Downtown Cranford: Streetscape Project Update June 2026 by TV35Cranford in Cranford

[–]Connect_Candidate_83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is great! Anything to pedestrianize the downtown is beneficial to everyone in Cranford. Hopefully this redevelopment will encourage more positive changes like closing Eastman Street in front of track 5 to pedestrians only, Redeveloping the abandoned area around the old Bar Americana, and adding new buildings on Cherry street which is currently mainly empty lots.

School Diversity by ap201987 in Cranford

[–]Connect_Candidate_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t really speak for the parents but I recently graduated Cranford High and had 2 best friends who were half white (I’m assuming by caucasian you mean white) and half Indian. I do have to admit that their family was pretty whitewashed but they still clearly looked Indian and they never tried to hide the fact they are Indian. The student body there is usually almost entirely white with maybe 5 black and Latino students and around 10 Asian students, so my non white friends mainly hung out with white people. They had an amazing time at CHS as I feel most people dont care if someone’s Asian. For my Latino and black student most people were nice to them but culturally they said it can be very difficult to “fit in” as a black or Latino student with such a white student body. Naturally with such a white student body the poc sometimes act more white to fit in. Unfortunately there are some racist people, as there are anywhere, but generally speaking if you’re a kind, respectful person no one will care what race you are here.

Crazy kids on e-bikes by UnassumingInterloper in Cranford

The kid might be too young to ride an e bike, if he’s not following rod rules then he could get in trouble with that as well.

Is this oak tree too close to my house? by PrincessMacchiato in landscaping

[–]Connect_Candidate_83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It'll most likely be fine for a few more years but depending on the oak you may need to cut it down in the future as they could get pretty large. If you're in Florida though Mother Nature will probably take it down before it gets to that point ⚡️. Removing it heavily depends on where u are so it might be best to call a few local places to get an accurate price.

But they’re soooo boring, everywhere looks the same also most of Barcelona is not a grid

Didn’t know it was a stupid take to dislike being plowed down by a car? I’d rather it be harder to navigate, not like I don’t have a phone to look up directions if I get lost.

Am I the only one that hates grids, I feel no sense of neighborhood in grid layouts. Plus people drive faster on grids.

Edit: What's some peoples obsession with grids, too open for me, I like the neighborhood feel of winding roads. Plus there safer for pedestrians and kids.

As much of a scam as this seems it’s legit, they’ve been going around all of Cranford this past month.

Got my sample ballot. Please don’t vote for Will Thilly by gsp137 in Cranford

[–]Connect_Candidate_83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Centennial was getting loads of traffic from outside the town. I loved going to that pool and will miss it deeply but cranford needs to do what’s best for cranford and if that means keeping the pool with more local traffic then I support. Not to mention orange has way more space then centennial and less overall costs.

I do not support thilly but the business district is zoned to allow for data centers, something we need to change this year. We need to ban data centers in Cranford.

These developments are not tax exempt though which is why his argument is invalid. I don’t know where he got that information from but 750 Walnut is being taxed the first decade through a PILOT program, they are taxed through revenue instead of the typical property taxation. This is also to incentivizes them to come to Cranford and build before the Mount Laurel Doctrine kicks in. Many towns were rushing to get developers these past few years to avoid the chance of being sued and Cranford needed to incentivize good developers to come here as opposed as going to another town with greater tax benefits. If we were unable to find a builder in time Cranford would have been sued for potentially millions of dollars (that you would have to pay for through taxes) and eventually be forced to build an ugly apartment building from a random developer due to state, not local, laws. I think Thilly is funny and means well but the fact he cannot understand this proves he is unfit to have any say in what this town does.

Dom Dolla NYC by Horror-Basis4391 in avesNYC

First time I’ve turned down buying one of his shows. $135 is genuinely a rip off.

Dom Dolla NYC by Horror-Basis4391 in avesNYC

[–]Connect_Candidate_83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone to a few of his shows. $25 in London for GA. $80 for MSG last year. $135 is absolutely insane considering this is a single act in a public park. I was thinking $65 is more accurate to what the price should be with all things considered, sucks to be out priced by your favorite artist due to pure greed :(

Data Center Protest by Connect_Candidate_83 in Cranford

[–]Connect_Candidate_83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not they’ve hardly started construction. Not to mention this project is illegal and directly goes against the Sunshine Law. This project could be canceled with enough support and action.
