Soil contamination, Has to be remediated

There are private schools that cost less per student than the NYC public schools…

I guess you’ve gotten 77 places you’ll be potentially moving to

Progressives are NIMBY af, they just call anything new gentrification. Thankfully they recently seem To be shifting to more YIMBY but tbd

Cleveland built a pedestrian drawbridge over a similar area so the concept is doable.

Cost about $13 million and they used state and fed grants. Honestly wouldn’t be a bad idea

Pretty sure the state paid for and did the bridge across Jersey Ave

I doubt you’re going to get much buy in for calling a neighborhood the Taint for general usage. No way parents are Going to tell their kids they live in the taint lmao

This is a great project, actual income integration instead of concentrated poverty

Didn’t expect a playground, that’s nice

They’re all examples proving you wrong, you’re just too stubborn to listen There’s also studies but you don’t believe in science either.

At the end of the day you somehow believe that if we didn’t build any new buildings Jersey City would still be cheap, which flies in the face of any reason, logic, studies, real world examples and common sense.

You’re never going to be convinced you’re wrong, so why argue with you.

Also if you can’t find a decent lunch that’s on you lmao

You’re right building literally no additional commercials units or housing means that these existing bodegas would be there forever. 🙄

You think the multi million dollar brownstones DT JC 10 min from lower manhattan would be available for pennies if they didn’t build more dense housing ?

I forget, that worked for soho right? Still the cheap drug artist den ? I mean they’ve been fighting rezoning since forever. The village? They’re still affordable, I mean don’t see any new luxury buildings there so they must be

Yeah because it used to be 10 people in a bedroom, let’s not go back to tenement housing

Have you never seen the videos on Reddit of Tesla owners catching keyers because of the cameras on them ?

Y’all crazy

Go down coles St you will go under the highway, and you’ll see some cool murals while you’re there.

Sidewalk is shitty atm, but allegedly per City Council Solomon it will be fixed

I feel like they have one more adult themed exhibit at a time from my experience volunteering there. By the looks of this one it should be interesting for you

I did read the whole article, idk why you’re acting like it’s a definitive statement. They’re also not comparing change in density,

> For a city supporting 20,000 people, moving from low rises to high rises without changing the density results in 140% more carbon emissions.

Finally

> Ultimately, how tall a city should build depends on multiple environmental and socioeconomic factors, including affordable housing needs and greening efforts.

Nowhere in the article Did it say mid rise builds are superior to high rises in all cases. Also show me how you could fit more units on this land while also keeping the low rise plaza and green space

> The takeaway here shouldn’t be that skyscrapers are bad,” he says. But reconsider them as the solution to our current climate crisis.

> the study focuses solely on building emissions, and doesn’t account for other factors like transportation, design or the type of land cities build on, which affect their carbon output. More study is also needed to confirm if their conclusions still hold true for increasingly larger populations.

Don’t take such a simplistic high rise bad low rise viewpoint. If these were mid rises then it would be harder to create the accompany low rise plazas and green space.

And finally if you’re still not convicted, remember not to let perfect get in the way of the good

Tall buildings scary 👻

It’s replacing an empty lot, and 17 stories isn’t even that tall. That neighborhood is getting taller. it includes retail, affordable housing and a rec center and looks good. But beyond all that more housing is good

Not tacos or pizza so I guess this sub will be happy

You can make good money off Uber

Not a clothing chain, I only buy my locally hand made artisanal clothes 😤

If you’re paying $50 for a basic haircut you’re getting ripped off

Seems like missed opportunity for housing above the store 🤷‍♂️

Fair distinction, private funded construction
