Reply to comment by agent_ailibis in Follow-up: Does the Atlantic City boardwalk have enough to entertain a group of 14 year olds for 2-3 hours? Just wanting some beach shops, an arcade, ferris wheel, go-karts, etc. Closer and cheaper than Wildwood, not sure if there's a noticeable difference for that brief of a visit by garbageeater

If this was Asbury park? Sure I guess. I lived in Newark for 8 years and still work there. I would not let my teenage children walk around AC alone for hours.

I was a registered republican until 2009. I began listening to Siriusxm radio. David something and then Mark Levin would on while I drove 2 hours every weekend. The terms began bubbling there like Marxist which was used as a coded way for saying "I hate that our president is black". I should have left the party sooner when in the 2008 GOP primary l, they allowed birthers to be speak at the RNC convention. Then the tea party gang showed up, and they were obnoxious, but a minority.

Hot take, nearly all politicians are corrupt power hungry self serving windbags.

I began to cope in 2016 and hope that maybe some form of healthcare plan would actually be produced. It would have guaranteed multiple GOP terms of they had pulled it off. But they were proven to have zero policies and had no idea how to govern. I then looked back and tried to remember when the GOP was able to govern at a state level or national level where fear wasn't a main driving force. I'm no war hawk (like both GWB and Hillary) but the moment the prominent faces of the GOP turned on McCain and ridiculed his service...that was irredeemable for me. The tea party gang had grown and taken over the GOP. We now live in a world where Joe Biden is called a Marxist, which is insane for anyone using their memory. When objectively, he's more of a pre-Newt as speaker moderator republican from the early 1990s. It's a crazy time.

The democrat's largest issue over the last 20 years has been messaging.

Which is why I laughed when some people make comments about "proper" English. Like, ...go back 300 years and try to have a conversation with an English speaker. They'd be about as effective a highschooler who took one year of Spanish.

Giants fans have zero to be upset about. They should have been content with a 7-10 season given the shake up in the off season.

Instead they made it to the divisional rounds of the playoffs with a hodgepodge team and a blown budget. Giant fans should be ecstatic about their season. Jones went from 2020&2021 butter fingers McGee to showing that after like 3 fails QB/offensive systems that he can still develop and significantly improve. Seriously, Giants fans should be over the moon right now.

That said, Philly fans are the worst and deserve nothing. Go grease some lamp posts.

Reply to The new Gateway Center sucks by Echos_myron123

I always get downvoted for pointing out much of the development is for commuters and those who only want an apartment but really live in NY. Meanwhile the developers are handed multidecade tax abatements. So the current residents are partially financing development for a contingent who will only be working and not living in the city.

Call your council person. Know their name and make sure they know yours.

>who keep a cheap rental room in newark for official address

So there are cheap enough rooms to rent that this makes economic sense and yet you believe they need to spend over $2k per month on rent? To be clear, your solution is to have someone who has never seen the US to move to NJ and use a car to commute, do you have any idea how expensive their auto insurance would be? Isn't your mom calling from upstairs for lunch or something ?

I lived in 3 different apartments from studio to 3 bedroom over 8 years living in Newark where I earned my grad degree and still work for the state government. Salaries for public employees are public. Almost no positions would make fiscal sense to do this over.

But he's going to college in Newark. Furthermore, broad st to springfield and the hill from NJMS down to military park is fine, and heavily patrolled by NJIT and Rutgers police. So the pavilion would be right there. Sit your unqualified to speak on this topic self down. Your knowledge is musty at best.

You can live in one of the half a dozen rent controlled buildings in a 600+ sq ft studio in the north ward for 1200/mo including everything but internet. Stfu if you don't know what you're talking about. You're just a fear mongerer talking about things outside of your knowledge base. Go swim in the Passaic
