Reply to Worst Highway in NJ by TheMateoAndre
Anyone saying anything other than Route 22 has never driven on it in the Mountainside <---> Hillside stretch where they have retail shops in the center of the highway, so you've got people entering and exiting traffic in both the left and right lanes (plus U-turns in the middle of the highway!! none of which have onramps to help cars get up to speed before merging). Then throw in massive flooding problems any time it rains.
When we were house shopping in Union County, my top deal breaker was being able to reach a train station and the Parkway without getting on 22.

Reply to comment by TwilitSky in NYC proposes strict Airbnb registration rules to take effect in January by Eriosyces
If you're comparing a single hotel room to an Airbnb, the hotel wins out in almost all circumstances.
Airbnb can sometimes win out if it's a group of people and you're comparing like 3-4 hotel rooms to 1 Airbnb rental.

Pretty much the first politician I've seen actually campaign for NJ-07, unlike Lance and Kean both hiding while relying on gerrymandering to win.
Unfortunately it'll work, Malinowski was thrown under the bus this cycle and the district redrawn to get Kean elected.

Reply to Where to stay in Newark by laladeedadee
I stayed at the Double Tree by Penn Station Newark once because of a blizzard and it wasn't half bad. There's also a hotel next to the PATH station in Harrison that looks decent from the outside at least.
Either would put you in easy driving/Uber distance of East Orange, and you can hop on the PATH train to get into the city.

Reply to Why NJ should follow California’s lead on 100% EV sales by 2035: "Innovation is not just important in technology, it’s also important for governmental processes" by rollotomasi07071
The automakers will follow California's lead (and were even already making that move before CA), which is all that really matters.

Reply to I am on my late 20’s and moving to NYC. Is it crazy/bad idea? I am very comfortable now but very bored where I am. by Ok-Citron-980
Wherever you go, there you are.
There are tons of things to do in the city to keep from getting bored, but it's not going to save you if your boredom is a you problem. It's just as possible to fall into a work -> home -> sleep rut here as it is in Kansas.

I mean... the average homeless person in NYC is homeless for about a year. That feels like "down on their luck" to me?

I'm open to the debate that GWB was worse, but I think trying to overthrow an election trumps the Iraq War.

Congress has had 78 years to reform or repeal Title 42 under the Public Health Service Act and has chosen not to.

Trump was the worst, most corrupt President to serve in my lifetime.
But not literally everything he did was wrong.

Reply to New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez Under Federal Investigation Again: Per Report by TroyMcClure10
The "good" news is that the Supreme Court has basically legalized political bribery, so unfortunately doubt anything will come of this legally speaking.

No, I doubt the people with the money to undertake such a project would ever be willing to lose the commercial and office space on top of Penn Station just so commuters have a nicer experience while waiting 15 minutes for their train.

Geographically, Brooklyn and Queens are on Long Island even if culturally, what we think of as "Long Island" is Nassau and Suffolk counties.

I mean... you might be right but I'm skeptical.
It's faster to take a bus from Weehawken to NYC than the light rail down to Hoboken and the PATH across (or the ferry downtown if you're rich) and I don't really see what the draw is for people in Bayonne, Jersey City, or Hoboken to shop in Weehawken or Edgewater.

Reply to comment by johnnyringo117 in Biden to release 15M barrels from oil reserve, more possible by cacarca
It's a mix of the oil industry not being nationalized and under government control but also, not all oil is the same so we end up selling grades that we don't need and buying grades that we do.

The ferry's been down there for decades and the light rail was finished in 2005... I feel like the only thing that changed was the Imperatore family and others deciding to develop the land?
The developers say it's safe but tbh you couldn't pay me to live on top of a chemical waste site with the amount of corruption that goes on in the redevelopment industry.

It's pretty cool how Republican voters don't care that he was pro-abortion, pro-gun control, and voted with Nancy Pelosi 98% of the time, but then someone was mean to Trump so he switched all of his policy views overnight.
