gotta repeal the faircloth amendment before any public housing can be built at scale. The only time anything big gets built in this country is when the federal government pays for it.

I mean this is a good idea that I entirely support, but wouldn't that just mean that Bayonne or whatever gentrifies instead of (or more likely in addition to) Jersey City?

Reply to Is this legit? by Key_Performer_6012
I looked at an apt once that had a big sign on the door that said "if you saw this on facebook marketplace that was a scam" what happened was they copied the apartment ad but cut the price by half and had people pay to "apply" and then pocketed the money. Never pay to see an apartment.

I live on Jersey and have had several similar experiences, they should put big sharp speed bumps in the middle of all the intersections.

Reply to Recommendations for a CSA that delivers to JC? by mcx013
Check out farm to people, you get a delivery CSA every week (with varying sizes available) and you can add groceries to your order, so if you need pasta or eggs or something you can add it on and it'll come with the normal CSA delivery. Also, you can adjust what's in the CSA, usually you get, e.g., 10 of 12 things. So if you don't like one item, or want two of another, it's very easy to switch.
I've had it for more than a year now and it's been very reliable. The only issue is that it lacks the romance of getting everything from one farm, but the produce is all local so you're still supporting local farmers.

yeah maybe though I have a hard time imagining bayonne would ever be more desireable than JC even with better connectivity. But I think the point is doubly true for the real suburbs, what's the point of making their commutes easier if there isn't more housing there? Like if the goal is housing affordability without displacement, improving transport alone just shifts the displacement elsewhere
