Because it doesn't do crossfit and prefers its members not do shitty workouts with greater chance of injury

I had a domestic violence incident in my home and they refused to remove me ex from my apartment even though she put her hands on me and was drunk / high out of her mind. Mind you, she broke my phone, harassed me the following morning and couldn’t even call them back.

Moving violations are against the driver (and thus assigns points to their licenses, if applicable), not the vehicle, as they are punishing the direct actions of the driver. Parking tickets are tied to the vehicle, thus don't need to find the driver, as they are specifically punishing the vehicle itself and how it has been parked.

Edit: Keep in mind, this is a little unique to JC. JCPD doesn't have jurisdiction over parking offenses, so the only thing they can give someone is a traffic ticket. Parking offenses are handed out by JC Division of Parking.

To be clear, I don’t think there are any concrete plans to refurbish the Powerhouse.

Removing the active equipment just makes it easier to refurbish (or demolish) the powerhouse down the road.

I bet that building will continue to sit there and rot for the foreseeable future. There are still empty lots in the area where it would be easier and cheaper for a developer to build something brand new from scratch than it would be to try to repurpose a massive old building.

I don’t know what proper procedure for this would be but you’d think at the least since it happened already the city should issue some sort of warning to the church and the funeral home.

It’s a shame that they probably won’t do anything and this will happen again.

You should definitely report it to the news.

This story checks out - and I’ve got my own. I used to live right down the block next to the day care. The church owns those small garages on 2nd street. I was standing in front of my apartment talking to neighbors, and a car is backing out of one of those small garages. That car suddenly accelerates and backs into my neighbors car and actually damaged the bumper - required body work to repair. We stare at the driver in disbelief this happened right next to us and he stares at us right back. I ask him to lower his window because he’s just staring at us blankly. He’s so out of it and I feel like he’s on drugs at this point. We get in an argument because he’s dismissing what he has just done and trying to blame my neighbor. He starts threatening us that he will call the cops (???) and my response is “Okay thank you!” as my neighbor is calling the police. This driver suddenly walks away from the vehicle when he realizes we are actually calling the cops. I’m amped up and start following him. Low and behold he walks right to the church and into the building the priests live. He’s in there for 5 minutes, comes back out suddenly and walks back to the car. He drives the car into the garage, gets out, leaves garage door open, and then runs away.

Im convinced he had something on him he had to go drop off before police arrived. I’ve got photo proof and even the church confirmed that was their PRIEST!

Edit: forgot to mention he ran away before the police arrived! Priest ran away from scene of his crime! Unbelievable!!

No high rise. But there will be a small building housing transformers for the PATH that's supposed to "blend into the neighborhood". Once they do that, they're taking down the old transformers in the Powerhouse. Then, they can start refurbishing it. This has been a very long time coming.

>you can’t limit people’s access to downtown without improving public transit infrastructure.

Here we are in a post about people choosing to drive and park in the center of the street for a location within walking distance to both the path and the lightrail and you're saying the cause is lack of public transit. Both of those transit systems that can easily get people to this Church have stations that are park and ride focused.

The reality is these people had transit options and just chose to drive instead. The reality is most of downtown is accessible by transit. Driving through downtown is a choice. JerseyCityGeordie just wants that choice to reflect the cost of the land it requires. Especially since not everyone can afford a car so why should they be subsidizing the cost of parking for other people?

If some people parked in the middle of the road by Union Square in the city would you say "Well maybe their trip didn't originate directly next to a subway stop so the blame is on the public transit system?" Or would you at least agree that would be a crazy thing to say? This isn't that far off from that heighten example. This is a location that people can get to without cars.

>It’s classist and shitty to the rest of JC.

What should we call parking in the middle of the road?
