I still don’t get the “outrage.” Seems like these are business trips for the future JC location with museum organization. If anything shouldn’t we be happy tax dollars weren’t spent?

wattle cafe at 351 Marin blvd is excellent. Never busy ( in the cafe area) plenty of outlets, variety of seating. Pretty too. The quality of drinks and food leaves some to be desired, but I mean you can’t have it all.

If you're immunocompromised, you're vulnerable to many diseases, not just Covid. Source: was immunocompromised for a long time due to medications.

Why does OP only care about Covid protocols? There are many other pathogens that spread via all sorts of means. It's much safer to workout outdoors or at home.

Kettle bells, resistance bands, etc. are cheap and effective for home workouts. Plus it actually keeps you safe instead of giving you the illusion you're safe. Covid spread through my kid's school despite the strictest rules (open windows in winter, full masking).

"Gifts" of a certain size are often considered unethical and give the appearance of impropriety.

HEPA filters are not nearly as effective as condoms lol.

Condoms are close to 100% effective if used correctly but even the best HEPA is not gonna do shit if some sick guy coughs near you.

What you're doing is equivalent to doing oral sex instead of penetrative sex thinking that it will save you from STDs. Sure your risks are lower, but it's still significant.

Then stay home!

You can't be like "I really can't afford to bring covid home" but wanna go to public gyms/supermarkets/restaurants/work places.

A HEPA filter helps but it's not even close to being as effective as a "condom against gonorrhea" like you said. You will be exposed to plenty of viruses and bacteria (not just Covid) in a gym regardless.

Meta gym studios in JSQ. You can rent the gym by the hour

It's not impossible but the spots that tend to be open are the ones with street cleaning the next morning, so you'll have to make sure to move your car at a certain time if you wfh or don't leave by a certain time. Does get harder to find parking during the evening time as well like everyone else stated. Ended up renting a spot in someone's driveway just for the piece of mind to not have to worry about the headache of looking for a parking spot. As an aside, I remember visiting Philly not too long ago and thought the parking was atrocious and I'm originally from NYC myself. Welcome to the Heights if you do happen to move here!

This is a nothing burger

Can vary block-by-block but I live close to Riverview and I found parking so completely frustrating to the point where I gave my car to my parents (who live in the burbs). So many curb cuts and the 4x/week street cleaning made it such a pain. I now walk / take the bus for everything and it’s fine.

u/jahooodie thank you for reminding me there are still reasonable and kind people in the world

At least. They just approved a gigantic charter school complex for Bergen Lafayette. That's going to cost a holy fortune, and charter schools use public school money.

Omelette du fromage!!!

According to the article it was privately funded. So why do we care? Genuinely curious (pls don’t downvote).

While true, they’re trying risk mitigation not eliminating it completely.

This existed in a less public way pre COVID, if that’s what you’re on about. Do you have no realtives that have gotten organ transplants, had chemo, ect? Risk mitigation is part of their lives around public germs

I guess they have deals better than what their website says. 100/mo is still far too much for me, but far better than 144

They’re not afraid of the world, they’re trying for risk mitigation. It’s okay dudes

gaia and loki is a vegan place with really good food, chill vibes and no one bothers you

Yeah JC which is us footing the bill for this stupid museum.

"In exchange for access to the Pompidou’s expertise and 120,000 artworks, the city has agreed to shoulder renovation costs that could exceed $40 million. It’s also on the hook for another $6 million annually* over the course of its five-year contract to cover project development, branding, educational programming, and the organization of exhibitions. Fulop told Curbed that his administration is also looking to purchase an adjoining property, which could roughly double the size of the Pompidou. No cost was given for the proposed expansion.

But some longtime residents and local legislators have balked at the price. “Everyone agrees that the Pompidou is an extraordinary asset for Jersey City,” said Rolando Lavarro, a city councilman. “But we just raised a levy on homeowners because we didn’t have the money for school funding. How can we then bring more financial debt to the table for a museum?” He, like other city officials, only learned of the news through an announcement in the New York Times. For Lavarro, the decision to announce the new museum without any discussion with the City Council looked like a tactic to drum up public support for the project before its costs could be scrutinized"
