I know, I'm one of them :-)

The only reasons to stay in the greater NYC/JC area if you work from home are family or because you enjoy the community, culture, etc. So, unless your family is there, what would be the point in living somewhere like that which is relatively expensive and inconvenient?

If you are going to move over there and work from home, you might as well move to suburbia, if not even further away from this metropolis with its very high cost of living.

TL;DR the area might be a worthwhile investment because it has future potential, but living there at the moment has very little going for it.

You clearly don’t drive

FWIW for anyone else who needs to get rid of something like this (or upgrading), I’d recommend checking out a local “buy nothing” FB group

Check out near the MLK lightrail stop

Awesome thanks.

I love Via but the hours are so frustrating! And I don't mind waiting longer but I wish it were more predictable and accurate. Sometimes it's 8 minutes, sometimes it's like 30.

Lots of people work from home these days!

You guessed right though, we have large cylinders of nitrogen and CO2. We also have small CO2 chargers.

And so selfless of you to mourn the piles of road salt, the empty takeout containers, etc., that would be lost if they redeveloped the massive parking lot.

nice

We have 20 and 40 cubic foot cylinders, it's a $100 deposit for the tank, and I think $25 or $30 for the gas. Once you're done with the tank you can bring it back for a refund on your deposit, or swap it for a new tank.

We're downtown by Hamilton Park, and we also deliver anywhere in Jersey City.

We also have CO2 and Nitrogen/CO2 blend (aka beer gas). Plus draughts equipment, regulators, kegs, chemicals, etc. We have actually set up a lot of coffee places in the area with nitrogen stuff. If you have questions, hit me up or email us, I can try to make sure I'm there to personally to help out.

Oof my stomach dropped at that rent

Ahhhh yes. A perfect world

Boohoo, man.

I almost moved over there last year thinking it was a neighborhood ripe for redevelopment. The problem is for my wife at least the commute time was twice as long as it would be in central queens (she worked in the east village at the time) and comparable to Journal Square, but with an extra transfer.

The only way the area makes sense is if you work in Lower Manhattan or downtown JC. Or if the area becomes a destination of its own, which I know there were/are efforts to make it into.

(Then there is the issue of the JC public school system vs the NYC one. But thats a whole other can of worms)

Maybe it’s just me but as a pedestrian I’ve had more near misses with e bikes than with cars recently.

We have a long way to go in making our streets not completely injurious, but reading this is a reminder that, for all the "tactical urbanist" shortcutting, remediation doesn't happen quickly.

Every time I'm almost clipped by a 6000-lb hurtling douche I remember that it's been a little longer since the last time that happened compared to a few years ago, when it was so frequent I barely even thought about it. That's the progress we get in this world.

And this is why it was great to rent in downtown JC, but I would never in a million years have bought there...

When you measure success in ridership, low capacity looks like winning. That's great for people in municipal leadership who want to check boxes, not so much for people who want to use it, let alone depend on it.

When Via says 20 minutes then disappears, that's worse than nothing. We need more real transit.

45 grand a year to rent a 1 bedroom apartment in jersey. Couldn't be me.

There's a whole host of other ways to reduce crime other than having cops everywhere or giving everyone guns. Mainly because neither of those two solutions actually do anything to lessen crime.

And what he did was literally not defense. They were running away when he pulled it out. He could've not shot at them. This is probably why he's going to be in deep shit and not getting off free.

Lol they made traffic exponentially worse than it was

So selfless of you to be this concerned about people who can afford 3-4K a month in rent finding a place to live 🥹

Or just fans of sunlight.
