You could have canceled the event, you didn’t, and then you allowed scripted videos to be filmed on your rooftop. You aren’t genuinely sorry. You know exactly who you are working with.

Take a look at the most recent posts. They allowed filming on their roof for videos featuring kids and people with scripts. 902 Brewing isn’t innocent - they know exactly what they did.

Take a look at the latest from 902 Brewery - their “public event” turned into a filmed event featuring scripted videos. Sounds like a great propaganda event from our “friends” at 902! https://www.reddit.com/r/jerseycity/comments/12048a2/event_related_to_liberty_state_park_development/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1

These lists are always totally arbitrary.

  1. There aren't 100 cities even worth talking about in the US, especially with passable transit or walkability.
  2. I'd rather be in Jersey City than the 70 other car-infested, parking-lot-plagued, zero-food-diversity cities.

I do think the letter grades are accurate except for crime and housing.

Crime in JC is honestly not that bad for a city of it's size. There are cities this size with armed robberies, gang shootings, murders, etc everyday. Those happen here too but much more rarely. Should be like a B.

Housing is mixed. You can't really compare cities that are 90% suburban single family homes to a city like JC. Downtown JC is expensive but downtown is ONE part of JC. The rents elsewhere are cheaper than I've seen out in Morristown. Not to mention, regardless of complaints JC builds a ton of housing. We build the most in the country after Austin. Really their complaints were related to COL, which they have a grade for already. Housing w/o considering cost, but just availability, is pretty decent here.


All that said if you value nature and greenspace this ain't it (can list lots of cities that blow any east coast city out of the water). Otherwise, having been to lots of other cities, JC is pretty good overall. And not just downtown.

Latest: 902 Brewing u/brewedinjerseycity is allowing filmed videos on their rooftop, in which people have scripts and are filming propaganda: https://www.reddit.com/r/jerseycity/comments/12048a2/event_related_to_liberty_state_park_development/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1

This absolutely proves this is more than just a public forum, but is an official organized use of the space by Paul Fireman and his team. It’s clear their claims of innocence are bullshit.

Aww that’s awesome! So you toured in person? Did you also tour Solaris Lofts? We can’t visit in person so I’m trying my best to get a good sense of what we should ultimately choose! Hope to cross paths with you and the fam!

I live near Grove Street Path. There are no shortage of good breweries nearby I frequent. Torch and crown, other half (3 locations), Grimm, interboro, ect. They are all a train ride away.

And in the warmer weather you can bike the Williamsburg bridge to OH Domino! Really nice ride.

And they all have cans in the area. Just go to cool vines or jersey wine and spirits. So will def support them that way as well.

For a more hyper "local" brewery -- we are walking distance from departed soles. Great ownership. And they are dog friendly.

But will def not be supporting 902 moving forward. It's a hard no for me.

Wow this is incredibly helpful! I just looked at Solaris as that didn’t come up when I was searching. Seems to be a bit more expensive but will definitely check it our per your recommendation! Thank you so much!

Ive lived in this area for 4 years and 3 of those were through residency! I love the Bergen-Lafayette area. I lived in the Solaris building for 3 yrs and personally really loved it as a resident. (moved because I wanted to upgrade from my studio apartment and they didnt have any 1beds for me to rent). I was able to sleep during the day when i was on overnight shifts and they were very nice about accommodating me if there was ever something being done in the building that didnt work with my weird day/night flips. (example, there was some random day where they were doing fire alarm inspections or something and needed to access every unit for about 1min to check the alarm. Originally was scheduled for a day and time I had planned to be asleep from an overnight shift and they moved it to let me sleep). That particular building I felt has better washer dryers and bathroom set up then 295J (bigger on both counts). There is also the BeLa building across from it that is also very sound proof per my conversations with neighbors. It's concrete and metal so little noise from neighbors. Likewise also a bigger bathroom/washer dryer then 295J. Not that I think there is anything wrong with 295J, they are the bigger of the 3 buildings discussed, just playing devils advocate in case you were looking for other ideas in the exact same location. 295J has units that will face the Liberty State Park Lightrail station so you will be able to see your car if you park in the lot there. Yes, you can park overnight, there is a 24h security car that roams around all the time and there is monthly parking available for there. Very rare occasion they ask you to move your car for something like 4th of july when they need the space, otherwise it always has cars in it. Personally my priority when I picked a building to live in during residency was 'can I sleep here during the day' but everyone has their own priorities. Hope that helps a bit!

I know exactly who you’re talking about. He’s also often on the lightrail asking for money. He even went as far as grabbing my arm and shoulder on two separate occasions.
