Calling this SoHo west is the most embarrassing real estate strategy.

it’s because Jersey City has the largest tax base in NJ - meaning we are the wealthiest city and the state expects Jersey City to pay for their own children’s education therefore removing its aid

The payroll tax schools be abolished.
Tax, tax, tax. Why is no one asking why it costs $35,000 to educate a student for one year?

While at it, let’s just rename Downtown JC to “Shi Tpa Town”

Yeah, he's our State Senator too! If this whole thing is Stack's doing, you'd think he wouldn't screw most of his constituents.

Ditto. I’ve taken to calling it “ WeNe” (west of Newport)

We are definitely getting a tax increase from the City - How else can it buy ferries and French museums? The City should do a better job collecting the Payroll Tax https://hudsoncountyview.com/after-urging-of-odea-jersey-city-to-investigate-88-regent-st-payroll-tax-payments/

JKF subway to connect bayonne thru North Bergen that connects at JSQ to NYC bound path. I believe this would help balance development throughout the city going forward.
Also NYC bound path trains going to high speed rail, exponentially increasing capacity/decreasing travel time

I've used them, and aside from some occasional delays, they're fine.

I know someone who was involved in the MTA contract for the omny chip reading tech. Originally, PATH and the MYA were both on board and this would have been a reality. PATH obviously pulled out, apparently because they wanted it cheaper. Yet here we are…

Install card chip readers instead of swiping cards in those ticket machines at PATH/MTA.

Jersey City has 4 times the population of Union City and gets $93M less in aid from the state. Can someone tell me what makes Union City so special?

They budget out for shrink. Most profitable stores have a decent budget for losses. If they want to replace them, it comes out of that budget.
I'm not openly condoning, relieving Home Depot of their overpriced and fisherprice quality tools. I'm only saying that if someone whisked away all the power tools from every home depot, I wouldn't lose any sleep.
