city, each in different institutions with different privatized security companies?
Anyway that's not my overall point- I don't personally (again- my opinion) believe that CITY SERVICES should be privatized. My opinion. Universities being used as a comparison point was as I said before- apples and oranges. We can keep going down this rabbit hole but as I said before, we're comparing a private institution with a city. And my actual overall point is there's a lot of corruption in JC government and money isn't being properly allocated, and it's (AGAIN MY OPINION) that this should be fixed rather than hired out. You're welcome to disagree. Cheers.

This subreddits hate boner for this woman had gone out of control. Comments like this are absolutely unhinged. If you want to criticize her for a hit and run that’s fine but commenting on her age and appearance is extremely low rent.

Reply to what's your preferred hospital to go to? by MsDemiBurch
JCMC is the main hospital so it will always be crowded. I would try Hoboken or the JCMC annex in Bayonne. Christ would be another option in an emergency situation.

Boston has 346k students, Philly has 342k students. Almost every college institution in America has privatized security. Ergo, all of these students are covered by privatized security.
edit-- mind you, this privatized security isn't EXCLUSIVELY for students but staff and others are covered as well

There are 283k people in Jersey City. Please tell me of a university with that kind of enrollment.

Do you work in the real world?
When there is an issue with ADP, Workday, Paychex, etc. that are all privatized SAAS payroll systems the control failure is on the company itself and how they instituted the software.
>He said the police had a number of special units that made use of a finger punch system, confusing the software since many officers were punching in from places other than those anticipated.
This isn't an issue with the software, but how it was set up by Jersey City officials.
edit:
I further think you lack the wherewithal of reality to boast that something isn't working because of a handful of cases amongst tens of thousands of instances of it working properly, while all of these exceptions of it not working occurred at the onset of this software being implemented.

Something of note here is that living in NYC would mean also paying the 4% city tax on income. $3200/month in Jersey City is therefore a little more affordable than $3200/month in NYC proper. Still, I agree with your point about cultural differences between Jersey and NYC.

>small/private institutions as a comparison point for a 911 dispatch system
Virtually every university in America uses privatized security, including ones that have a larger footprint than most cities in America. Not sure if srs.

Stop judging a woman in power based on her looks. She looks perfectly normal for a woman who hasn’t done plastic surgery and works a stressful job helping ungrateful constituents.

Why are you so hurt by my comment? This person won’t have a hard time finding what they are looking for in those areas so was layering in more detail. Wasn’t a personal affront bud

I regret not buying as well. I agree with you about the trajectory of JC, but the unfortunate truth is the price increases right now feel like price gouging, the same kinds of price gouging we saw with groceries, gas, etc over the last few years.
I doubt the rising costs of an apartment were solely due to the costs of managing a building, and rather the desire to simply squeeze more and more out of the customers.

I met Chico once, I think between the crash and his resignation, or shortly after the latter. He was drinking alone and got very, very drunk.

Crazy she's only 37. Aging very poorly for someone who's had everything handed to her on a silver platter her entire life. Yikes.

This is why people need to vote and stop putting up with corruption. I sometimes wonder if people are just fine with their taxes doing nothing. Except for the fire department, I feel like they do a lot.

Alas this is how capitalism works. You squeeze and get higher margins anywhere you can.
Interest rates were the other huge driver. Many other portfolio buildings for these owners are commercial properties on floating rate debt that they are deeply underwater on. So they're probably trying to make up for it where they can.
