Love to live downtown in my 4K one bedroom on top of a path stop and then demand people who were born and raised here give up their car and wait 30 minutes for the weekend lightrail to run their errands if they deign to enter the downtown bubble.

what public transit? the kind that was all ripped up in the last 60 years? The overcrowded PATH train, the light rail that moves at a virtual walking pace through downtown and barely serves large swaths of the city?

They should focus on making public transit enticing and affordable so people feel comfortable going car free.

When people demand JC residents give up their cars it shows there is such a huge blind spot for the rest of the city’s limited public transit access. You’re asking people to voluntarily make their lives more difficult and just trust JC to eventually improve public transit options when we can’t even trust them to keep roads functional.

Hi, I’m the gf. That red car, was the lady who said I was trying to hit her car 😂 glad her license plate isn’t blurred. She started yelling at me in her car. So I stared at her and sat in my car calmly waiting for her to drive off so I can just leave. She decided to get out her car (along with the passenger in her car) started yelling at me. So I got out my car and yelled back. Then everyone started coming out. Another lady came and put her hands on my car, started hitting the hood. My bf saw it and ran over to tell her to stop and to leave. They said “it’s a funeral, give us some respect” I yelled at them, pointed to the whole street and told them “this is disrespectful, people have shit to do” Lol some guy said “we are from jersey city, we can seriously fuck you up”
I’m not one who likes fights like this. I was so annoyed that I started yelling “drive, just drive, drive” and proceed to dial 911. This whole thing wouldn’t of started if that lady in the red car didn’t make it a big deal, cuz at the end of the day. I didn’t hit her car and I just needed to get to work after being already an hour and a half late waiting for them to end their funeral.

Jersey City needs a congestion fee for out of town drivers. They need to increase the cost for a permit to drive more people to get rid of the cars that they don’t need and use public transportation (we obviously need better public transportation as well). They need to increase parking fines and increase the number of cars that are towed.

If you don’t like city driving and parking issues, take you and your car out to the burbs where you belong.
