Is there anything actually stopping me from walking in the tunnels? Like is it illegal? Cause they’ve got those little ledges on the sides

When we needed him most, he vanished

That’s a pretty significant bummer

Yeah you’re right. It’s foolish of me to expect there to be any mode of free transit between the country’s largest city and one of its most populous direct neighbors. Also, you’re gonna lose your mind when you hear that the solutions that allow a car to traverse that body of water (i.e. bridges and tunnels) also afford pedestrians the same ability under normal circumstances

Time to invest in some flippers I guess

I was gonna say. I appreciate the answer but its not really a feasible solution to the problem of “walking from JC to Manhattan”.

Yet, still more helpful than the answers that say it’s very easy to walk from JC to Manhattan so long as you’re ok with using a mode of transit other than walking.

Cool! Hopefully my place shakes out the same way

Radical. Thanks for letting me know!

Psychotic advice but I dig it. I think we might be on the same wavelength.

I think you’re definitely right. I took some time to calm down and at least consider some solutions. The lease is signed but I could always talk to the landlord about breaking it. He’s a nice guy. If not, the good thing about my place is that I’m right next to the path station. Either I get an unlimited card or a bike and I can spend the bulk of my free time downtown if I so choose.

I’m more the “leap before you look” type, but I promise I did a good amount of research beforehand lol. The problem is just that I didn’t research the right stuff. I knew I’d be commuting and I’ve actually spent a good amount of time in JC. I just didn’t have the grasp of its geography that I thought I did. I was too focused on finding a nice apartment in my price range but I probably would’ve been happier in a shitty place downtown. Obviously I fucked up lol but I’m inclined to chalk it up to this being my first real move. Not a complete failure to plan as it probably appears.

I guess Linden is just a neighboring city?

Unfortunately, I just signed a lease, so I’m stuck here for the time being

I guess it’s premature for me to be so depressed but I literally just got here today

Thanks for the words. I appreciate it. A year just feels so long right now.

I think im stuck here for the year unfortunately
