I am better at reading than you are at writing. You are trying to say people who live downtown near a path don’t have these issues. I am pointing out this photo is literally downtown, near a path you fucking idiot. I don’t care if you were born and raised here (you definitely weren’t) I just want dumb people to leave, you are a dumb person, so I would like you to leave the city.

You’re quite the fucking moron aren’t you? Do you think anyone is working on improving the road or parking situation? You could be the dumbest person on Reddit. Please fuck off to Florida or Texas where you belong.

If the church/funeral director is telling them to park like this it's because he or she knows the cars won't be ticketed.
The issue here is a failure to enforce basic laws.
Does this church have a relationship with the police force or within the city government?

I think this might be the funeral notice:

>It’s almost like my comment was a reply to someone demanding we ban cars from downtown in general?
As I already said that's not true.
Since the post is there for us all to read we can see that what he said was:
>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.
Nowhere in his post is he arguing for banning cars.
>It’s okay - reading can be hard for some people :)
The irony.

Awww it’s cute that you really believe anyone in charge is working on improving public transit instead of slowly chipping away at it :)

You see all those side mirrors sticking out? I would’ve introduced them to the bottom of my boot.

>when my comment is replying to someone demanding all cars be banned from downtown forever.
Actually what he said was:
>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.
No where in his post is he arguing for banning cars.
Not sure why you would lie about that when the post is right there for me to scroll back up and see.

It is indeed silly to think I’m only talking about public transit access as it pertains to this one individual situation when my comment is replying to someone demanding all cars be banned from downtown forever.

>wait 30 minutes for the weekend lightrail to run their errands if they deign to enter the downtown bubble.
You might want to check the calendar if you think today is a weekend.
But if the alternative is parking cars in the center of a street, blocking all traffic, and then leaving the cars there for an extended period of time then yes people should be taking public transit to a place within walking distance to both the path and the lightrail.
How long did this guy (and anyone else) have to wait as he was boxed in by illegally parked cars?

It really puts the JC entitlement spin on it - any normal person who paid for funeral home services would be rightfully pissed this is how it was managed. Instead they are just mad that they can’t freely block access to public roads/cars/emergency services without people getting annoyed?

Winner winner.
JC is quite wealthy when many others aren’t.
Those funds were abused for years. JC should have had reduced subsidies starting around 2010.
The state warned for years, but nobody took it serious.

My key would have looked very colorful if I walked by this. Can you imagine a fire happening? The entire block would be done

To be clear this issue happened here That's a 7 minute walk to a lightrail stop and a 6 minute walk to a path stop. It'd be pretty silly to try to say anyone needed to drive to this location unless they were the ones transporting the coffin. People getting to this location can always drive to a lightrail or path stop that does have a ton of parking like the LSP light rail stop or the Harrison path stop.
Of course parking in actual spots in lots by those stations is going to cost more than just leaving cars in the center of the street for free.

Why not? There used to be several lines through Hudson county including the heights. You can still see the rails through the pavement in some places. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Hudson_County_Railway

Police can only ticket the driver. You're right that PD can totally just ticket them for obstructing traffic, but that means you'd have to wait until the driver comes back at who knows when and then ticket them. Multiply by 10-15 cars? That's a lot of time just spent sitting around on tax payer money waiting for the drivers.
Edit: This is specific to JC, as JCPD cannot hand out parking tickets, only traffic tickets.

> “we are from jersey city, we can seriously fuck you up”.
Was this one of those funerals where everyone was wearing screen-printed t-shirts of the deceased with a caption like: “FRANKIE GONE TO HEAVEN”

Right, I'm not saying I'd act like these people, but I'd probably have some agita both from the funeral itself and from being worried about my car being parked in the middle of the street because someone told me that's where I should park when I arrived.

The photo in this post is from downtown, 3 minutes from a path station. You’re a fucking moron.

Your lives are already difficult from what it sounds like. If you’re not complaining about public transportation, you’re complaining about parking. When more people regularly take public transportation (not just during rush hour), public trans will have more $$ to make it better.

Amazing that you did all this and still missed the point - you can’t limit people’s access to downtown without improving public transit infrastructure. It’s classist and shitty to the rest of JC.
