Really?

This is great news. I remember banking at “The Howard” in the 80’s with my mom.

I vaguely remember seeing this proposed as some tallish 744 style building. While I like 'tall' this just seems better suited for filling in those downtown blanks

When it's done it won't look so out of place.

Was literally on the GO28 bus yesterday thinking how good it would be if this building was rehabbed.

Very glad to see this, hopefully more does the same on market street near Halsey

Paramount does decent work. Excited to see more residential buildings closer yo Broad and Market

Extreme poverty and suffering is a failure of society, not of the individual. And so it's society's responsibility, not the individual's.

LMK When yall find him and job and get him a new source of income.

Yeah I've seen the guy, looks like this is the one way he knows to make some money, maybe he has a family or others to provide for too. Unfortunately, it's cruel and he shouldn't be doing it, but instead of arresting him and fining him or something like that maybe some kind of job assistance or training could be a better route. Unfortunately we all know our country isn't great at rehabilitating people

Agreed, must be minimize if not completely eliminated

Not when they come with a massive garage.

So the stores will stay open under a different name, right? More Krauzers? I wish Wawa would open urban storefront stores like in Philly instead of sticking to gas stations

Yes they are. Visit DC or SF. It's like 10% of what it used to be

Other cities are not like this…

Did you miss the whole covid thing

Downtown has also been a lot dirtier lately. I went to Starbucks and the trash was overflowing and I haven’t seen it like that in a while

What company is this?

I concur as a Newark resident of several years

You can scrape a living without causing harm.

Selling turtles is fucked up you can google it.

He should.be standing outside home depot if he can't find other work not illegally selling animals

This is why residential towers are good. Its bring real life to a city

No one manager or above is in a union at Rutgers. UMDNJ (and now the former UMDNJ parts of Rutgers and UH) had supervisors in CWA. Rutgers has sort of the middle in an AFT union called “Union of Rutgers Administrators.” Some AFSCME too. Professionals and Nurses on the legacy-UMDNJ side of Rutgers (and increasingly the legacy Rutgers side too) are in my union (HPAE) and the non-clerical and housekeeping, etc., jobs are Teamsters. We also have OPEIU. There are also two different AAUP unions for the two legacy schools, and one for adjunct faculty.

You at NJIT?

Yes, I know that. I am the president of a union. It’s not true that everybody who doesn’t have a reporting line is in a union. There are people all over the place who are not for some reason, and we are working on that, as that was less true at UMDNJ.

I didn’t catch that you were asking about a union name. We don’t have one called PSA though.

The power of a union is in its members. A surprisingly small percentage of people seem to think this is a big deal anymore. There are somewhat more people who don’t want to go to the office because they just don’t want to and have shown that they don’t need to. Then there are others that are psyched “to see everyone’s face again.”

It’s hard to build a movement around safety when there don’t seem to be that many people that think there’s an actual safety problem.
