Bad natural lighting but everything else is nice

No difference as of yet. but going to the city council meetings, there is growing support across the city… it’s a legit problem. I can elaborate on what I know, and how to get involved, and I actually need to check up on some info councilman Solomon’s office was supposed to get us about the Newport area.

LUXURY OPTIONS

I am not sure how this comment is useful when its already been commented that the tax increase is a few percentage points of the total rent increase based on calculations and does not justify the rent gouging.

The further east the better

Check out Modera Lofts. Those apartments actually have some character and the amenities are nice.

>Urby is like 2 blocks from exchange place path station? Are we talking about different urbys?

It's like an 8 minute walk from the PATH. Not bad but Columbus is 1-2 minute. Plus Grove street goes to both WTC and 33rd. Urby to Newport is like 12 minutes or something to get the 33rd line.

I guess i said it's far because im comparing it to columbus which is literally right next to path. I updated the post on this.

What kind of sicko watches episodes past season 9.

When whole foods opens in twelve years you'll also have good access to that, if you're in this for the long haul.

Also, sprove sucks. They tried to sell me a watermelon for 27 dollars. Haven't been back since.

Wow great eye!

They aren’t telling you the full story. Year over year it’s about 20% from 2021 to 2022 from the budget I’ve seen for door staff in my building. And still short staffed because you make way more if you take a job across the river, and there’s a ton of openings there.

You should do the right/ethical thing and suggest they job hunt then, because they can do way better in this economy.

Oh, I was worried metrocards were phased out. I still have a ton of money on mine because I always flush out excess commuter benefit money to it before it expires. Looks like I need to get me an OMNY card.

LUXURY HOUSING

ShopRite, when the walls fell.

Renters are now in the same unhappy boat with homeowners who have been hit with big property tax increases. It stinks for everyone involved. The wailing will be deafening, but nobody cares. The never-ending stream of people with more money to burn are waiting to replace you, and they will consider your rent a bargain. ☹️

doh!

It works at WTC

For PATH people should be using the PATH card because it is discounted the more trips you load.

All of the MTA has tap to pay (OMNY) now, so there is no reason to have an MTA card. Even the argument for unlimited goes out the window because the tap to pay system gives you free rides after your 12th anyway.

So there's actually no reason for someone in NJ to have an MTA card, there's no benefit.

In all honesty i am very friendly with the handyman and porters as i have lived here for few years and their wages have not gone up 20% or 40% from what they tell me. Infact they laid off staff during the pandemic and have since not hired the same number of them back to service the building . Even if some hourly inceases are factored in it still does not justify the monthly price increases of 20-25%

Yea... I thought it was clear I met tapping for MTA you can use the PATH card and no MTA card for NYC. There's no advantage for doing otherwise, since PATH discounts using its own card and not the MTA card, and for NYC you cant do unlimited on PATH.

The rest of us, our eyes red, with sails unfurled.

I tried that with the machines at the PATH stations at Grove and Journal Square but it didn’t work. It was on those MetroCard only machines.
