Wow. Going racial on saving a park. Goddamn.

A great law for workers and wages. I hope you do report them and I hope OCC takes action.

You let it know your information, and it’ll look up your representatives’ contact info and give you the option to write a letter once and it will send it to any/all of your elected representatives.

Can you post geekbench stats?

We are truly open to all ideas. Please, let us hear yours!

Right now we are trying to 1) let our elected leaders know our displeasure and 2) raise awareness so this becomes a bigger issue.

Yeah, flyers. That should bring Fireman to his knees. What's next? A petition?

Run by Bruce Alston, mortgage fraudster, convicted criminal and serial losing political candidate. Bruce, who has never met a check he didn't like, played a similar role in the airbnb debacle - parlaying the plight of the disadvantaged into a reason to support whichever cause is paying him.

Message everyone on this list and then get out and plan our next move to oppose these development efforts. Somewhere else on this thread we're talking about creating flyers to counter the People's Park narrative. If you have an idea, let's hear it!

That is shockingly offensive. Also, Pesin's Friends of Liberty State Park raised money from the community for many of the amenities currently there!

The People's Park propaganda people are so deeply, deeply distasteful.

There were TWO separate race track plans. One involved Formula-1. I don't know what the other involved.

A "raven" looney? Top tier English language skills right there. They don't make writers like this anymore.

They definitely do not want to build a Ferris wheel.

Honestly, I’d delete everything after the line, “significantly change the character of the park.” As it’s mostly wrong.

I posted on this thread more information on what they actually want to do.

What’s the anchor rebate?

You can add others to the leasev and remove yourself. That will cost you a few $100 but you have to find the new tenants yourself. I'm sure Newport will let you terminate early too but it's going to cost you a couple months' rent

Sam Pesin is the som of Morris Pesin, who is known as the founder of the park. Sam has been fighting rather valiantly for probably 30 years to keep corporate interests from taking over the park. It never seems to end. The first thing I personally remember was back when Bret Schundler was mayor and someone tried to put a waterpark in there. Then they wanted to race NASCAR or something similar through the park and parts of Jersey City. There is more, but it just never ends.

Who is Sam Pesin? Genuinely curious. New to the area and love liberty state park. They better keep it the way it is

How about The Concerned Friends of People's Park Foundation Group. The mission would be to highlight all the under served park's in Greenville and Bergen-Lafayette that could greatly benefit from Fireman's war chest.

That “news” outlet has 56 followers on Twitter and also is unhinged.

This was an exchange I just had online with whoever runs the "Hudson County Chronicles", a "news" outlet that largely exists to spout pro-Fireman propaganda in favor of turning Liberty State Park over to developers. And out of the blue, whoevers' behind the account made this comment about Sam Pesin (who no one had mentioned) which is way, way over the line.

Sure, a participation medal. If this is the level of opposition to park privatization then we may as well hand it over to Fireman now with a nice bow tied around it.

I asked Google’s Bard to write a letter for me, welcome to use yourself (tho have not checked accuracy, are they really wanting to build a Ferris wheel???)

Dear New Jersey Politicians,

I am writing to express my concern about the People's Park Foundation's plan to develop Liberty State Park in Jersey City. I believe that this plan would have a negative impact on the park and the surrounding community.

Liberty State Park is a valuable asset to Jersey City and the state of New Jersey. It is a place where people can come to enjoy the outdoors, learn about history, and participate in a variety of activities. The park is also an important part of the city's identity.

The People's Park Foundation's plan would significantly change the character of Liberty State Park. The foundation plans to build a number of new structures, including a 250-foot tall Ferris wheel. These structures would be out of scale with the park's current landscape and would make it less accessible to the public.

The foundation also plans to develop the park's waterfront area into a commercial district. This would include a number of shops, restaurants, and hotels. While this may generate revenue for the city, it would also make the park less accessible to the public and would change the park's character from a place for recreation to a place for commerce.

I urge you to take action to stop the People's Park Foundation's plan to develop Liberty State Park. Please consider the following options:

• Reject the foundation's plan.
• Require the foundation to make significant changes to its plan.
• Create a public trust to manage Liberty State Park.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

If people really want to do something organized, it might be worth looping them in. They have been fighting this fight for decades.

they need speed bumps at the end of the streets. people blow through stop signs nonstop in the heights.
