OP is the type of people who fall for the marketing claims that the David Bowie Holland Tunnel Luxury Loft Lovers Neighborhood (DaBoHoTLLL'n as the locals call it) is part of the wondering Hamilton Park Neighborhood and "seconds" away from public transit and Downtown. OP please be aware!

This is similar to the stories people have posted here of groups of teens/kids robbing them with weapons on the waterfront/newport/back up 2nd street. Could be unrelated, but still that gnarly

People like to stereotype the ‘newer’ residents, but fail to see the entrenched lifers as also perpetuating issues under the banner of ‘that’s just how it is go back to the suburbs’. ‘BUT ITS A CITY THATS HOW IT IS’ is used to justify such fucking bullshit… I get it man you gotta do what you gotta do time your whole life in a disinvested city but what if the OP lost their job for being late over this? Why do people double park when there are open spots or a hydrant to block if they really are only a minute? You see we LIVE IN A SOCIETY MAN,

And some people create their own neighborhoods, like SoHo West!

LSP isn’t downtown, but the edge facing downtown (which also used to not even have a car road) completes the boundary in conjunction with 78

But Brawndo's Holland Tunnel got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes carbon dioxide!

Please don’t try to make a new fetch happen

Yeah attitude checks out

Yeah but it’s outside 78. Inside 78 and LSP are the boundaries I’d use.

We need rules or else we’re just animals, and the David Bowie Lofts and Holland Tunnel Exhaust Fumes District (or as the locals call it, DaBoLoHoTuExFuDi) doesn’t make the cut.

With a whole new set of baskets to rob! Will it be the stylish black ones, or the dark green ones? I can't wait to see

It's on the other side of 78, I personally wouldn't call it downtown

I mean JC was like 5-6 cities until the unification. One of the reasons we have so many smaller commercial districts.

Still giving the side eye at Hoboken & Bayonne for opting out of what could have been

Also Kearny.

The few I tried didn’t have them, but that was more than a couple years ago when they were still newer so I’ll have to try again.

The cardi b flavor is the besssssst.

I haven’t found any corner stores in JC that carry rap snacks, do you have a hookup?

At least since the guy that took the most upvoted dinner selection and ended up at McDonald’s

I dunno about the OP, but the roads around some of the $$$ luxury condos they’re building around the tunnel are actually completely awful.

While true, they’re trying risk mitigation not eliminating it completely.

This existed in a less public way pre COVID, if that’s what you’re on about. Do you have no realtives that have gotten organ transplants, had chemo, ect? Risk mitigation is part of their lives around public germs

They’re not afraid of the world, they’re trying for risk mitigation. It’s okay dudes

Ignore folks giving you grief OP. They have some bad takes without knowing your situation, and it’s a reasonable request you have around minimizing risk.

I know people with medical conditions still having a tough time. It’s the high respiratory illness rate overall going on this winter among other things. It’s a bit sad, but asking about COVID seems to trigger people; if you asked the same question but said your partner was going through Chemo and wanted to minimize risks I wonder if people would be so ‘lol get over it’. Not everyone is a fit, healthy 20-30 something with low risks

I’m guessing you moved to the David Bowie Lofts District AKA The Horseshoe Taint (DBLDAHT) and expected luxury?

On the list full stop

We used to have a much larger Polish population
