World Boxing Gym

Sending positive vibes.

Those fans run continuously, not just at 1 AM. All of the air in the Holland Tunnel tubes is replaced every 90 seconds.

I loved Base when I was a member. So many things you'd find in a high end gym (sauna, cold towels, built in locks) for not that crazy of a price. And free classes, including a spin room, with your membership. The spin classes alone were enough for me because it was essentially the cost of a boutique spin studio, except it comes with a whole gym too.

I haven't been a member in 4 or 5 years just because I moved to a building with a gym and it's sufficient for me, but unless it changed in the past few years I'd absolutely recommend it.

We go through this every time this pops up. You're wrong. You're very wrong. You're incredibly fucking wrong. Stop being so dumb and wrong. 1) Many economists in this country are conservative. They espouse that shit because they are perfectly happy and content with coming up with a conclusion and then putting out bullshit to make it work. 2) Economics as a whole is mostly bullshit espoused by people who just want free cocktails and tell people who will give them what they want to hear. 3) It literally works all over the world, you fucking idiot. Go look at what was posted elsewhere in the replies here about how it works all throughout Europe, in that article's case, Austria.

And yes, people in this country are very fucking stupid and would not want to pay a small tax increase in order to ensure that we could have good public housing (which would in turn ease the financial burden for many more and actually allow people to live in an area where they work and not pay 50%+ of their take-home for rent, which would bring up a new group of middle class people, etc. etc. etc). You're correct in that just about no politician would actually try and make peoples' lives better.

You got to that conclusion the completely wrong way, but you at least got one thing right.

I know you asked for JC, but the Hoboken Historical Museum is close and has lots of cool NJ oriented postcards in their gift shop.

Jokes about the accident aside, that’s kind if a weird selection of “fun” facts.

When I was a kid in Hoboken they would just burn the building down at 3:00 am with your family inside. Good times.

What I’m trying to say is that the investment isn’t worth it if towns adjacent to transit don’t increase density further.

Westfield is relatively dense as far as suburbs go. But what’s the point of spending money to improve transit there if they don’t allow a meaningful amount of new housing to be built? Otherwise, the investment only benefits a limited number of people.

And here I was thinking scrolling Reddit would keep me off Instagram tonight.

The concrete truck parades at 8am are kind of impressive. I enjoy the spectacle.

Thank you!!!

Thank you for your opinion

Second this. Unfortunately, Base does get super packed at peak times so at this point, hoping my next apartment has a decent gym.

@marketurbanism writes a lot about this on Twitter.

The short answer is that zoning and building codes in the US make it especially uneconomical to build small apartment buildings the way they are built in most other parts of the developed world.

One big thing is that it’s practically impossible to build an apartment building with just a single staircase if it has more than 2 or 3 units. Our egress requirements create lots of wasted space, which raises costs. Keep in mind that despite onerous safety requirements like these in US building codes, our buildings are statistically less safe than those in western Europe where most of these restrictions don’t exist at all.

Here’s an interesting article to read on that issue.

Base is kind of the only good option downtown. A lot of space and equipment. Like all gyms, it’s busy during prime times. The gym itself is very clean but they could do a better job in the locker rooms.

Which is why we will support him forever.

>NYC has created over 1 million jobs in the past decade. They've built only 400,000 housing units in that time. Less than 1 housing unit for every 5 jobs created.

Your math aint mathing... 1 million jobs, 400K housing units means 1 housing unit for every 2.5 jobs created. So, half as bad as you posited. And, considering that the average NYC household consists of 2.63 people (source), your stats are not as damning as you seem to believe. There is no question that NYC is not building enough housing, but one has to also dive into this a bit more carefully to understand how that is the case considering that the numbers being cited don't make that argument persuasively. What is happening is that the household size figure is distorted by some larger families and households in lower economic rungs, as well as by ethnic groups and such. CUNY publishes a very interesting breakdown and analysis of housing stats in NYC. In any case, most of the new construction being built is targeted at groups that often live alone, or with another person (couples with no kids) and so the 400K units being mentioned are probably housing a number closer to something like 800K people, leaving the rest to be absorbed by neighboring towns.

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Sleep paralysis? Hmmmm. I have to laugh. This is so Hudson County. Nice airbrushed photo Amy.

I can hear the beeping

Journal square has no soul! I am really liking JC heights. Close enough to go to the city or somewhere cute but far enough away it's quiet. I was living in Brooklyn before.

It is discouraging, but when you pay attention to these threads you’ll notice that it’s usually the same handful of people continually spouting BS no matter how many times their false claims are debunked.

These people employ the same cheap rhetorical tricks as Trump supporters. And it works because they are appealing to people’s emotions. And it is much harder to debunk lies than it is to make fact-free statements that are meant to rile people up.

So let me try to tie it together.

1. The reason the rent is rising is because there is an influx of people looking for housing. Cue our supply-demand illustration.

2. That demand is in part because of the accommodations made to downtown jersey city.

I watched dt become gentrified. No one from nyc was rushing to move to the hood in dt jersey city. There were shootings every week. Developers saw the potential in the less than ideal environment and built luxury apts and promoted brownstones on the strength of the nyc commute, skyline and probably financial incentives from the mayor.

They were able to charge a comparable rate to lesser quality apts in nyc which lured the population like the gold rush.

This is where my first comment stems from. The people that moved here during the early gentrification stage played a role in kicking out the locals because they established a demand that incentivized developers to keep building and expanding.

I was implying that the same process is happening again which I thought was ironic for them to complain about.
