Can't tell, does this version include the square about the developer he was pressured to add by City Hall mid-project? Because that's JC as FUC

I've heard it called India Square, Little India, Curry Hill. I've heard these from folks who've owned and lived there for decades, more recent folks (Indian decent & non) as well as in print media/television. Take your pick, we all know what is meant I feel.
Edit: The new-ish banners that went up on light poles in the last few months have "India Square" on them, so maybe that's a vote for it being most official?

While Hamilton, Van Vorst, and Lincoln parks are great, what makes them so deeply fundamental to JC? What do you learn or see there that roots you in this place & it's people/history?

What is the meme verison of JC cops not caring about dangerous motorists? I really want to get traction/visibility on the issue ala "LUXURY" HOUSING, and the cop scenario comes up enough where we need the shorthand

Harrison is a bedroom community. Your positive is the train to take you to where ever. Hopefully it's cheaper but I have no idea how pricing works these days (makes no sense to me)
JC is more of a full city. Hoboken is closer and like 2/3 of a city more than Harrison. If you can afford all 3 it's a lifestyle question, and how much money you want to save VS access to things you'd want to use alot.

They also have cops/pedestrian minders around the busy parts of Hoboken during density hours. I'm still perplexed why JC isn't doing this at the trouble spots daily.

They're also building out the above to be NE Headquarters offices.
But having zero information, the theme in JC is usually our permitting & inspection offices are slow, bureaucratic messes, and not sized appropriately. Basically everything here opens years after announced opening dates.

I'm actually not being a sarcastic jerk OP- what did you expect? in the last 10 years JC has added thousands of bedrooms, mostly downtown. We lead the entire USA in some building/construction metrics. We've majorly increased density, barely updated our infrastructure, also COVID made everyone fuckin aggro.
I've noticed it too, shit is definitely playing at a different key compared to even 5 years ago

Or just like be open on the weekends when people are taking a nice walk on the waterfront. Or do like Chealsea market and have stuff that's damn good & unique
I think you hit the nail on the head, it's classic copy something successful but put no effort into understanding why or how it got there.

The pastries are on the higher end of pricing, but are on the higher end of quality as well. Plus, they rotate

I'm a firm believer that we need to pressure for more commercial space (doctor's offices, daycares, dry cleaners, smaller offices/light industrial) to keep our town vibrant and not a big NYC bedroom, so I have mixed feelings.

And yet that's Mayor Adams' latest in the quest for housing. But yeah it may sound good but the infastructure isn't as straightforward as it may seem. Also things converted into a house tend to stay that way, and I'm just curious because alot of NYC's history of rebirth is on industrial/office space becoming the birth of the new age.

>They will just rise anywhere near transit
what happens with literal sea level rise? I kinda am medium confident NYC will figure out walls or something when push comes to shove, but like do you really see Hudson County will get together and collab to figure out a comprehensive plan
counterpoint: areas of Miami on the precipice of getting fucked still somehow have prices going up and major banks still certifying mortgages sometimes so EHHHHHH

I mean when the power bill is past due they do send it to our city, not NYC. So that seems to be it's ours.
This could also be an interesting way to talk about backfill & the weird rights in that zone. Downtown used to be an island (Hoboken too)! Technically rented from New York by NJ for awhile before becoming fully a part!
