Reply to Are No Parking Signs Just Decorations? (Greenville) by strangemotor123

Like someone else mentioned, that is for street cleaning. Check the JC Parking Twitter for days that street cleaning is suspended. However, they only give tickets if you are there when the street cleaner comes and are in the way. So, if people see it pass or know it already did, they will park back on the street. Technically they could ticket you if you’re there between the times, but I’ve only seen them do it when the street cleaner is about to come by, if that makes sense.

We don't have 24 hour service really.

You can't go WTC to Hoboken on nights or weekends.

You can't go JC to 33rd on nights or weekends without a stop in Hoboken. It's basically a transfer that you don't have to leave the train for, but it's effectively a separate line.

I find the real estate taxes anywhere in Jersey wipe out the 3% income tax - it's not exactly the same but it can be close.

That being said, living in Hamilton Park/Van Vorst approximates Brooklyn Heights or Cobble Hill at 50% of the price (if buying).

The property is definitely owned by NJ Transit. They also own a few adjacent parcels.

In fact, they are seeking proposals from developers to do mixed use, transit-oriented development in this area and on other NJTransit properties.

The agency has recently begun to look for ways to monetize its property holdings to help fill holes in their budget.

More info here.

I complain about PATH a lot, but I’ll admit that it’s better than most American transit systems in terms of late night service.

But we deserve so much better than what we have now. There hasn’t been any significant improvement to trans-Hudson rail infrastructure in over a century. The off-peak trains run less frequently than they did in the past.

Of course, happy to help. Good call on the vents, if your apartment gives you access to replacing the HVAC / central air filter too, that's something I do at mine and it helps.

And yeah, I have a smaller air purifier for the bedroom that I turn on only during the day since it's a little noisier. Otherwise the way my apartment is set up, I have my main air purifier in the living room / kitchen. It's placed a few steps away from the bedroom doorway, but the extra air purifier for the bedroom specifically still helps (filter def gets dirty).

Can't speak to wear and tear too much, but my smaller air purifier (GermGuardian) needs its filter replaced after 3-4 months, whereas my bigger one (Coway) I heard should last around 9 months or so before I need a new filter. Hope this helps and good luck hah
