Character is determined by how you behave when you think no one is watching. Says a lot about these people, but they probably already accept that they're a$$h0les.

The dog is actually lost. Someone tried to scam owner by saying they have the dog when they didn’t really.

for further context - I know you're supposed to call 911/take an ambulance for that, but I was not SURE if I was just overreacting and I live a 5-7 min walk from JCMC

All I know is when I went to JCMC with chest pain/pressure at midnight, thinking I may be having a heart attack bc I knew I had high blood pressure, I ended up waiting for hours to be seen -- thank god it wasn't a heart attack.

Congratulations on winning the argument you created in your head I guess?

I Don’t think anyone decided its ok its just a bunch of people who don’t care because there is no consequences for their laziness. Getting caught by someone who can actually fine you is extremely unlikely

Scammers find these ads and google images that match the dog. Then they demand money through burner phones and keep demanding it even though they don’t actually have the animal. After a paid phone # look up, the dognapper’s number had been reported for several of the same scams/threats. It’s unfortunately common :(

JC has the worst dog poop problem of any city I’ve been to. It’s disgusting.
SF has more human poop on the ground, but at least it’s usually not smack dab in the middle of the sidewalk where you might accidentally step in it.

Thanks, I was looking for a map like this the other day.
Certain people on here love to make up their own facts about things like this because they have an ax to grind.
By the way, it’s been well established that there’s a strong positive correlation between voter participation levels and income, so I’m not surprised to see that downtown has relatively high voter turnout levels.
Higher income people are also more likely to engage with their local elected leaders, which explains why downtown often gets “nice” things earlier than the rest of the city. Things like protected bike lanes, the pedestrian plaza, etc. are a direct result of people lobbying their council person for improvements.
It is true that homeowners tend to have higher voter participation rates than renters, but I suspect that downtown (not including Newport) also has a higher homeownership rate than other less affluent parts of the city. The Census bureau has this data, but I’m typing this on my phone and they don’t seem to have a convenient way to query this data at a census tract level using a mobile browser.

To be fair, he has always been a political puppet. Not very bright and easily manipulated by the Hudson county machine.

That’s the neat thing… the kids still get the same shitty schools, and the superintendents get pay increases
