I’m a pretty big anti-car guy but it’s not a new issue that you can’t walk across rivers. Any pedestrian bridge would have to be as high as the GW to let ships through. It’s just not practical. The ferry or PATH is inexpensive and convenient.

This is malicious. We’ve got people in jail for drug possession and this guy is just walking free

Reply to Would you say that you identify more with NJ or the US as a whole? by mszanka
Jersey for sure. I’m a proud American and if America was attacked I would defend it. But jersey is my loyalty. I don’t have any control over the rest of the country, but a single person can have an impact at the local level.
You can call your senator a thousand times about healthcare or the tax code or whatever and never get a call back. But if you are persistent enough on a local level, a single determined individual can get a new stop sign put in, or can improve trash pickup or whatever tf it is.
