I live in this area and I have no idea what to tell people when they ask where I live.

I always liked NoHo, Not Hoboken.
Anyway, I'm glad this is moving forward.

This is a great project, actual income integration instead of concentrated poverty

Where in downtown is this going to be?

"Who paid for your Paris trip" lol Twitter is hilarious.
But, question, when this was first proposed, someone mentioned this happening to another project and all those tenants weren't able to move back in after being... repositioned "temporarily" to somewhere else...close to Bayonne I think.
I lived on 15th Street across from the old church. It was cool having Hoboken and Hamilton Park at my disposal. And Jersey Social and My Mexico 2 Go. Rent was also $1400 in 2020. It was cool going to Target and spending a small fortune every day. Newport was only a 17 minute walk for the PATH. I'm rambling. If you're still reading that's amazing. I don't know what my point is.
But I think it's cool that the area is getting developed, but it's also why I moved. I can't really explain it.
Wish Cole St Park was done when I lived there.
Jersey City needs more one family houses.
End ramble.

15tt & 16th between Jersey and Grove.
Basically, just East of the 14th St Garden Center.

They did a lot of work with this project to make sure that anyone displaced has rights to move to the new building when it was done. Now, execution is always key, but they did put in work on the issue.

I'm sure this is a new administration, I can't remember which project, when, or which poster brought it up, but your post is good to hear and would be great to see.

They need to make some damn progress on the proposed light rail station over there. You have such a build up and planned build up of buildings and it’s still pretty far and remote to get to mass transit.

Where TF is Soho West?

I hope it works out for the current residents here. Apparently, it wasn't the case for Cabrini-Greens in Chicago when they went mixed income.
"And of the thousands of families who were promised they could return, more than 80% never did — some were disqualified, relocated or simply overwhelmed with bureaucracy. Many died waiting. Even today, 85 families who used to live in Cabrini-Green are still on decades-old waiting lists to move back. "

I like the term Holland Gardens.
SoHo West.... nah. Even Fulop didn't use that term.
Nuplex t1_jani8mx wrote
So made up not once did Fulop say it in the tweets.
Let's hope the term dies.

Fun Fact: that neighborhood used to be part of Jersey City's 2nd District, also known as the "Horseshoe".
WikiSummarizerBot t1_janiulv wrote
>The Horseshoe section of Jersey City, New Jersey, was the second ward, and was the home of the immigrants, tenements, and taverns. The Republican-controlled Legislature gerrymandered the district in 1871 to concentrate and isolate Democratic, and mostly Catholic, votes, thus preserving Republican dominance in the rest of the state. The curved shape of the district was said to resemble a horseshoe. As competing railroads built cuts through Bergen Hill, they also built viaducts from the foot of the cliff which passed through residential districts to the waterfront.

I doubt you’re going to get much buy in for calling a neighborhood the Taint for general usage. No way parents are Going to tell their kids they live in the taint lmao
JerseyCityNJ t1_janlad4 wrote
THANK YOU!
They WILL find a way to ensure that NOBODY from Holland Gardens is allowed anywhere near the place once it is built. But I am sure well-connected politicians' kids who are studying in NYC and working part-time will definitely be able to qualify for affordable units to fill whatever quota there is.

As much as Fulop constantly gets shit for being "in bed with developers" he's done a terrific job from his side of the bed of pushing for affordable housing and green space amidst this mad rush of development (which was going to happen whether Fulop was in office or not).

moobycow t1_janz8as wrote
It's been a problem in a lot of places.
Anyway, here is the policy:
moobycow t1_jao0hta wrote
It wasn't the case for many developments, the city is well aware of it and has worked to try and see that it doesn't happen. The units are 1 to 1, so there is space for everyone. The rent price will still be 30% of income. They can't do new background or qualification checks.
I'm sure some won't make it back in, for various reasons, but it won't be because the city intentionally screwed them.
moobycow t1_jao12g6 wrote
Yup, and no new pilots downtown. He's a bit scummy and self serving, but there also aren't a lot of mayors I can think of that I would trade him for.

What is the proposed light rail station you speak of?
el_tigrox t1_jao5kdn wrote
At one time, there were some plans drawn up to add a new light trail station on 18th st, between Grove and Jersey Ave - somewhere near there.

A station right where the light rail crosses Jersey Ave would be awesome.

This post is correct but I do like "Holland Garden" as a euphemism.
"Wow, after an hour biking on Jersey City streets, my Holland Garden sure is sore."

said it better than i could have; even if this is a favor to a developer, if it means that in 50 years there are still mixed affordable units close by the Holland tunnel, this is a big success IMO

where would you call downtown? It's like 2 blocks from the holland tunnel.
Jahooodie t1_jar3srq wrote
Yeah but it’s outside 78. Inside 78 and LSP are the boundaries I’d use.
We need rules or else we’re just animals, and the David Bowie Lofts and Holland Tunnel Exhaust Fumes District (or as the locals call it, DaBoLoHoTuExFuDi) doesn’t make the cut.

I guess we all create our own boundaries. You're the first person I've heard who considers LSP downtown.
Jahooodie t1_jar5rrc wrote
LSP isn’t downtown, but the edge facing downtown (which also used to not even have a car road) completes the boundary in conjunction with 78
kjrst9 t1_jar65mk wrote
like I said, we all create our own boundaries.
Jahooodie t1_jar6d7o wrote
And some people create their own neighborhoods, like SoHo West!

seriously. Realtors make that stuff up to try to make a "there there" when there isn't one. The biggest fail was trying to rename Hell's Kitchen "Clinton." LOL

That neighborhood is called The Taint. SoHo West is made up real estate-speak.
