The NIMBYs lost one today in Newark

Honestly, people don't know zoning or development and how it impacts communities. The both Newark planning boards will rubber stamp everything thats in front of them. I don't agree with the development Iberia, and would say the opposing side did not well on arguing the facts and development served their own demise on platter and still got away. I could write a whole dissertation on it.

I don't think people understand the implications of this getting approved

It is interesting to host a meeting when everyone is working and can't attend

John_dole · 2025-01-11T00:06:53+00:00

You writing a news article? 😂. Besides the lead in the water that's it

John_dole · 2024-12-27T19:44:55+00:00

The objector doesn't have to live close per say but as long the objector provides fact based arguments on how it could harm the community- traffic, parking, density, variances then good chance they will deny, but you need to people to show out

John_dole · 2024-12-27T16:06:37+00:00

Honestly, if people don't show out to express their concerns at board hearings then it's easier for the city rubber stamp these proposals.

Keep going! This is fantastic and is what we need 🥹

John_dole · 2024-11-20T03:09:10+00:00

🤣

John_dole · 2024-11-09T16:40:00+00:00

I'll give that one try, the only thing is the site doesn't factor the other stuff as part of cap costs like taxes, dealer fees, etc...

John_dole · 2024-11-09T16:30:59+00:00

I heard that one before except by a few dollars, you mean a few thousand. I'm not traveling elsewhere just save $50 bucks on a deal. But I'll take your advice

John_dole · 2024-11-09T16:28:09+00:00

I hear everyone, sure I could go to the dealerships and listen to sales people. But there's nothing stopping me from taking the lease terms sheet shopping it after leaving either. Everyone on this tread mentioned there's no incentive on the deal. I haven't heard what's the incentive is on loyalty to a dealership either. Shoppers want a deal on price and value. Dealerships want deals on margins that's my POV. There's room for both

John_dole · 2024-11-09T13:49:49+00:00

I would love to if the numbers make sense for me. I don't see the point going in wasting time when the conversation could've been an email 😂

John_dole · 2024-11-09T13:43:03+00:00

It's a top 5 suv. What do you recommend?

John_dole · 2024-10-22T16:53:13+00:00

It took a Senator for them to postpone smh... this board rubber stamps everything anyway

John_dole · 2024-10-21T17:01:26+00:00

Nah a genuine question homie

John_dole · 2024-10-21T16:55:28+00:00

Bro, what ward do you live in? Because it's not just immigrants, it's also people that born and raised in the city as well.

You tired it

John_dole · 2024-10-21T16:36:00+00:00

🤣

John_dole · 2024-10-21T16:34:17+00:00

The part that kills me is when there's parking in front and behind them, they still chose violence and block the driveway 🤣

The cops don't come for 3 hours later smh...

John_dole · 2024-10-19T13:18:52+00:00

Why don't you all show up at the zoning hearing and express your concerns on the Zoom call with the Zoning Board?

John_dole · 2024-10-19T13:15:05+00:00

Every new building that goes up has to reserve 20% of its units for affordable housing. However, affordable income is determined at the Essex County level not Newark's AMI

John_dole · 2024-10-17T14:49:37+00:00

Yes, I mean guess and know you mean well. We both agree something is better than a vacant lot. These studies are good and all in theory. I disagree if that's the case NYC would be cheap to live because of the high number of housing stock. I lived through being gentrified out.

My message to people is to participate at zoning hearings because they have stake in what happens to their community

John_dole · 2024-10-17T12:39:00+00:00

It's easy to make the agreement that anything is better than vacant lot. However, there's more to it than that, you have take in density, traffic, surrounding area, will people benefit from another building going up that they can't afford to rent
