It's not the same guy, from the 2 I'm thinking of. The fireman is a short filipino (?) dude who picked it up because no one else in the house was doing it for events/funerals, other one is a younger tall white guy.

For one, New Jersey has Mount Laurel Doctrine which basically requires all municipalities to plan for growth

You build it I'll book it

Thanks for doing the right thing! SO many people get the signs and don't put them up until the night before, or maybe even the morning of, and that's not cool.

Do you have a source? I was just assuming from observation and trends. In general suburbs have opposed 'transit oriented development' that increases density around commuter rail.

I grew up in a LI town 35 min from Penn with 2 LIRR stops, a cute little downtown, and zero multifamily development.

You should clarify Lowes meaning the theater, not the big box hardware store at the Hudson Mall

I know this is heresy to some on 2 counts, but there should be ball fields in LSP, and the Roberto Clemente Field on Grove & 6th should be a regular park with playgrounds, dog runs etc. It's a precious open space in the densest part of town being used by a privileged few in the 'Little League Mafia' that controls several JC parks. The user pressure on Hamilton Park is ridiculous, and we need more general parks.

At least some of the toxic "Badlands" of LSP could be remediated and turned into baseball and soccer fields. So much of that park is unused. This is not proposing the commercialization of LSP as some have justly derided, just a democratization of it's use, making it less passive and serving more people.

This exact location is honestly the reason why I started this thread. Over the past few years I’ve only seen them being used for little league a few weekends in summer.

Teddy's in. Good one.

Pershing Field baseball fields are seldom used and take up a large portion of the park. If they we’re constantly in use during baseball season I would have no gripe.

Teddy on the PATH

The real scam is Arcadia purports to be a generator of clean energy. In reality, they are purchasing Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) on your behalf - basically paying actual clean energy generators to generate the electricity they would have produced anyway.

I think they're the same guy. I think he has autism and they made him an honorary fireman. So yes, Bagpiper makes the cut for being a genuine freak.
The hustler is just a piece of shit and the BHGs are professionals, so no on those two I'm afraid.

Maybe??? I seem to remember that New Jersey suburban counties are quite far ahead of New York suburban counties in permitting housing.

To be fair, $24M is being spent by the State for the museum. The article doesn't say the remaining money is coming from, but usually there are corporate sponsors for this sort of thing. I agree there needs to be more transparency who is funding all these trips and remainder of the construction.

They’re not different markets, both are quite reasonable commutes to Manhattan. I live and work in Jersey City and have quite a few coworkers on Long Island. And a number of people move from Long Island to New Jersey (as a native Long Islander I know quite a few)

How about a statue of a shopping cart?

"LOL"

If I was the potential Democratic governor of NJ and i was flying to Paris with my core team on Jared Kushner's dime, I'd also try and keep it quiet.

There is a fireman dude who practices around Grove Street, at reasonable hours for that sort of thing. Then there is a younger dude that wanders about, spotted downtown & the heights.

I haven't seen or heard either in awhile though

That time they found a dead body in the Lincoln park pond is my first thought but if you go to the back part of the park where the big football field is, there’s a parking lot next to it before you get to the bridge. Next to the parking lot is a fenced in area with lots of cats that are cool to just sit and watch.

Yes they went up yesterday morning

There are a thousand things the city could do with $30million that would be more impactful than a museum but that’s just my opinion. The secrecy is very concerning. #FulofShitLop
