Lol the city doesn't want rent control for downtown. They need DT to pay those sweet property taxes.

The city doesn't want rent control because all that pocket greasing has to be paid for somehow. Where do you think all these Fulop campaign funds come from? They certainly aren't coming from the Portside Towers Tenant Associations. And therefore, Mayor Steven Fulop doesn't give a flying fuck about enforcing rent control for these folks.

You can look up any building on the website. Which building do you think doesn't pay enough? City of Jersey City Online Payment System

Those buildings was one of the first in the area and help build downtown. Still it pays $3-4 mil a year.

None of which went to schools, for almost 30 years.
