I sure hope you did a chargeback on your card. Don't reward them for shitty and unethical behavior.

If they don't do their job, they should be fired.

If they don't do their job and aren't fired, the police chief should be fired.

You should report this to the police, or, at a minimum, to Lyft. Preferably the police.

Tell them you will do your own trash. Tell them again. Make yourself a huge pain in their ass. Be the squeaky wheel.

"or anyone else"

Someone who is accountable to the citizens of Hudson County.

Tell them you'll decline, and remove it yourself.

This is just a rent hike in disguise, and will certainly increase every year.

The public should be replacing an agency that isn't performing. So if, for example, the PA won't do anything to help expand PATH, then the NJ governor should work to dissolve the organization and replace it with a new one, a new one that has accountability.

It's like complaining that your grocer always has spoiled meat. You use a different grocer.

We should be killing organizations that won't do their job. Unfortunately, we will just keep having our elected officials take kickbacks and do nothing.

Anyone not wanting to help with something that is the primary thing their organization is in charge of.... should be fired. NJ Transit not wanting to help with transit projects? Replace them. PA not wanting to help with PATH expansion? Fire 'em. Replace them with a new organization, especially one that's accountable to elected officials.

That's exactly why we should talk about firing the Port Authority and getting rid of the organisation every time they do this.

This. We need to have serious discussions with them about how to eliminate the PATH organisation and transfer everything to NJ Transit or anyone else.

That's all correct except they need to build up and not out. JC doesn't have any farmland to suburbanize.

The part of JC doesn't matter in this sense. The strategy in downtown or elsewhere in JC like Heights or Westside should be the same: increase density. That's how you relieve pressure on rent.

And since we happen to have an underbuilding NYC right next to us, we have to build A LOT because it's difficult to build enough as New Yorkers just keep coming over and filling it up. The answer is build, build, build. Build up.

> Supply per se isn’t the issue as we had a building binge the last decade.

The problem isn't isolated, our neighbor NYC hasn't been building fast enough, and that means we haven't been building fast enough either, to cover our needs AND their needs.

The things you suggest are the opposite of what we need, and would contribute to rising rents, higher infrastructure costs, more pollution, and a more unhappy population.

In short: it's moronic.

Density is the solution, not suburbanization.

I bet you're fun at parties.

Someone should call Parking Enforcement on that asshole.

want heavy rail

I wouldn't. We moved to JSQ and can't wait to move back to NYC.

I agree with you somewhat, but OP is trying to help. You're not. Where are YOUR suggestions on what to do?

Forget roads, when do we get PATH tracks?

Building more rentals relieves pressure on rent.

Getting rid of the Realpage monopoly would also relieve a lot more pressure on rent.

Increasing law enforcement would also relieve pressure on rent, by arresting landlords who are breaking the rent control laws.

Disallowing more housing to be built is dumb, and part of the reason we're in this mess. (Not the entire reason)

But we will leave things exactly as they are now, because these large corporations are the ones funding our politicians' careers.

You deserve a medal for this post
