Fluctuation in temperatures from year to year is completely normal. Heck the highest January temperatures on record were in 1931 and 1950.

Posts like these occur seriously like ever week.

Reply to Moving to the Hamilton (White Horse)? by kobun04

Vibe- diverse lower middle class suburban area, fast food restaurants, pizza places, diners and Mexican food. Abbot Marshlands are nice for short hikes, fishing and kayaking. Close to Bordentown if you want a walkable area with bars/restaurants in a walkable colonial town.

The rest of Hamilton is a standard NJ suburb lots of pizza places although some other decent ethnic food options exist. Veterans Park is a nice park with lots of trails and activities. Hamilton Library is great.

Traffic- it’s busy but no where near as busy as Fair Lawn or Paterson.

Safety-further you are from the Trenton border the safer it is. Based on the prior places you’ve lived you’ll be fine with it.

Jobs- state government is a huge employer in the area, lots of private sector jobs based in Hamilton and Princeton.

They're usually built even before that. Whatever the model year is, they're built the previous year, so it would correlate with what I was saying. That's why I'm asking about a quality drop. Every car make and model is like that.

Again, I haven't looked up what changes were made to drop price. It's just a thought.

NJ is definitely polluted. America was built on the back of NJ industry. NJ has not begin given its just due in regard to the hundreds of sites that are essentially unusable at this point, and it's a shame because there is a growing dearth of land in proximity to places people work.

To the OC of this chain, cleanups vary from site to site. Sometimes there's digs. Sometimes there's monitoring and capping. It really depends on what's there. If it's buried household waste, essentially, capping it and preventing it from being disturbed, placing monitoring wells downstream to monitor for any impacts to groundwater, you kind of cover all the bases.

And that's a simplistic recap, but at the end of the day you identify what's there, identify if and where it's going, and from there you determine the course of action.

So in your mind, is it just undevelopable land in perpetuity? Would you put it on the same level as John's Manville and American Cyanamid? You raised a point and I felt there needed to be some clarification, because it isn't so cut and dried.

So yeah, just in general, are you opposed to building on top of contaminated sites blanketly? And if that's the case it's obviously fine, I just like to know where someone is coming from when they say things.

I have a Y and a 3. My 3 had some minor cosmetic issues when I picked it up, Service Center fixed it and that was that. My Y, built in Austin, is perfect. Coming from a 2018 CTS and Grand Cherokee, I’d say the Y and 3 are on par quality wise. The materials are somewhere in the middle, but the seats are damn comfortable for the price range.

But the best part of any EV is the power and convenience, and that’s really the reason I went with Tesla. Nobody can touch the range and the Superchargers are the best until EA catches up.
