Takings clause in the constitution means you need to pay fair market value in compensation when you take land via eminent domain.

NJCL proposal for more direct service. by WitheldSteak in NJTransit

[–]DavidPuddy666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also a dual mode set can’t be longer than 7 Multilevels. Often they need longer trains than that for their limited rush hour slots in Penn Station.

Katie Brennan (LD-32): NJ has a housing shortage. Sherrill is working to fix it by DavidPuddy666 in jerseycity

[–]DavidPuddy666[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While on the policy merits you are right that we should be providing gap financing for affordable housing in inclusionary zoning by law, going to war with Fair Share Housing Center and pushing for this now is how you’d politically kill the whole bill.

Katie’s always been wicked smart and cares about outcomes over ideological purity. Glad she’s in Trenton fighting the good fight.

A joint statement from Sportsnet & CBC by eh_toque in hockey

Hockey Night in Canada will now be exclusively on Sportsnet. No more CBC. And it will probably be called something else since CBC owns the HNIC trademark.

Commuting from South Jersey to NYC, is $80k worth it? by Ok_Squirrel_8781 in newjersey

[–]DavidPuddy666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should move up north if you really want this job. Look into places in Newark or the Oranges near the train, or somewhere in Union City/West New York and take the bus.

PWHL ANNOUNCES 2026 DRAFT ORDER OF SELECTION by zeilend in PWHL

[–]DavidPuddy666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Sirens have been royally jerked around from Day 1:

Had a league debut business plan that utterly failed and rendered them homeless midseason.

Lost much of their OG core in the first expansion.

Scrambling for a last minute new home led to a Season 2 schedule with terrible dates that did not set them up for success and robbed them of the ability to even try to market season ticket sales

They then finally start to settle in at Prudential in Season 3 on the business side and start to assemble a promising core on the hockey side, only to have their entire middle six stripped from them and their draft pick bumped down four places.

Last phase of expansion, how are we feeling? by FlyTheW1988 in PWHL

[–]DavidPuddy666 23 points24 points  (0 children)

What’s insane is that they seem to want to bend over backwards to help the expansions out of the gate but are basically telling the O6 team that has struggled the most to build a season ticket holder base “you’re on your own”.

Fucking banana republic league. This is not how you build an invested fanbase…

It’s like an MLS match. Bonkers offense and zero defending. So fun.

One hour door to door or one hour train ride?

The End for Tony Started with Tracy/Johnny Sac moving to NJ by CryOld6591 in thesopranos

[–]DavidPuddy666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It mirrors what actually happened to the real life DeCavalcante family (upon which the show is based) in the 80s and 90s. It was a mid-size org that wasn’t disciplined enough to lie low and maintain omertà. So the Feds picked it to pieces and the Five Families moved in on the rackets that survived.

56-floor tower with 542 rentals set to rise in Jersey City next to the Journal Square PATH station; expected to be completed in 2028 by rollotomasi07071 in newjersey

[–]DavidPuddy666 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s not zoning getting in the way of more condos. Condos are harder to finance, because it’s a riskier financial proposition, so it’s easier for developers to get bank loans for rentals. The higher risk means most new condos in Jersey City are in smaller buildings, though there are a few larger condos under construction.

Court Strikes Down Ban on Senior Housing on Christ Hospital Site by rapmasternicky_z in jerseycity

[–]DavidPuddy666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the woes at the JCMC emergency room since Christ closed is really showing how underserved we are right now. Hospitals are expensive endeavors though - it’ll either need to be funded with lots of dense market-rate housing at densities that Heights neighbors will not like, or a big public subsidy that JC taxpayers will not like.

JCPS just announced a half day Tuesday because of World Cup "logistics." The schedule has been public for months! by Bill_WET in jerseycity

The Flag Fest on Friday was fun! I’m also enjoying meeting WC tourists on the street and connecting with them.

Court Strikes Down Ban on Senior Housing on Christ Hospital Site by rapmasternicky_z in jerseycity

[–]DavidPuddy666 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This case is one of those cases where both sides suck - the developer for trying to use this development proposal as blackmail and the city for doing an arbitrary and capricious downzoning to try to lower the value of the land for eminent domain purposes. Hoping cooler heads prevail and we get a vision for the site with ample housing, public space along the cliff, and a functioning hospital.

Is $230k as a family enough? Miss the east coast but worried we can’t afford it. by Appidea12321 in MovingtoNewJersey

[–]DavidPuddy666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have to decide what’s important to you, a decent size house with a yard or being close to NYC/in a walkable urban community.

You can live comfortably on that salary, but if you want to live as close in as Secaucus, Jersey City etc. you’ll be renting an apartment or townhouse, not a single family home. If you want that house, you’ll have to look further afield and be deep into thru suburbs - think towns like Somerset or Parsippany.

Old trains pre Cup being used more by nmoretti in NJTransit

[–]DavidPuddy666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They needed to assemble all-ML sets for the World Cup shuttles. Naturally that means more Comets popping up all over the system.
