Not like JC/NYC, no :) A lot of Italian. There are more available to you in the surrounding cities, though, like Somerville & Morristown, and of course there are a lot of options as you drive further out.

No no I wasn’t calling you an idiot. Was making fun of the regularly occurring accidents with light rail trains. Apologies if it came off that way

Ha. I took this from the sidewalk. It's a camera gimmick on my phone.

It doesn't but it does cut through Warren St.

Title this “what an idiot sees once a month right before they or their car gets hit by the light rail”.
Edit: not making fun of the OP. Making a joke about the regular occurrence of accidents with these trains.

Reply to comment by twanzetters in Hi, me and my husband are looking out for a 1 (or 2) room apartment in and around grove street. Have heard terrible things about The Beacon so skipping the tour. Don’t want to pay over 3500$. Pls share suggestions if you guys have any. by [deleted]
OP is the type of people who fall for the marketing claims that the David Bowie Holland Tunnel Luxury Loft Lovers Neighborhood (DaBoHoTLLL'n as the locals call it) is part of the wondering Hamilton Park Neighborhood and "seconds" away from public transit and Downtown. OP please be aware!

This is similar to the stories people have posted here of groups of teens/kids robbing them with weapons on the waterfront/newport/back up 2nd street. Could be unrelated, but still that gnarly

I can see how my wording could make it seem like I think petty theft is tolerable. When I said “just a petty theft”, I was simply comparing it to lethal force, in terms of severity. We agree - we should not tolerate petty theft

Thank you so much for your response. I’m planning on going there and observing for a bit before I sign the lease. Really appreciate your response.

You don't pull a gun unless there is risk of death or serious physical harm, and you don't go instigating that over petty theft, so you're right it's better to let it go. The trouble is by tolerating petty theft today, it paves the road for more serious crimes tomorrow. I don't want to watch the JC waterfront slowly turn back into a place that isn't safe at night.

What did the cops do (assuming they showed up)?

Yes because making concealed carry legal isn’t going to increase illegal shootings at all. 🙄
It’s literally common sense. Move to Texas if you wanna live in a crimeless, gun filled utopia

You answer your awful premise directly, no. I’d rather we have a police force that did their job and prosecutors who did their jobs. Since that doesn’t exist, I, as a lawful and trained gun owner, should be allowed to defend myself in the instance of a robbery which is where this discussion started.

There will be a lot of train noise, but probably not much or any rail squeal in this area. Mostly just the wheels.
You might hear them when they blow their horn as they are about to exit the tunnel.

You really want to live in a society where anyone can hold lethal force at any time? What if you piss somebody off and they’re having a bad day? Look up road rage shootings by state. You really want to get lit up for cutting somebody off?

Lol the 20/20 hindsight. Because I don’t know what the attacker is packing or what they ultimately want. Police in JC don’t respond for days. What are you missing here.

Because it’s still gonna happen anyway, the threat of violence doesn’t prevent crime. In concealed carry states, crime still exists at similar rates to places without concealed carry. And also like….. it’s just a petty theft. Is property more important than life?

Reply to Future of JC transportation by Maleficent-Baby-1926
I wish there were better connections to get to other neighborhoods in Jersey City besides VIA. VIA most times is appalling how long it takes to wait for the next ride, up to 45 minutes and sometimes they get cancelled.
