The issue here is straight up logistics. This town doesn’t have enough tow trucks to get rid of one car from a driveway without hours of notice. There’s no way they can manage dealing with dozens of cars in a parking lot. And the owner of the parking lot wouldn’t be alright with a bunch of booted cars on their property. I bet JC doesn’t even own enough boots to handle it.
In general, this town has what it needs to deal with what happens 95% of the time. That’s why we’re all annoyed by 5% of the things that happen.

You’re looking at a year minimum to get anything resolved

Speed bumps everywhere. I'd like to see them bottom out a dozen times trying to do 0-60.

Got this from another mention of this, I think it's accurate.

Honestly I’d like to see how the police like that. They’re not going to do shit no matter how many people call, so they’ll be driving over those nails in the morning too, and when they ask someone what happened last night that they’re all blowing their tires out, someone might finally piss them off enough to do something.

According to r/sanjose, police elsewhere have done just this. I’m pretty confident I saw a post in the last four months that talked about something like 800 arrests made for taking part in an “unlawful road show” - I just wish it weren’t such a laughable idea for JCPD to process 800 arrests in a single night 😂😭

Not sure what your budget is or if you want to be Downtown but check out Port Liberte. They have rentals come up every so often, ample garage parking in a gated community, and super close to Staten Island. The trade off is it’s about a 15-20 minute Uber to Downtown Hoboken or JC .

It's illegal in every state to modify a car to make more noise, and 95% or more of them modified their car to make it sound like that

Police need to declare these things unlawful gatherings (they literally are breaking the law in multiple ways). That would open up the options on how to get rid of them, instead of just kicking them out, in which case they're obviously going to go somewhere else.

If the police won't do anything a few of us should take matters into our own hands. Dump out a few buckets of nails in the street, see how they like that.

I was driving down Washington blvd, the aholes blocked the entire street. Broke a dozen laws and basically didn’t follow any of the traffic signals. It was honestly scary, especially with the amount of cars in that group.

Thank you so, so much for all of this information. I really appreciate it.

From what I can tell car culture like that has a decent scene in this area. I live in the Heights and I hear it a lot. Some of them meet up nearby my apartment. They’re not always racing (not enough room) but showing off how fast the car can be. Annoying either way though. Not sure much can be done about it.

I commuted from downtown Jersey City to Staten Island by car for several years — don’t be scared off, it’s really not bad. The Bayonne Bridge is literally always empty. Your main issues will be the Staten Island Expressway, if you must take it, or other roads on SI being jammed at rush hour, depending on where you’re going. An occasional backup on 78 in Jersey City, but you can take Caven Point Road to get around it (and save a few bucks on tolls).
I second the recommendation of Bergen-Lafayette. You can find street parking, and there’s the turnpike extension on-ramp to Staten Island right over by the Liberty Science Center. I live in the neighborhood and drive to SI all the time to see family (and sometimes for work obligations). It’s usually a breeze.
Downtown, big buildings you’ll have to pay for parking. If you rent in a small building in an area like Paulus Hook, you can park on the street, though sometimes you’ll have to walk a few blocks. That’s where I lived when I commuted to SI. It’s doable, and hipper than Bergen-Lafayette, but Bergen Lafayette’s a little easier/cheaper.

Not if you take Ez pass and choose the bridge plans. It comes down to $6
