I just listed some nice to have things. The main thing is being central to those three locations and safe enough to have a car to park/ bike in mornings. Budget is probably around $2000-2400 if it has laundry in building or unit. PATH is not necessary. I have lived in New Haven, CT for two years and briefly lived in Washington Heights so am definitely familiar with how things are different.

What's your budget? "Budget" + Nice + Space + Room for car + closer to PATH + Bike into JC is a hard list of requirements. What are the need to haves vs the nice to haves?

Jersey City Heights might be a fit. It's not super close to the PATH, parking is a pain in the ass, but it is more reasonable than downtown, it's safe, and you can find a place with a yard if that's what you mean by space.

Fireman has pushed this BS that if he can expand his golf course for bullionares he can also expand his First Tee program.

The First Tee program already exists or existed (I'm not sure where it stands) and he has billions of dollars to expand it/restart if he really wanted to. He also has the land to do it. He doesn't need more land.

Note this is nothing new. They have been pushing these opinion pieces for many many years.

Preventing privatization was a gigantic win for our community! This has been such a long road to victory.

I am amazed that the big selling point is a new stadium for high school football? I'm sure some football families care, but when we already have other facilities for this, why exactly do we need to give up greenspace for a new stadium?

"Other communities have better stadiums!" has to be the least impressive reasoning I've seen for this scale of development. Why not just upgrade the existing JC facility if you truly cared and wanted to waste a bunch of money?

Well, that's the lie, right? Richard Smith claims that those of us who oppose the People Park plans also oppose any work being done in the park, and that simply isn't true.

If what the state has indicated is true, we're going to be getting some nice ball fields, restored wildlife habitat, and miles and miles of new trails because they'll have remediated the contaminated interior.
