idk about "extremely" safe but generally safe. "Extremely" safe is when i can walk around with music blasting in my ear at 1 AM with no worries at all.

There used to be a mugger prowling in that area early in the summer. Probably gone now, never ran into him. Don't walk by the reservoir late with headphones in. Otherwise nothing happens

FL is gone for Democrats. It's over, while having more plugged in voters in this area would reduce corruption

South Mountain is technically train accessible

I didn't know those windows even opened

All would be at least $300 more expensive though. Depends on savings targets whether that's worth it, it's probably worth it but as an "extreme saver" myself idk if it's that much better than the Beacon

Any outrage for the exclusionary suburbs, or will it only be for downtowns? If they were allowed to build nothing you make the owners of current buildings richer. Congratulations you get to choose who gets rich of 2 already rich groups. There is no point to blocking construction

Baumol's cost disease, labor intensive services increase in price faster than goods. Can't quite automate a chef nearly as efficiently as a production line can be.

You can downvote all you want and it won't change the fact that a brand new, collusion building in Harrison is cheaper than one in Jersey City and you have no economic model to explain that.

Explain why rents are lower in new buildings in Harrison and across the country (all of which use this collusion software) without mentioning supply or demand.

This does not disprove supply and demand. The same software is used in Harrison yet prices are lower. This maximizes rents through collusion subject to supply and demand constraints. Take an economics class and you'll find out how that's possible.

A good way to turn Jersey City into NYC. How well has rent control worked there?

The market is still the market. This dumb algorithm sets the maximum rent subject to supply and demand constraints. That's why they use the same software across the country and yet rents are cheaper there. You don't even need to look far away. Compare new buildings in Harrison to those downtown. The Harrison ones are not priced the same as downtown despite clearly using the same algorithm, why, because of supply and demand. Either way it's collusion. But it doesn't mean supply and demand suddenly doesn't exist.

But people don't think of NJ as being good in any of those contexts, bring them up individually and you'll just hear about somewhere else being better. Even access to metropolitan areas, which NJ is actually the best at, someone from the sunbelt will start giving you a ridiculous expense list of tolls driving all the way into Manhattan and parking directly in the middle of Manhattan and such to argue "it isn't actually accessible."

I bet you'll be running right off the wagon like the rest of this subreddit when it comes time to increase taxes or cut service to cover the difference.

Some of it by definition has to be doing good. Otherwise there'd be no trains and no stations.

I'd wager quite a bit that the majority of fare skippers aren't broke. Obviously I think differently about those who are, but the majority aren't.

Not everyone who fare jumps is broke. In fact barely anyone who fare jumps is broke. Turns out people don't lose their morals just because they're poor, regardless of what sheltered Redditors want to think.

The solution to that is subsidies for the poor not letting a bunch of people get free rides which inevitably leads to tax increases and service cuts to fill the gap.

Almost as if if everyone payed they'd be cleaner with better service

Go look who fare jumps in NYC, it ain't the poor, it's middle class and business people walking through the accessible entrance.

As if you'd support the tax increases necessary to fund PATH in a fare free world

Make it free and the rest of the money has to come from somewhere. Yet this sub screeches whenever taxes go up.

In that case, let's just have no one pay their fate. We'll see how you like the world with only half the trains running.

Ah yes, those obnoxious and disruptive...Christmas lights. That's a complaint I can't take seriously unless you also support slashing tires on dirt bikes, ATVs, and modified exhaust cars.
