Totally. Sad because I love all my Hamilton Park neighbors and Heights homies. But in my 15 years in JC, the traffic has always been shitr throughout Hudson County and has gotten way worse in Downtown specifically with the development that has progressed.

My wife is Queens born and raised and I've had to tell her to watch herself with shitty driving here in Jersey. Drivers in NYC are way more understanding of pedestrian traffic.

My wife was crossing by JC Tattoo at that intersection by Newark Ave WITH OUR CHILD in a stroller and some asshole just barely stopped short of hitting them. She glared at him and he got out and threatened her, saying he'd run her over and fuck this, fuck that, blah bullshit blah. Mind you, she is literally crossing at a crosswalk at a busy intersection with lots of pedestrians and stop lights. The lady at the Tattoo shop saw the whole thing and she came out and admonished the guy, and then he started threatening her. Total fucking psycho asshole.

I myself have almost been run over several times, especially at Newport by the fire station on Marin and on Erie by 10th street where traffic heads up to the tunnel. Once I was crossing and some dude literally buzzed right in front of me, like inches. Then he had the nerve to honk at me. I yelled fuck you, the guy literally stops in traffic to yell fuck you back, holding up everyone else. But he couldn't wait the 10 seconds before that for me to safely cross. I was so pissed I ran after his car shouting obscenities until he sped off into tunnel traffic.

Buncha savages in this town.
