Hospital ERs have bad reviews because nobody wants to have to go to an emergency room. There are also a lot of people who go to emergency rooms for non emergency needs. Like obviously those people are gonna have to wait until the people who are dying get treated first

Yeah, if you’re paying that much on rent on Bergen after Communipaw. You’re definitely left hold the bag

Shocked but sadly not surprised.

A new build Bayonne Box further out got $3400 but also had parking, which pushes the rental price higher. Average is just over $2700 for a 3/2. For a new build, $3k is pretty standard.

You can disagree with politics without shitting on people's physical looks. It doesn't elevate an argument to say "and your ugly too", atleast outside of high school. I don't like her politics nor her hit and run and the law enforcement response but that's just going into the dirty with someone you think is dirty.

You should venture into JC and see if you like it.

Look at her hands. Alcoholic hepatitis causes swelling in the extremities. Just saying.

Wow who’s paying 3k for West Bergen area?

I personally wouldn’t jump on a place around that specific area unless you are able to rent it at 1700 or less and still pay it off in 15yrs. If paying market price, Get closer to Montgomery, and don’t cross Communipaw from Bergen. Also, that is not close to Lincoln Park. If you want a property with park access, stay close to westside since it a bus line, and before Communipaw. Another thing, Oxford is no where close to the Redevelopment of the “westside”. If you want to be on that trend, then get close to Malory/westside around Culver/Claremont.

Just based on spotcrime, it appears relatively dangerous. There have been few shootings near that block in the morning and at night, as well quite a few near the light rail stop, just within the last few months. It should be less of an issue if you drive more. If it's an investment, the crime may taper down as the westside becomes more gentrified, but it's not changing that quickly. I don't live down there though.

Shea had the ability to hire and fire dispatchers at his own discretion. The same company that Shea has selected to do 3 studies on the dispatch department also conveniently offer private dispatch services.

This same company was in charge of the search and eventual hiring of Shea as the public safety director. This reeks of corruption.

How is Fulop claiming the problem isn’t understaffing? I’d like to hear his argument… the core of the problem is understaffing (and probably under paying… people not paid well don’t work so well)

Snowapocalypse washington dc?

Hi, love this idea and would be interested in joining!

No, but she wasn't born an alcoholic.

Lmaooo

Nice, another comment where you don't provide a substantive argument while also mischaracterizing my comments as "opinion" even though everything I've asserted is easily provable.

Enjoy your bubble.

A lot of the firm statements you're presenting as facts are your opinion. So I will just state that on my side, I am agreeing to disagree. You can continue to rant but we're going to keep our own perspectives at the end of the day so save yourself the time. Cheers.

> Or are you counting every single student in the city, each in different institutions with different privatized security companies?

You objectively think that every single institution within one city limit all have different privatized security companies? Dude, come on..... at least try to be objective in this conversation.

>Universities being used as a comparison point was as I said before- apples and oranges

Okay, thanks for your opinion. IXP, the private company in discovery for this solution, also does work with college campuses

So weird how the same private security company provides the same, or similar solution, to different entities but because it doesn't fit your narrative you like to just gloss over it entirely.

>believe that CITY SERVICES should be privatized. My opinion.

Okay, and I agree in the case when city services are being handled effectively. But we can both agree that it is objectively not being handled effectively right now, and I would encourage you to do any semblance of research of what the lift would be (money, time, & personnel) to build and/or revitalize an in-house solution as compared to contracting it out.

The solution needs to happen NOW. Not in 3-4 years by the time they can get an in-house solution running effectively.

If JC had the wherewithal they could contract this out to IXP, spend those years gathering insights and then concurrently build their in-house solution.

>there's a lot of corruption in JC government and money isn't being properly allocated

This can be true AND it be true that JC doesn't have the wherewithal to handle this internally. This has been an ongoing problem for decades. This isn't going to be handled in-house overnight effectively, for the same reason you list.

But an accredited private organization that has independent case studies of its efficacy can and has worked in the past. Hard stop.

😂

Catty... I approve!

“First they came for the hit & run drivers and called them bad names. But I did nothing”.......because I’m not a scumbag hit & run driver.

I tend to agree. Unfortunately for Amy it's what's on the inside that counts.

Water charges which most landlords pay, especially on smaller non 'luxury' buildings, has increased 10 fold as well in the last year.
