Keep wondering why a community full of transient renters results in poor voter turn out. You’ll figure it out eventually (don’t hurt yourself thinking too hard)

That’s what happens when you plan a city so that it is filled with luxury rentals that families can’t afford to live in for more than a few years. Little long term investment or concern with the community and the people who’d like to stay and be involved will eventually get priced out.

Absolutely this. People should be saying it to her face considering she still has the balls to show up to community events.

I might believe the complete lie that JCPD is understaffed if I literally ever saw them doing anything besides sitting in a squad car or "monitoring" a hole in the ground while they stare at their phones.

100%

And you can tell they are full of shit because they are acting like this an outrageous surprise when they’ve known for years that there has been issues.

I’m very familiar with the JC arts scene and have been involved for the past decade. Trust me- it’s fading compared to what it once was.

They like the idea of being a person who lives in a city (“my family back in Ohio think I’m CrAzY for living here!”) while they complain that there’s too many homeless people and the Whole Foods can’t open fast enough.

You’re a little behind. The arts scene is a shell of what it was 10-15 years ago unfortunately. It’s only going to get smaller as more artists get priced out or just give up and pay the same rent in NYC :/

There are less and less galleries and local artists as poorly planned development continues to price them out. Best you’re going to get is a mural slapped on some new construction to convince people they live in a up and coming arts district.

Not sure what your point is but I’ll still take that over zero traffic direction on this side of the tunnel?

Just imagining a world where one thinks it’s normal to have to repeatedly pretty please ask the restaurant next door if they can move their illegally parked cars so you can use your own driveway. Jesus

I don’t understand why they don’t have traffic cops directing traffic the way they do by the Holland tunnel entrance on the NYC side.

lol

Oh no not the “u mad? Relax bro” routine

You might want to be more informed if you’re going to open with “listen to me” and then proudly announce that you are oblivious to anything that doesn’t involve you

They disrespected the taqueria

I hope this detail is included in the police report. Sounds important.

Someone has desecrated Taqueria downtown! People getting shot and murdered in this city will never garner this kind outrage lol

Are you new here? This really isn’t that shocking when you pay attention to criminal activity across the entire city.

Yes. 80% of e bike drivers seem to be morons with a death wish.

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for a utopian society.

It’s clear a lot of cities gave up on improving public transit/city planning and have decided they’ll just cater to a demographic that can afford to Uber themselves and their food everywhere. Imagine how many less cars would be on the road if people could actually walk to pick up their food or groceries instead of clogging the streets…

Wouldn’t it be great if the employees we pay with our tax dollars to enforce traffic laws actually did their job?

Not OP BUT I find myself feeling continuously unsafe because I see how people drive and it is blatantly obvious that they have no regard for human life. The lack of traffic enforcement has given sociopathic drivers a free pass to do whatever they please.

Agreed. Especially in the evening/weekends/holidays when everyone feels free to drive drunk or high because they know literally no one will pull them over.

By people you mean Fulop and he won’t
