The podcast The War on Cars did a couple episodes of actual investigative journalism about one of these kinds of scenes in Brooklyn. The cops showed up to break up one of the gatherings, everyone slowly drove away, and when the host asked the cops why they aren't ticketing or arresting or anything, they said it's because they're not actually doing anything dangerous or illegal. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad tbh.

I don’t think there’s enough private for a surge op like this what I was getting at.

Also a little off topic, but I’m curious if someone ever told Paramount that there is a company called Top Gun Towing who is trading off one of their brands. I mean someone must have been super pissed about getting towed and then taken it to that extreme, right?

Do not listen to the people promoting their outer belt neighborhoods if you want to move for your social life. Places like the Heights, Bergen Lafayette or Bayonne are pretty good quality of life if you already have a partner or can't afford to live Downtown or Hoboken in the style you require, which in this case means having parking. But if you want the easiest access to the densest NJ social life, Manhattan, or even Brooklyn, choose Downtown or Hoboken if you can.

FWIW, my wife commuted for several years to St George Staten Island from Downtown, took her about 35 minutes.

If you want to roll out of bed and into the bar, you have to live in Downtown JC. But like everyone said Bergen-Lafayette is close to Bayonne and therefore close to SI. Bergen Lafayette is five minutes via Uber to downtown JC. Warning—BL is transitioning. Certain areas have an unwanted element but that’s changing and shrinking. There is a new “Luxury” high rise on Garfield across from Berry Lane park next to the highway entrance and Liberty park. Garfield goes straight to Bayonne.
