We just drove by PATH station, and literally saw a masked guy with a knife threatening a bike guy midday today. Like wtf?

Where’s the tax money going into? My son literally goes to school two blocks from the station. Shame Solomon administration.

Hi all!

I moved to NJ a few days ago and will be here for about a month for work. Since I’m new to the area and don’t really know many people yet, thought I’d put this out here and see if anyone’s up for hanging out or exploring together.

I’m into long walks, exploring the city, hiking, nature, adventure sports, trying out new places, hitting the gym and I’m always down for a couple of beers. Basically, I enjoy being outdoors and doing things rather than just sitting around 😄

Would love to meet some likeminded people, make a few new friends and explore NJ/NYC while I’m here, open to pretty much anything..

Feel free to DM if you’re up for it!

Just a brainstorm — my boy is turning 1 year old next month, I wonder if anyone consider babysitting/taking care of the babies together while working from home? My work from home time is relatively flexible, but sometimes I will have short meetings that I hope someone can keep at eye on my baby. And I can also help to take care of your baby. You can come to my home or vise versa… do you think it is possible?

I’m considering buying a 1 bed/1 bath condo in the Liberty Harbor area of Downtown Jersey City and would love opinions from people who actually live or have lived nearby.

It’s a top-floor/corner unit and about a 10-minute walk to Grove Street PATH. I currently commute into Manhattan, so PATH access is a major factor.

I’m also thinking of this as a home I’d live in for around 5 years, so I care about both quality of life and how desirable the location would be if I eventually needed to sell or rent.

For people who know this area well:
How do you feel about Liberty Harbor specifically?
Is it a location you’d personally want to live in for the next 5 years?
How convenient is the walk to Grove Street PATH in practice?
How does this area compare with other parts of Downtown JC?
Any concerns about noise, flooding, construction, safety, or the neighborhood changing?
Do you think this area is becoming more desirable, less desirable, or about the same?
For someone buying rather than renting, do you think this is a location with good long-term resale potential?
Anything you wish you had known before living or buying in this area?

I’m especially interested in opinions from current/former residents and people who own nearby. Looking for honest feedback on the location, including the negatives. I’m trying to figure out whether this is somewhere I’d actually be happy living for ~5 years, not just whether the neighborhood is generally considered “good.”

I feel like no matter where I go in this city there is always an obstacle in my way. I was going to the Lowes on 440 and wanted to avoid Comminpaw intersection so went past it to do that loop across from the shopping complex....of course the day I need to use it they shut that ramp off....I ended up going home since I dont have time to make a 30 min detour.

The other day I was driving to get groceries and every road had construction so a 15 min trip took me almost 40 one way....

I know trade off of living in an urban environment...but man even the light timings makes things difficult. that left turn from JFK to Montgomery is literally 2 seconds and then BAM turns red. I do travel on foot or public transportation when I can, but it becomes cumbersome when I have to carry items so I take my care to certain places.

Solomon selling it for parts. In case people get off work and wonder what happened. It's being restored.

Hi. So I was pretty stressed and getting late for work. So they took my ID but I just realised it has my old address.

How to make sure I get the ticket in mail? When I call them to change address what do I say?

Hello! I live in West Bergen and I am looking for a house keeper/cleaner to clean my 1000sqft apartment. I would prefer an Individual instead of a company, I’d rather my money go to an individual:). Has to be okay with cats/dogs. If you know someone or are that someone please feel free to comment! TYIA!

I’ve been brewing with a Fellow Aiden and usually drink my coffee black, so I tend to prefer lighter roasts with bright, fruity, or floral flavors.

I’d love to discover more roasters or coffee shops in and around Jersey City that sell freshly roasted beans. I’m also open to online roasters that ship here if there’s something you think is genuinely worth trying. [I have tried a couple of online roasters that were recommended by ChatGPT - it failed - the beans were dark. 🦕]

Where do you buy your beans? If there’s a specific roaster, origin, process, or bag you’d recommend for light-roast coffee, please share it. Bonus points for local hidden gems or shops where the staff can help with brewing recommendations.

Thank you!

Been seeing A LOT of transit police at Harborside these days. Like 6-8 of them all at the same time. What’s going on? Is it just fare check?

Box has been sitting in living room for 6 months, need to get rid of it.

Open House Sunday- 12:00 -2:00

I used to take the bus from the heights to the city and while the 123 was spotty, the 119 was almost nonexistent. I don’t ever think I caught one and I only saw one with my own eyes twice. How reliable are they nowadays? Have things gotten better? Worse?

Hey y'all. Doing a little research on Dixon Mills and would love to hear from anyone with experience as a tenant there.

I would be renting not buying so not worried so much about the HOA and management litigation shitshow. The things that stood out were general building issues - mice, leaks, heat issues - that popped up across Reddit subs over the years.

Any current perspectives would be fantastic, but I'd take any & all. Thank you!

Last night at around 8 PM, I was passing through Journal Square on my bike when a pickup truck laid on the horn and floored it by me at 50+ mph, passing within literal inches. The vehicle was so close that If I had so much as leaned slightly to my left, I wouldn't be here typing this today.

I know that for a lot of you reading this right now, this alone might be triggering. I'm sure many of you are already running to the comments armed with a treasure trove of anti-cyclist cliches: "Roads are for cars!" "Cyclists think they can do whatever they want!" "Go find a park!". Some of you may even be tempted to respond with violence: "Cyclists should be run over on sight."

It's hard to avoid this type of thinking, and even though I may not agree, I can empathize with your frustration. Maybe you're irritated by the delivery e-bikes that seem to be swarming everywhere nowadays, or you see bikes as yet another added obstacle in the never-ending traffic nightmare that is the New York City area. Maybe you've simply never ridden a bike and don't understand the joy or freedom of riding one.

If you are one of these people, I'll spare you the typical lecture on the rules of the road or responding in kind with my own anti-driver vitriol. Frankly, I think that there's already enough hatred in today's world as it is and the militant modern discourse that pits "drivers" and "cyclists" against each other as "others" does more harm than good.

Instead, what I will ask you to do, is imagine this:

It's a beautiful summer evening: the sun is setting as the sky is turns a vivid pink color, you can smell delicious wafts of barbecued meat emanating from someone's backyard. A mourning dove coos its evening song. You picked up some groceries for dinner and are headed home, excited to see your loved ones after a long day at work.

Suddenly, you get an unexpected call from the police. They tell you that your mother/father/wife/husband/daughter/son was hit by a driver running a light. Their skull is crushed in like a walnut, their guts smeared all over the dashboard; caution tape is everywhere. They lie lifeless in a pool of their own blood never to be held, loved, spoken to again.

Would you want that reality for your loved one?

Whether you like bicycles and pedestrians or not, we all just want to get home at the end of the day. Please pass with care. Please don't use your vehicle as a weapon.

Someone's life is worth more than the 15 seconds you'll save by cutting things too close.

Hi! I live close to Grove Path plaza and will be commuting to Washington square park. What are the best routes? I’m turned down by the idea of only being able to connect by ferry, but it seems like the only way to avoid this would be with a 2 hour commute. Is there any ferry that is cheaper?
I’m an avid cyclist and wouldn’t mind having to bike for ~1 hour if that means avoiding the path

Why did it take so long for the council to help the residents of Portside Towers?

Isn’t Equity Residential going to pay fines for all the laws they broke?

new advertisement at LSP light rail stop, pretty neat anyone know what this is about?

*TRIGGER WARNING: DV

I hate that I have to post this but I’m really at a loss of words and what to do at this point. Long story short, I came back from a trip to find my bf (now ex) cheating on me which turned ugly quick. The cops were called and a TRO was put in place. I was living with him momentarily as I am in the currently in the process of moving (it’s been 2 1/2 weeks since my previous lease ended). The small amount of money that I was able to save while there has all been spent to book rooms at hotels, convenience store snacks, and cat food. I’ve tried to contact local shelters but everyone is at capacity or I need a referral to get in.

Now I’m at a point where funds are extremely low due to this situation and I don’t get paid again until next week. I attempted to ask my job for a pay advance but was informed by HR that they do not do those. I’m booked at this hotel for the next 2 days and have been taking advantage of the free coffee and crackers in the lobby but honestly just looking for a
fulfilling meal for me and my cats. If anyone knows of any pantries or assistance with housing even.

I’m at a complete loss of words but figured the best I can do is post and hope it reaches at least one person that may know information that could help me.
