Noise issues, dark, barn doors for some rooms.

Right.., and the way they make good things is by taxing those with advantage and using it to expand those borders to incorporate more people. Not by letting the top couple percent hoard wealth and be exclusionary as you propose we continue.

Just admit it: you’re cheap and like benefitting off others even to the detriment of others.

>By living here you’re heavily subsidized, you just chose not to count it that way.

But that's exactly the way it should be. Governments should subsidize things that are better for their citizens (and economies and environments etc.).

waiting for the day when they cut the service a little bit and all of you non-payers bitch about how ”the light rail SUCKS! I would use it more if they had better service.”

Surprised this hasnt been downvoted like crazy

Sounds good, did you plead not guilty for one ticket and guilty for the other?

This the case where the teen punched a cop in the face and then the cop subdued him without using excessive force? Yah, this dad and his teen can eat shit.

It’s not based on where you live. It’s based on you already have access to the system funded by others and now need to contribute your share not only for usage but expansion.

Reality is you’re mostly subsidized by those who fly, drive and purchase stuff that came in through the ports.

It’s not like you’re paying your own way. By living here you’re heavily subsidized, you just chose not to count it that way.

I’m merely suggesting a small reduction in that subsidy based on income. While you’re suggesting continuing to subsist on the backs of others.

I guess, but two tickets in a day is obsessive.

That is obscene that they double ticketed you

You can do both at the same time. You should incentivize living near transit and tax the rich to build more. Taxing based on making the responsible choice to live near transit is crazy.

No. We’re using the rich to improve public transit in the region.

You’re not going to move over 1.5%. You’ll just cut a vacation down a few days. No big deal.

If it wasn't in his hand what is the problem?

Do you disagree? Are you saying that since the city isn’t doing what they’ve promised to do when it comes to maintaining the cleanliness of the street, you shouldn’t need to pay for transportation? (This is fair! If there’s basic services that people aren’t getting, then there’s obviously going to be lower inclination for residents to pay for other services, such as public transit). How can we get to the root of the problem ?

So you’re incentivizing people not to live in the more economically, environmentally sustainable areas?

Everyone knows that a small knife is extremely useful in helping little old ladies cross the street.

The sweeper passing 5 times a week on central and on west side should be considered theft and unethical, but they still do it. All while still leaving the streets dirty. Welcome to JC.

Kid fucked around and found out. Talking tough is one thing throwing the first punch is another. Adequate force was returned to him in swift fashion. Once he was subdued they didn’t keep throwing punches. Sucks he will get some sort of payout to shut them up, but at our expense.

Not necessarily, it's just a choice of how the system is paid for. A big advantage of free service is that it removes all of the costs associated with fare controls.

I’ve done this to meet a friend at the airport and get back on the bus with the same ticket on my phone

I’ve been on the light rail alot and no one has ever checked my ticket?? I have seen cops stop and ask to see your ticket when you get off in Hoboken.

Sorry to say but your reasearch is off. There are multiple properties on zillow in the area 1bed 1 bath for close to 500K and up (not much renovation needed) and 2 bed 2bath from 700K upwards based on when it was built and facilities

Imagine one of the wealthiest parts of the wealthiest states needs to hoard money rather than expand public transit to change that.

Take one less planet killing flight a year and help add a bus line to someplace in the state without one.
