I know what this is and I don’t support it. I don’t understand why any member of the public would support it.
I’m not saying give them 3 chances. I’m saying give them this one. If you’ve spent time there, you would agree that there is no way the staff would support this cause if they knew what they were signing up for.
If they host more events now that they know, feel free to judge. Gotta give everyone a chance.
It’s not fair to assume that anybody knows anything.

No, I support local businesses. It’s different but you seam to be closed minded and unable to empathize with a business owner who clearly didn’t know what they accepted. See the situation, not just the outcome. You’ll be a happier person.

Don’t let a few anonymous people on Reddit instill fear in you over this. Nobody who was actually going to visit 902 is going to avoid your business over letting a group host an event that those people don’t agree with. Just don’t make any donations. Charge them full price!

Reply to Can anyone recommend a good auto body place? by mikevago
If your willing to drive the 30-40 minutes- I’ve been going to CARS Autobody in Clinton for years and all my family and friends go there. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

I live in Jersey City too. Just had mine increased similarly. Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do. Landlords have extra justification to raise rent here since the property tax went up a lot the past 2 years. They gave you the proper amount of notice (legally speaking)

Reply to Auto Mechanic and help needed by MarlonBrando1729
You’re looking for an auto body shop/person, not a mechanic. Some may take offense since they do very different work.
I recommend posting it in a Mazda sub for estimated quote from people. If the piece is plastic, usually it needs to be fully replaced so even something like that trim piece could cost over $500 easily.

Reply to Bicycle commuter friendly? by efronerberger
I enjoyed street cycling for exercise before moving to Jersey City. To gauge my interest level. I’d say I was probably averaging about 100 miles a week. I kept riding for about a month, then I decided it wasn’t worth the stress with the local drivers. I could loop the same parks, but that gets boring quick so I switched to a Peloton.

I live in a 2 person, 2 bedroom apartment in Jersey City. Average we spend monthly on groceries is probably 500-600. Electric bill averages $150-$200 but we have electric heat so it’ll be less if your apartment is efficient. We have 1 car which costs us 300/mo to park, 100/mo insurance, average 200/mo gas and maintenance.

Normal for the season if your heat is electric PTAC units. Mine went up about that. Get excited, it’ll about double again when it hits deep winter!

The train goes in one way and out the other. The “driver” literally walks from one end of the train to the other to operate it at Hoboken. Some people walk faster then others.

I park in a set park garage downtown. I’ve been using it for over 2 years now. One time so far I came back and there were no spots left. I just left my car not in a place where it wasn’t preventing anyone from getting out. Came back to move it the next day. No issue. I figure since I’m a monthly parker, the management can look up my phone number by my plate and call me if there’s an issue.

It should be legal to push anyone riding a bike on the sidewalk over. Just walk it if you’re on the sidewalk.
To be clear: I do not apply this wish to children learning to ride on the sidewalk.

I didn’t realize you were using a realtor. I’m sure it’s real if you have a realtor. The realtor is the professional. Ask them your concerns then go with your gut. Good luck!

Yeah, good point. I didn’t realize that was only 1.5x.
I would just be uncomfortable to give that much money for an apartment that hasn’t been seen.

As others have said, I wouldn’t rent without seeing it either. The landlord should want you to see it before signing the lease to avoid future issues for both of you.
If the landlord isn’t letting you see it, that in combination with an excessively high security deposit screams scam to me. Even if the building exists, this person may not be the owner’s representative. I care less about the clauses in the lease here, but I definitely recommend meeting with the “representative” in person at the property. Even if your unit is occupied, they have the legal right to notify the tenant and get you a tour. Otherwise, you should at least walk the halls of the building before signing.

Reply to comment by Eatthatriceball in Stolen Bike by Eatthatriceball
I have one of those keeper locks too and if I remember correctly, kryptonite has a warranty for if your bike gets stolen. The one I bought was for up to $500. I just needed the receipt from buying the bike and lock to register it. Maybe see if you can do this retroactively.

I’d stay away from this purely from a liability perspective. As a neighbor, I wouldn’t be mad about a cable ramp made for the outdoors but definitely check to see if your homeowners policy would cover someone tripping.
