Any negativity towards any group of people regardless of who they are is just I’ll mannered, disrespectful and gross, whether it be one specific group or many, it’s all rude and super frowned upon. Count me out

And then he double-downed on it 😂

What sort of upside down world do you live in? The new museum is going to help make Jersey City even more of a world class city. The Paris trip was worth it.

Racism is never okay even when the perpetrator is a minority.

Topical joke.

Lots of people have said so including me, that it is not cool.

Everything here is fine but it's not what would fix the situation (and what has happened since, to a degree): actually legalizing more housing, over the wishes of our friend, the OP of the tweet.

What's more, it has to happen on a regional and national level, against the resistance of "communities", i.e. a minority of busybody homeowners and parking-obsessed motorists who have endless energy and in many cases financial incentives to fight this.

EDIT: The fact is that Jersey City (and I realize you ran to represent more than just parts of JC) has done more than almost anywhere else in the country to support new public and social housing and the results have shown that this is still extremely problematic in practice.

The new Holland Gardens will still be trapped next to a traffic sewer which the governor is actually trying to make worse.

The city recently managed to turn a small mostly-Section 8 building into new Section 9 public housing- a building which only could be built in the first place because of JC's relatively permissive approach to development, and it was a complicated deal to do. We still have over 1,000 unused public housing units allowed and unbuilt.

Meanwhile, Jersey City has also been turning the old Honeywell site to a publicly-owned social housing complex- on the wrong side of a highway where there were no neighbors to complain. Where, other than driving, the main way to get out will be a light rail extension run by a hostile NJ Transit that does not care how slow trains get and has already cut frequencies dramatically since the HBLR opened.

I didn't have any strong opinion on you until I saw that tweet.

And was born with melanin in case you were wondering.

They made inroads in places like San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and other traditional democratic strong holds...even if they didn't win the midterms....but some how the Republican party isn't as dead as one would think. And we haven't even mentioned that they have made huge inroads with the Latin/Spanish communities.

Hang out at the Path station in Journal Square with my headphones and a bag of chips and watch the world go by.

Seems like a no-name politician wannabe retweeted a no-name Twitter troll’s mildly racist NIMBY bullshit. And now we’re mad.

He’s always been a clown. The funniest thing is I remember when he was trying to primary sires and clearly trying to come off like NJ’s AOC and people would ask him about it he’d get offended and bewildered by the question like that wasn’t EXACTLY what he was trying to do

Nothing just talk

You’ve made it abundantly clear you already had a negative opinion of me, so pardon if I don’t put much weight into the words of naysayers.

Love, a random person who doesn’t live in JC & isn’t running for office.

If he has a problem with gentrification, it should be in the fact that many poor and middle class people are displaced by it. Not that the affected cities "used to be cool".

The folks commenting on this thread had their (overtly negative) opinion of me solidified regardless of what I do or don’t Retweet.

By all means. Everyone should be involved more. But your retweets are harmful to the cause. T#### is a private citizen and can say whatever the f they want. People still associate you with the Progressive movement and you make it look like a s**t flinging contest.

Love, voting taxpayer

What is the context of this? I’m completely out of the loop.

Opinions like this just make me get involved more.

Interested!

Also interested and would love to be included if you start one!

Ooooh, someone’s butthurt…

So you’re saying you don’t have any plans for 2024? Good. Elena is a decent candidate, affiliation with you doesn’t do her any favors. Having said that, I generally agree with your position. I just don’t think you can pull off any changes for Jersey community.

Also: if you don’t have any plans to run in the future, why don’t you change your Twitter info to “Private citizen who is totally entitled to his opinion that will not affect NJ politics”? Your failed 2020 campaign website is still featured there.

It's a shame it needs to be said, but since almost no one else in the entire thread has said it, it's not OK to be bigoted against white people. This statement should disqualify Mr. Oseguera from any future political office.

White people should be able to take a joke about bland food imo. The real reason this tweet sucks is because it’s begging for disinvestment instead of proposing a responsible middle ground between NIMBYism and YIMBYism that embraces New Urbanism while protecting long term residents
