Amazing that you did all this and still missed the point - you can’t limit people’s access to downtown without improving public transit infrastructure. It’s classist and shitty to the rest of JC.

It is indeed silly to think I’m only talking about public transit access as it pertains to this one individual situation when my comment is replying to someone demanding all cars be banned from downtown forever.

It really puts the JC entitlement spin on it - any normal person who paid for funeral home services would be rightfully pissed this is how it was managed. Instead they are just mad that they can’t freely block access to public roads/cars/emergency services without people getting annoyed?

Love to live downtown in my 4K one bedroom on top of a path stop and then demand people who were born and raised here give up their car and wait 30 minutes for the weekend lightrail to run their errands if they deign to enter the downtown bubble.

They should focus on making public transit enticing and affordable so people feel comfortable going car free.

When people demand JC residents give up their cars it shows there is such a huge blind spot for the rest of the city’s limited public transit access. You’re asking people to voluntarily make their lives more difficult and just trust JC to eventually improve public transit options when we can’t even trust them to keep roads functional.

Who cares about voting or investing in the community when most residents know they will be priced out in a few years? The city knows exactly what they are doing when they let developers turn all the housing supply into luxury rentals that very few people can afford to live in long term. It’s a free for all with no oversight.

Not necessarily related but I’ll just add the only reason the spouse who murdered the JC teacher was caught was because they got pulled over in Kearny. You know that would have never happened in JC.

There is zero incentive for JCPD to follow up on anything because it appears no one gives a shit.
