Can you let us know which single family home is the equivalent size of one of the parking lots?

The level of cognitive dissonance in this article is off the charts. I bet every person interviewed has every sq inch of their property paved over. Then they are busy bitching to everyone who will listen about how the streets around their homes floods every time it rains🤷🏾‍♂️. No one wants to buy a 40 dollar trash can so 2x a week you see bare trash bags on the curbside for cats and rodents to tear apart spilling the contents on to the streets. Street cleaning barely happens and when it does there are always cars parked on the cleaning side. No one ties up the cardboard boxes they put out so if it rains or there is wind, there is paper and cardboard everywhere. Beer and drink bottles strewn at every street corner. The few trees we have on the sidewalks are being reduced every day. Don’t get me started on the trash, no one gives a fuck about where they throw trash! The streets here a worst than the so called third world country I was raised in. City does not bother about the blocked up catch basins. It took me 6 months of calling city hall to get the catch basin cleaning truck out to my street corner. The guy operating the truck tells me the city has only 2 such trucks. Where do you expect water to go if the catch basins are all blocked up ?? How stupid do you have to be to argue that an increase in population density has an impact on how much run off there is when it rains? 🤦🏾 A single family home with all its surface area paved over has exactly the same impervious surface as a parking lot of comparable lot size; both are 0. Why only blame the parking lot?

This is what happens when you abandon reason, logic and common sense for ideology. Every single problem we face, must, by definition be blamed on a ideologically driven set of culprits. In this instance, it’s climate change and gentrification.

Every solution has to involve increasing taxes and expanding government. More pigs feeding at the trough. I guess as long as the pigs have blue snouts , it does not matter.

For what it’s worth, the author should be commended for not finding a way to blame this on Trump. 😂🤣😂

I've lived down here since 2006. It varies. A lot of places yes, and a lot of places with later hours don't keep their hours, but it's definitely worse now than it was.

Oh that’s been the case downtown for years honestly. It’s a 9-5, Monday-Friday area

You can still get them by mail for free whenever you want:

It's about 48 hours to get to you and about 48 hours back to them (you can order a new one as you as you take the previous one on Zoom; it doesn't need to go back first).

Ongoing pandemic has apparently changed that for a lot of places. Fewer people dining out, which means anyone who was dining out late because they couldn't get in at other times now goes earlier, places closing earlier, etc. I know a lot of 24 hour diners all over the place that are still now 9:00 or 10:00 PM. Was surprised. So whatever's happening now isn't necessarily indicative at least.

I'm glad I won't miss it at all (that's presuming I'm flying by 5 years from now, which doesn't seem to be a given with how much we're still in the "fuck around" phase with COVID). Not great for people who want to use Newark Airport from other than Newark, though.

Someone is paying for it!

>The 62 goes to the Airport right? So I could technically take the 62 to Terminal C, and then catch a 107 or 37 to my house

I think someone later brought up better fits for you, but honestly, I never take the train to the airport. It's expensive, and counting the AirTrain, it's slower/more work. Someone either here or on Facebook disagreed with me, and I'm coming from Broad/Raymond and not Penn Station, but given the AirTrain time vs. getting off right at the terminal, plus how often it runs... I think it's a wash. I've only ever hit serious traffic on Saturday afternoon, but obviously one car crash can change that.

I tried it. Everything tasted great.

Full bar?! That's great!!!! Will visit soon

No, that's not true. It runs at 1, 2, 3, and 4, as well as 1:30 and 3:30 at least (the schedule is a little weird, as they don't seem to know what to do with a 24/7 schedule, and they typically list after-midnight buses at the end.

Temporary for 5-10 years. The new airtrain was supposed to open in 2021, they havent even started prelim construction.

And once its built, it will be convenient to Terminal A...but completely miss Terminal B.

>The new terminal will be a 15 minute walk from the airtrain, which in turn is 12 minutes for the airport train station

I'm pretty sure that's temporary, no? Or is it temporary but not solved until the AirTrain is replaced?

You might wanna try https://transitapp.com. If you're still looking at individual buses or trains or whatever, you're probably trying too hard at this point.

It's soulless, generic, oversized and cheaply made. ITS PERFECT!!! This is exactly what the Ironbound needed! /s

They do indeed as does a Coach bus

I’d settle for most stuff being open on weekends and until at least 10 pm to be honest

Oh wow I wasn't even thinking about those since I'm pretty sure they depart from the market street side of Penn Station

They seem to have their full liquor license. I saw someone order a G&T.

The menu is very limited for now. I’m looking forward to see it with its full menu.

“Newark city officials have yet to respond about whether they will ultimately opt for a stormwater utility.”

Shocked, shocked, I say

> I would be entering the airport via air train and would then find a bus at a terminal.

Airtrain is really shit after 10pm. Single tracking, every 15 minutes.

>This is a really big issue. I assumed they would have transportation lined up // connected

Your port authority dollars in action

>The 62 goes to the Airport right? So I could technically take the 62 to Terminal C, and then catch a 107 or 37 to my house

Yes. I would double check that the 1 (Ivy Hill) or the 25 (Irvington) work for you, as they also run late and run from Penn.

New food spots are always appreciated. Man I want Newarks Downtown to become a 24/7 hub of culture

Awesome can’t wait to check it out, thanks for the heads up

>There are no buses at the airport train station, you cannot access the street

I would be entering the airport via air train and would then find a bus at a terminal.

>The new terminal will be a 15 minute walk from the airtrain, which in turn is 12 minutes for the airport train station

This is a really big issue. I assumed they would have transportation lined up // connected

>The 62 runs 24/7

The 62 goes to the Airport right? So I could technically take the 62 to Terminal C, and then catch a 107 or 37 to my house
