Yes. Not sure if Domenic sold to the current owners or if there was someone else in between. But he opened the original place.

We could use a good bar too, no?

The new courthouse with park next door makes me, almost, not dread jury duty in the future

Reply to The Campaign for Eminent Domain: A Petition for the State of NJ to Acquire Fireman's Golf Course to Expand Liberty State Park by nuncio_populi
I posted this in the other thread, but for those that are worried about cost:
You’re already paying for it through the massive public infrastructure required: the roads, the police, the sewage, the millions of gallons of water a golf course requires a year, the huge environmental impacts: https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/07/17/golf-is-a-giant-board-game-damaging-the-planet-time-for-it-to-go
All paid for by your tax dollars so some rich guys can play golf on some prime land next to NYC. The best part? You’re too poor to visit this club, you pay for it, they wouldn’t even let you step foot inside of it.
Public park would cost the tax payers way less than continuing to fund the infrastructure requires for this golf course. It’s a dying sport, it’s terrible for the environment, there are much better use of this land that would benefit the public.

Reply to Monthly Electricity Bill in the BELA area by knlshh
ive lived in both a studio and 1 bedroom in Bergen-Lafayette and my highest bill is typically winter/this time of yr (highest has been like $102 for my 1 bed). Most of the time my bill is in the mid $60 range or even less (lowest i got was a $40something). This month my bill was just shy of $90. I think how much time i spend in my apartment makes a difference (my job usually keeps me out more then half the day).

He’s not the mayor he was a few years ago. Anyone who comes up through the ranks here and gets a taste for more ends up leaving the people behind. He’s no different.

I disagree. I work with a few right leaning individuals and they are all pro Fulop. He's pro business and that's enough to get the vote for a lot of people.

Good news, but be patient. Probably 10 years after Port Authority finishes the Exchange Place elevator project, we will see this new building next to Power House

Of course not! I'm sure if we show up there we'll just happen upon some children who happen to be hanging out in a brewery at 10pm on a school night, just like Fireman did!

He oversaw the biggest rent hikes in city history by coordinating closely with developers who donated to his campaign?
Same statement, just put emphasis on different things.

Huh. Fascinating. I guess the fact that my tenants pay 100% of the tax on all my properties is just an illusion.

There’s legitimately not even one place on the list of lowest property taxes I’d consider moving to.

Lol. Yep. That’s literally all he did.

All he did in jersey city was get ridiculously expensive apartment buildings built that the residents of jersey city cannot afford let’s be honest

Reply to Smorgasburg isn’t coming back to JC by SirTitsMcGee
Did you guys like it? I personally find it stressful. My whole time was spent on lines, my friends were on other lines, not much vino, no place to sit.

He has zero chance winning a gubernatorial election. Murphy won by the skin of his teeth against Jack Ciattarelli. I know it’s hard to believe but drive not very far out of this city and it gets red quick. A “progressive” mayor from jersey city taking over the entire state? No chance. JC is great but the rest of this state doesn’t think the same
