Do you even know what point you are attempting to make or are you that stupid that you really think no one else is aware taking public transit is cheaper than Uber? Or do you just panic and make random excuses so you can pretend the path is perfect to make sure your rental has a tenant?

The point is that the late night walk home from the path can feel not safe depending on the person. Not everyone is a man who lives on top of a path stop.

And? The train doesn’t deposit you into your apartment…one still has to walk or possibly take another method of transit to get home unless you live on top of a path stop. Even living close to a path stop I know plenty of women who will take a cab ride home from JSQ even though they lived a walkable distance if it’s late.

It all adds up so it’s something to consider when people want to make blanket statements about the convenience of taking the path home at 3 am. Unless you live on top of a stop you’re going to also need to figure out how to get home from the station if the lightrail has stopped running.

You said it yourself it’s only not bad if you live near a path stop (which is usually expensive and near NYC rental prices) - most of JC is not near a path stop so I wouldn’t assume everyone on here is exaggerating how hard it is to return late night via PATH.

Not to mention that besides your location in JC - the comfort level of your return commute can be way different if you’re a woman.

If you can’t afford 40-60$ Ubers to come home after being out late 2-3x times a week you should be looking in NY. Everyone in this sub likes to ignore how much they pay to Uber home because late night path is annoying but it definitely can erase whatever “savings” you’re getting by renting in JC

I ask because if you’ve ever been sat in the backyard you’ll notice plenty of mice/rats running around in the bushes at the end of the yard and it’s clearly a result of them being attracted by whatever the chickens are being fed on the other side of the fence. I can’t imagine being okay with that as a neighbor if you’re trying to run a business…
