Well, that's a chicken or an egg thing. If the ferry received enough money that it could cut the cross-Morris-Canal fee to $2 and operate every 15 minutes for three months, maybe usership would rise a lot.

Then, if the ferry could operate every 15 minutes for three months with the price increased to $5, maybe it would make enough extra money from all of the extra passengers that it could survive without the subsidy money.

Very simple solution: Provide subsidy money for the ferry, so it can offer cheaper, more frequent service.

That’s sad (but: understandable!!) but the really simply solution here would have been valet parking.

I think this might be the funeral notice:

I would get the Curbed app and just try to use regular cabs.

We should really picket Cangiano's and keep police from getting lunch until they start doing a better job.

The place around Communipaw where, 380 years today, white people in this region understood that they were starting to commit genocide against the Lenape:

They stole funds from the NJCU? That's terrible. Could you post a link to an article about that?

Does someone have contact information for the pitbull lovers' group? Maybe someone there would have ideas about how to find a dog-friendly apartment.

In my opinion, it might be good to post a query similar to this in r/Newark, if you haven't already, and to stay at an AirBnB in the Jersey City Heights, if possible.

My feeling is that downtown Jersey City was the cool part of Jersey City a few years ago, but that the Jersey City Heights and the area around the Journal Square PATH station are now younger and more interesting, because the rents there are lower.

One example: The farmers market in the Heights is simply much better than the farmers markets downtown.

Downtown Jersey City has nice coffee places, but Cafe Peanut, near Journal Square, has enough room to have live music on Sundays.

Along the same lines: It just seems as if the most fun parts of Newark must be a lot more interesting than Jersey City, because Newark has three real universities and is so much cheaper than Jersey City.

What's really awful is that we get these stories after the water systems went around demonizing bottled water.

Thanks; that's a shame.

Does anyone here know Joyce Watterman? Could people discuss pros and cons of electing her as mayor?

It’s hard to tell what people’s motives are. If you’re really a regular independent person who’s furious about the hit and run and starts downvoting people, OK.

But it just feels as if the volume of anti-DeGise posts, and the mass downvoting of anyone with a slightly different perspective, are too high to be natural.

The county is doing all sorts of terrible things. It’s letting the state, Brian Stack and Paul Fireman pave over and ruin Liberty State Park, for example. And it’s crushing High Tech. But all we hear about is the hit and run, never anything about the bad things the county and state are doing. Probably because the Republicans running the organized anti-DeGise campaign are best friends with Fireman.

What I hate most is the mass downvoting. They’re just a bunch of bullies who can’t tolerate dissent of any kind.

I think some political group (Republicans, or Solomonites, if the Solomonites are actually separate from the Republicans) is just spamming the board with anti-DeGise stuff, then mass downvoting anyone who dares to stand up to them, for the sake of politics.

Whenever I go there, I try to appreciate the fact that it’s now almost pure white, when, not too far in the future, it will probably be dark, dusty gray.

The cousin might be able to pay for a guarantor service.

I’m not sure that it will be the best or cheapest vet clinic, but there’s a clinic opening up around the corner from you on Marin.

Sprove and P&K are right by you and have some Asian foods, and the new Whole Foods might have some, too.

No. I don't understand the references. But the fact that you're responding to my comment with insults about what kind of person I am is an example, in my mind, about why you're not appealing.

Some Amy DeGise opponents on r/JerseyCity post interesting information about her driving record and housing arrangements. I enjoy reading that kind of post.

Other people post a stream of meme posts and other attempts at humor implying that she's the worst person on Earth. If people post a few of those, fine. Certainly, other Redditors have a right to post things like that; not every post on Reddit has to be one I like.

But, after a certain point, the stream of hostile, not-very-funny attempts at humor get old. The question becomes less about why Amy DeGise is still in office and more about the motives of the people obsessed with her.

Again: You have a right be obsessively hostile toward Amy DeGise, as long as you're obeying subreddit rules, Reddit rules and antistalking laws.

But exercising that right too often could backfire and make Amy DeGise start to look like a victim.

I think that Amy DeGise is awful and have my own reasons for loathing the HCDO. But you’re not especially appealing, either.

My initial reaction was, if she's one of the people going on anonymously here about Amy DeGise: No way.

I loathe anyone to do with county government here, but the campaign against Amy DeGise has somehow gotten to be even more horrible than Amy DeGise.

But, if Guy is endorsed by Murphy, well... Murphy is even more horrible than the Amy DeGise bashers. That's a whole different level of Liberty State Park-destroying evil.
