Just popping in to thank u for this comment- looking for potential other options in JC cuz my wife and I really like it here and want to stay.

True- but the solution to those issues isn’t harassing and fining and arresting people who can’t even afford to pay the fare, let alone legal fees.

I know it’s an unpopular opinion on this sub for some reason but idgaf. acab bud. I’ve had clients who either had to choose between fare-hopping or their fucking medication because they were down to the cent and homeless. Prosecuting fare hoppers is a waste of time and an excuse to harass people.

I mean. Or cars that hit people on bikes

Nah I’m with you on this. Cops stand around all day where I am. Don’t give a shit about everyone nearly getting run over by fucking bikes who can’t decide if they’re pedestrians or vehicles. Can’t enforce that. Can barely give a shit when you call them for actual help.

But harassing people who fare jump? Oh top priority.

All this is just making me even more glad I decided not to move into fucking Newport when we came to JC. I remember seeing an apartment and it looking scungy as all hell, despite being empty and apparently ready to be moved into. Ugh. Glad I trusted my gut and moved elsewhere.

Paying less for carpet, an actual view, and no roaches.
