Between the insane traffic, lack of parking for those who live here and now situations like this it's only a matter of time before there is a deadly confrontation. Jersey is now a Carry conceal State. One day this shit is going to blow over and it's going to be ugly.

Not to sound insensitive but being at a funeral does not give you the right to block an entire street. What if there was an emergency in one of the houses? Has anyone spoken to the church? That would be the first step.

You should get your facts straight, private towing companies cannot tow cars from the street, not even from in front of your driveway. It has to be on PRIVATE PROPERTY! IIRC this isn't the first time you've given this erroneous advice.

Do you honestly think that the PD has no power over cars parked in the roadway? They are blocking lanes of travel. It’s not a parking violation - this is a traffic violation. The PA could be expected to participate if PD did anything, but this is not an overdue meter situation and it’s not their job. It is another clear indictment of the useless dolts wandering around in police cosplay.

That’s such an insane response from the police.

If a fire broke out in one of the buildings on that block, it’s easy to see how having all those cars blocking the street would impair the fire department’s ability to respond in a timely manner.

The PATH has some kind of "commuter council" that regularly addresses concerns, and I'm sure NJ Transit might have something similar but I haven't been using their services enough to see any ads pertaining to that as I did on the PATH. I can't really say that the Jersey City local level government has any control over either agency, but they probably have some influence if someone was able to put together a plan that doesn't hike taxes or do some other sort of harm.

Might be wrong here, but didn't JC make the decision to separate parking enforcement jurisdiction from JCPD to Jersey City Division of Parking? If that is the case, can JCPD even do anything if they wanted to?
