The point isn’t to propose something useful or even plausible. It’s just to try be clever and troll.

I’m sorry but the state of New Jersey does not need another 160 acres to add to the 1200 they already can’t maintain. Liberty State Park is plenty big - I would suggest reallocating that proposed budget into park maintenance, creating jobs and cutting back on the massive amount of goose crap that gets everyone’s kids and dogs sick.

Now if the state wanted to acquire the course to maintain and open it to the public, I’d be into that. Not only does it allow everyday taxpayers the opportunity to play one of the nicest courses in the county, but will continue to provide jobs and a solid revenue stream to the state. It also maintains the idea of expanding the park without destroying a course that currently costs more than the average mortgage to get onto. I’m sorry, but to turn those greens into underutilized playground equipment would be a crime against humanity.

Do with the clubhouse what you wish.

nah love the heights

I hate my tax bill but realistically lots of NY metro suburbs are higher. Montclair, Ridgewood 20k, 30, 40k are normal.

Do you enjoy ticks?

1st, your whole theory is a fiction built upon a fiction. Almost one cares about the proportion of land to improvement in their tax. The tax is the tax. Further, the 'land proportion' is utter nonsense with zero basis in reality. Mine is $400k on a property that is identical to a vacant lot across the street with identical zoning that sold for $3m 5 years ago. Another property has it's land at $225k, while the identical lot next door is at $150k. Appraisals are voodoo at best, criminal at worst. Assessments are even worse.

2nd, you've made a whole lot of erroneous assumptions about me and my politics. I am never NIMBY, never complain about my taxes, and support urbanism at all times.

But you are correct on my Rent Control views, it is theft of private property, pure and simple. Instead of socializing the cost of housing the less fortunate like a civilized society, we have decided that rental property owners alone should bear the cost. Rent control is 2nd only to exclusive zoning in causing the housing shortage that drives up costs.

I'm going to assume city but that's just an assumption.

Yea what was that? I will accept many names for the walkway but no one has ever used that one

Please do not enter any area of state property designated No Trespassing. This area is fenced off for a reason. We would love to share this space once it is completed and open for public use. Noncompliance with this will be addressed via fines or arrests, Thanks!

I’ve gone in and was chased out by rangers. I did it during summer few years back so they had pow pow on bikes patrolling. Make sure wear long sleeves there are thick brush but not much to see. There’s also blown plastics everywhere. Probably too mushy right now. Watch out for ticks. Exploring the coves I recommend (trespassing?)

try Apna Bazar.

I’ll just go to the Bareburger next door assuming it ever opens

Part of the high price tag (and reason why it hasn’t been done sooner) is finishing soil remediation to clean up chromium and arsenic contamination from years of heavy industrial use.

The DEP was about to undertake that costly effort to restore wildlife habitat and build community rec fields UNTIL the People’s Park derailed that effort at the last minute to try and get their private development efforts through.

That area was historically just rail yards and factories built on fill. It’s just low lying scrub brush and probably some homeless camps. I kinda doubt it’s very interesting but hey let us know what you find. Just don’t inhale too much dust/dirt

This sucks

This “waste dump” has been home to hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans, including friends and family.

Sure, Jersey City has had a Renaissance but it isn’t due to Fireman, golf, and the PGA. It is they who have benefited from us; not us who have benefited from them.

Your jefe Paul Fireman took over $200 million to build his golf course. Forget eminent domain, we’ve already paid for the land. He should either pay the money back or “donate” his golf course to LSP.

Such as?

Oh, I’ll just drop this here… Fireman used taxpayer money to help build his golf course. And lots of it:

“The cost of cleanup was picked up by taxpayers, and the developer would be allowed to build a course atop the site at its own expense, under strict regulations. In recent years, Liberty National's price tag has been reported as $250 million. About 90 percent of that figure were Superfund cleanup costs.”

We should send him the tab to the tune of $200 million plus interest.
