I find the opposite to be true.
There is something to say for the attitude of people that have lived here for a decade or more vs all the recent transplants. I dont think they mix well.

LSP as it is sucks for hiking or walking, everyone knows the most scenic walks happen in the parking lots of for-profit stadiums.

Originally Club H, Base Gym is prominently positioned on Columbus Drive. It was better when it was Club H. And yes, Club H is a high end gym.
World Boxing Gym is dirty, unkept, and most of the staff is not friendly or helpful, so it wouldn't fit into what OP is looking for.

World Boxing Gym is not clean, nor is most of the staff friendly or helpful.

Base gym is crazy expensive if you’re not subsidized by your company. Somthing like $190 month to month. Metro fitness is in Newport and it’s $55

Lol I talked to a landlady like this last year when I was searching too. Definitely a scam. No one should be charging you to VIEW an apartment

And, with no previous interactions, as the article was published last night, this perfectly not made up conversation from two very real people.

Reply to comment by AccountantOfFraud in Tenants Fight Back As Rents Soar In Jersey City And Hoboken by mad_dog_94
Yes but it's disingenuous at best to relate the interest rates the fed sets to what a consumer's mortgage interest rate actively is.
Your comment was that [mortgage] rates have been near zero for years now, which is objectively wrong. Show me any consumers who have a near zero mortgage interest rate.
Honestly, you kind of come off as someone with a mental disorder or some level of autism so I'm not continue to make fun of you.
How brittle you are makes it too easy.

Yah it’s pitiful that such a blatant low-effort AstroTurfing campaign isn’t enough in itself to fully discredit “people’s park” and the rebok turd in the eyes of everyone in town (and in Trenton). I guess the good news is that when his bought politicians blatantly favor him it’ll be clear to everyone that they’ve sold their office and have zero integrity. It’ll hopefully end a few political careers or at least cripple them. As it should.

Yeah I worked on a new affordable development recently and even that didn't get an abatement.

Check out one of Rob Van Pelt's 6 friends, Cindy Witherspoon, she's a divorced mom living in Hoboken but originally from Spring Lake, NJ and she is totally real and not at all made up and wasn't created using stock photographs.

I thought it was obvious they were talking about developing other parts of JC rather than just strictly downtown.

Like 75 Park Lane and The Beach? They don't have tax abatements as far as I can tell.
I don't think any of the new buildings in the "soho west" area do either. The first Cast Iron Lofts building did get a 5 year abatement, but that was done 6+ years ago before the city stopped giving out new abatements downtown.
You can see a list of abated properties and PILOT payments vs. what taxes would have been in the city's budget. Click the latest "user friendly" budget on the page here and go to page 7. They don't list the address for every property though, which is annoying.

I thought it was clear they were describing developing neighborhoods that get looked over by the city government and therefore developers, e.g. west side, mcginley sq, etc.

Well this way you get buy-in from the other towns/boroughs. They would still retain their town names but be one muni entity like NYC.
