What’s insane to me is that people expect the city on the other side of the Hudson from Manhattan to somehow not attract people to live here.
What is the alternative to accommodating demand for housing, Keep JC as shitty as possible to make it unappealing for everyone?

You could consider renting in Journal Square first to see if it feels like a place you want to live for the next 5+ years... It is different from downtown Jersey City.

That would be pointless. The vast majority of housing is owned by individuals. And 70% of rental properties are owned by people who own just one or two properties. Source.
The underlying problem is that there is simply not enough housing in the places where people want to live. When demand outpaces supply, prices go up. It’s really simple stuff.

We need less of them and more affordable housing. Especially for working poor and lower middle class.

Yeah so there really isn’t a point in buying an unlimited metro card at that point bc that’s basically the price for a weekly unlimited

sound out the words slowly and you might get to the part where I said “by the city at the time”

Also didn’t the subway made it so it’s automatically unlimited anyways as long as you use the same subway card/ regular card if your using contactless

Paterson is not affordable relative to local incomes. Median household income in Paterson is only $48k, which is less than it is in Houston.
Open up Zillow and you will find very few habitable homes on the market in Paterson for under $300k.

So you're saying the collusion has finally become an issue Mr. Powell?

I'll leave the money in a paper bag on top of the sink. I know this is how it works due to experience, I have an underground raw milk guy that does the same thing. I'm a LUXURY millennial

And south park and Lawndale are also not affordable, relative to local household incomes. You can make a statistic do whatever you want.
