Agreed.

Not for nothing but a Latino employee was murdered as well in this incident and I find it a little bizarre he barely gets mentioned in these headlines/comments just because he wasn’t Jewish. It wasn’t just “American Jews” who were murdered that day.

There are no low cost of living areas anymore because of gentrification and anything remotely affordable is quickly diminishing. Welcome to planet earth - you’ll catch up soon!

I’m really proud of you for knowing people in the heights and journal square but JC is huge and that isn’t all of it so I don’t know what point you think you are making.

You realize not all poor people are criminals right? And they need a place to live too?

Also there is still plenty of crime lol JC famously under reports stats but if you know anyone in other neighborhoods shootings are a regular occurrence.

Yes - that’s why it’s a dumb comment to make. It’s not a natural transition it’s a deliberate effort to displace people. Why would anyone act like that is positive?

And all we had to do was price out the low income people who have bigger issues to worry about than recycling 🥰

lol have you watched them pick up recycling? It doesn’t even get sorted.

lol

I did 🥰

Yes it’s totally worth it - who cares if the city is drowning financially, Fulop has proven to be corrupt, and we are clearly getting ripped off by this deal? Where else will anyone in this humble city get the chance to see a Matisse in person?!

If you ran for mayor on this platform it would probably give the voter turnout numbers a nice bump.

We just need to build more luxury housing to fix the problems caused by building more luxury housing. Simple as.

It feels so long ago that JC used to actually have cool unique shows like that. I hope Montgomery Hall opens back up.

We should see what the guy who used to dress up as Cookie Monster on Newark Ave is up to these days

I like caviar but it is extremely funny to see a caviar post getting this much engagement

Glad Brittani had the time to step away from her 2 tax payer funded jobs to do this.

And it only took 2 years

sure buddy

Wow so I guess we didn't need those tax abatements handed out like candy back in the day to encourage development then if Jersey City was so enticing on its own?

Again...if people wanted to live here so badly why would they need to offer abatements and make an entire campaign to encourage development 10 - 15 years ago? This was all planned.

I know it’s hard to imagine - but plenty of people lived here before Fulop sold out the town to developers and were totally fine with not having a sweet green and a bunch of shitty restaurants on Newark Ave in exchange for affordable rent.

They made a MAKE IT YOURS JC campaign and then it’s shocked pikachu face when the entire city gets steamrolled by development. The goal was always high rents and pricing long time residents out. That’s why it’s so funny to see the rubes on here pretending more luxury housing is the solution instead of the cause. You have to be incredibly naive or a real estate shill to think more luxury housing is going to make anything more affordable when they all work together to artificially inflate rents.

Okay grandpa time to get you to bed

It’s cute that you think the lack of affordable housing is just an overlooked issue and not a result of our local government and greedy developers working hand in hand to price out residents. Let me know how complaining to city council goes - it’s working great so far.

Oh wow I didn't realize city council wasn't aware lack of affordable housing is a big problem in Jersey City. Do you have a phone number I can call to let them know?? Or should I call Fulop first? We gotta get the word out!
