@joeymdfox@MussabAliJC Interesting the spread was so heavy Menendez except for JC? Can it really only be attributed to Ali being local? Or does the HCDO have less of a chokehold on JC?
@ThomasFSwartz@eaconner If your home value has increased that much, that’s essentially unrealized income. So yes you can afford it. Sell it and downsize.
@DiaryofaSickGrl If you have a deductible, using GoodRX would likely not let the cost go towards your deductible. So some people may prefer to pay the $26 more cost
@MattFriedmanNJ I’ve been saying that it’s weird the NJ politicians don’t care about the GW/Hol/Linc tolls increase every year (about $20 now) but they’re concerned about the $6 congestion fee? Virtue signaling at its finest
The reaction to this tweet is insane. Just referencing a recent poll and saying an election could be an upset sends some people into orbit with personal attacks. I don’t mind it but maybe…. we would be wise to recognize that this is what turns normal people off too politics and this is what makes the middle think the fringe are seriously nuts. 🚀
Manhattan built ~4,000 units throughout the entire year of 2024
Meanwhile, Jersey City continues to be the housing powerhouse of the entire region and is going to build double that number in a single project 🤯
Jersey City’s development is impressive. It’s one of the few parts of the NYC metro that’s truly growing.
Its population has increased by 15.3% since 2020, and once the skyscrapers currently under construction are completed, it will have more skyscrapers than SF and Boston.
Everyone upset the Acela runs as slow as Japan’s 1970s trains: Amtrak had a plan 15 years ago to straighten tracks in CT & RI. A few thousand locals killed it, costing us 25 minutes of time savings between Boston and NYC for decades to come.
Analyzing raw ridership is useful but ignores service levels; so I charted transit rides per service hour & discovered JC has the most productive US rail line, NJ should expand & run it more instead of building highways. I knew Denver’s LRT was bad but still surprised it’s last
At the Judy Blume rest stop. Not sure what this map is pointing out. What does the color signify? Why is there a DMV when NJ uses MVC? @NJTurnpike@NJGov@goapplegreen
@3_under_scores_ Utterly ridiculous these NIMBYs. This building looks nice. We complain about the lack of housing and when an option comes along, we vote no? Insane.
Given how unpopular many of Murphy's policies for Jersey City and Hudson County have been, I suspect this will backfire spectacularly.
McGreevey + Murphy = Machine
Gov Murphy… this is out of touch. You have potential ICE Raids as the Governor of the most diverse state in the country, you have potential attacks on the LGBtQ community, you have a president that doesn’t prioritize the environment…. And you prioritize congestion pricing which is really you mostly fighting for the richest 2% of the ppl that can afford to drive their personal vehicles to NYC daily and pay $1000 per month additional to park
