Preservation NJ is such a pernicious, toxic org that has done immeasurable harm. preservationnj.org/is-new-jerse...

The retail FINALLY started here, although I still have serious questions about the rest ever happening. www.nj.com/middlesex/20...

The thing about Paramus is all the retail was almost certainly there before any current resident, it's the worst place imaginable to try to NIMBY retail. www.northjersey.com/story/news/b...

I'm a registered D and have a record of voting in every primary and general. 2 Solomon mailers this week, 1 Ali. Haven't gotten anything from Sherrill since June, although I did get a phonebank text a few days ago.

Welp, just called the PA PD. Saw an addict nod off and hit the ground at Exchange Place. He's alive, but that's not good.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... TIL it's a thing that online gamblers from NY will come to Hudson County to play.

Best ice cream in NY. Pretty soon every store will be Van Leeuwen.

After a major victory last year, craft breweries say they are facing "excessive and byzantine rules" that threaten to undermine the new law's benefits.

so, uh, a NYC councilman is in the process of having a pretty unhinged crashout over abundance. honestly kind of sad to see, especially since the law in question seems like the exact type of technocratic issue we should be trying to understand deeper rather than just flinging insults at people

I have a theory about the NJ Governor's race. You can argue about whether anti-incumbency or anti-president is a bigger factor, but I look more at the effect of nationalizing the race. Normally, during DT's terms in office, his voters stay home when he's on the ballot.

I think Charlotte is the first time I left a vacation early, albeit in this case, by 8 hours. It's not some desolate hellscape, and the food actually is pretty good, but there just isn't all that much to do.

I don't wish suffering on anyone, but there's some irony that Mark Sanchez lived a happy, healthy life in LA and NY (well, greater Morristown), only to get stabbed in a conservative city like Indianapolis.

I was lucky today to make a standby flight that has two open seats. Unfortunately, I'm stuck right now in the horrible PATH bus bridge.

There’s a boom of New York City rental buildings with exactly 99 units — why that may be bad news for the city’s housing plans moneywise.com/real-estate/...

Strangely relevant because TS stole a Pixies song. Time for them to get paid.

The crosswalk in Oakland where 4yo Jalen Gomez died was made less visible & lacked a basic safety feature - Bergen Co won't say why. In 2020, a state grant to make ped safety upgrades along Ramapo Valley Road was denied. Now ped deaths in NJ are at 30-year highs. www.northjersey.com/story/news/t...

Nice letter from the founders of "Princeton For All" announcing the goals of the new group and why it is needed. "We have been disappointed by recent calls to block development, and we support the Council’s efforts to promote sensible growth." www.tapinto.net/towns/prince...

One of the mysteries of the Jersey City mayoral race are what the smart developers - KRE, Ironstate, and Namdar will do. The dumb ones are with McGreevey, knowing he plans to reinstitute pay for play. Will the smart developers align with O'Dea, or are they scared of retaliation?

I've seen zero police and zero fare enforcement on the Lynx light rail in Charlotte.

It's still wild to me that last year JREJ was part of the campaign to remove police protection from synagogues, and this has been memory holed. forward.com/news/antisem...

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/n... Is he trying to lose Flushing by Assadist margins?

NJEA's leadership say the union is a representative democracy. Idk. Maybe someone should look into just how democratic they are. Unions are cool but many need reform.

I don't agree with Gottheimer about a lot of stuff, but he is actually a pretty tireless fighter for people in his district, whether they are car drivers or train commuters...

Looks like New Jersey bike advocates are going to have to get ready to fight some more bad legislation from idiot Democrats in the statehouse. www.nj.com/union/2025/1...

This seems incredibly poorly planned and communicated. I'm hoping there is a ton of excess time in there, but simply dropping on a Wednesday that "Oh, by the way, you can't add money to an OMNY card this weekend" is a hell of a way to run a service.

Once you start seeing the giant highway ring pattern around cities, you can't really unsee it.

Horrifying news, as it appears the rumors about this murder by vehicle were true. www.nj.com/union/2025/1...

Most southern cities are bad for pedestrians, and I've already had a number of issues with Charlotte. 1. Bus drivers ignored my stop requests, twice. 2. Saw a truck parked in a bus stop, and also saw a "bus stop" that consisted of parkng spots and an intersection.

Natural gas is incredibly dangerous and it’s wild to me that we’re still putting it in new construction. Here’s why this requirement in NYC is entirely missing the mark.🧵

I'm in Charlotte, and a lot of buses are getting canceled due to lack of staffing. Seems bad!

Missing a lot of dunking on Justin Brannan (again), this time about the very stupid master plumber to install gas stoves bill, on the everything app.

I'm at EWR Terminal A. I finally saw the sensory room. But ultimately, now in the seating area, the power outlets don't work. Anyone who doesn't hate A is wrong.

Good news: Today, a judge dismissed the lawsuit trying to overturn NJ’s landmark new affordable housing law. While a few wealthy towns waste taxpayer $$ fighting affordable homes, the vast majority of towns are embracing the law & building stronger communities: fairsharehousing.org/press-releas...

It wasn’t a “crash” they were run over by a driver of a SUV while they were riding their bikes, and the driver tried to flee. These passive headlines are sickening. pix11.com/news/morning...

Sounds like they need a new planning board. www.tapinto.net/towns/flemin...

Very predictable montclairlocal.news/2025/09/njea...

The new citibike stations look like they're getting a lot of use.

NYC passes new appliance mandate that critics argue will make rent, other costs skyrocket

The land for SciTech Scity was sold to (and is still owned by) Liberty Science Center, a non-profit. Is Liberty Science Center a "private developer"? And the apts were never expected to cover the entire cost of the school & labs...they've been raising philanthropic donations to bridge the gap

Opposing the ceasefire deal is a pretty good indicator of who's a Kahanist or a Qassamist.

Cities have always been the vanguard, but mid 2010s NYC, and especially Brooklyn, really did take over culture in such a ubiquitous way, and I don't know if people in the rest of the country even realize that's where it spawned.

Checked my mail for the first time in 2 weeks. 1 Solomon family bio mailer, 1 Solomon council mailer, 1 McG council mailer, one Ali mailer.

This plan would require heavy subsidies. I really dislike the messaging of this ad. hudsoncountyview.com/new-solomon-...

A lot of developers, especially larger ones, actually aren't really huge fans of pro-housing policies. Good to see some good comments here. njbiz.com/jersey-city-...

This really sucks. www.hobokengirl.com/kitchen-step...

Montclair is screweddddd montclairlocal.news/2025/09/we-c...

Fantasy by Mariah Carey came out when I was 10. Heard it the other day - omg, the Tom Tom Club/Talking Heads fans must have been completely insufferable (for good reason) when that was released.

The solution needs to be both modern fare practices as well as automation. Compared to best practices, NJT is way overstaffed with conductors.

Unfortunately, it's become an article of faith for NJ Republicans to oppose free markets in housing, and demand strict central planning. patch.com/new-jersey/w...

I think it's fine actually if hospitals want to do things like sell off unused office buildings, especially if it means hospital functions become more viable. As long as the hospitals keep running. www.tapinto.net/towns/hoboke...
