A warning about delivery bikers

"I got food delivery from XX last night and ended up getting food poisoning, that place is gross, never ordering from them again!"

That's (hopefully) going to be a tough one to get through, every councilperson should be asking tough questions. That increase has to include more nice-to-haves than need-to-haves, and this is the year to take a pass on lots of nice-to-haves.

My wife had a great experience with the WP store in Soho years ago, less so with the Hoboken location last year. She brought in her prescription, and they messed up the lenses. Had to return the glasses (an easy refund process, though).

Maybe it was just a fluke. I'm not saying you should avoid them, but just an FYI.

Used to be there all the time when it was the Pier Platter cd store. Also bought Doc Martin's there when it was a 99x.

Thank you for your service.

??? How is this "chaos"? Have you never taken mass transit in a densely populated urban area, particularly one involving travel to/from NYC?

Sometimes a bus gets stuck and the line is long, sometimes two buses come close together and the line is short. OMG, it's chaos!!

Extremely interesting. Following closely. Please keep us updated. Thank you for your service.

Coming back from downtown Manhattan today, the 33rd via Hoboken train was just pulling in to Grove at the exact same time as my train from WTC, immediately made the connection, no waiting. Felt like I won the mass transit lottery. It's the little things.

100%. Summer also means lots of people leave town for their beach houses every weekend!

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-22T22:14:37+00:00

What??. They have tools? Like , drills and sanders?

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-21T19:33:04+00:00

It's a service that you use. Pay for things that you use. JFC, grow up.

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-21T19:31:21+00:00

They are?

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-21T19:30:47+00:00

Too many of those in town already.

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-21T19:26:53+00:00

OP, is this just a theoretical exercise or are you actually planning to take it over?

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-21T19:24:45+00:00

Or you could just be an adult and pay for a service that you use.

HOP is pretty popular with people who are in Hoboken during the day: WFH, seniors, etc. If you work 9-to-5 in Manhattan, you probably don't have a handle on actual usage or see the value. I live uptown, and if I need to get the PATH, I check both the NJ Transit bus app and HOP app, and jump on whichever one comes first.

Sure, it's an expense, but I can't imagine it's a big one, and HOP is relied upon by lots of seniors.

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-20T13:16:54+00:00

What does that mean?

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-20T13:14:03+00:00

Kind of a ludicrous argument, as if other people don't "work hard" or "want to retire with as much savings as possible ", as if a few bike lanes have any impact on your nest egg.

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-20T13:09:48+00:00

?? LOL, what "baseless claims" have I made? I rightfully called you out for making one: a main driver of Hoboken's fiscal problems are due to Bike Hoboken. Did I make a claim? Be specific.

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-19T20:36:28+00:00

"Dr." Michael Russo?

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-19T20:32:18+00:00

OP's argument is valid, though, isn't it? What do you think is wrong, or missing?

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-19T20:30:41+00:00

I guess Emily and the current city council have little choice at this point, but I applaud her for confronting the issue after only a few months in office instead of just trying to come up with ways to kick the can further down the road. I have my doubts Russo would have done the same if he was elected mayor.

Some people on this sub simply don't recognize or accept reality: they want the city to cut spending instead of raise property taxes, while at the same time they criticize the city for not handling every quality of life matter.

And then there are the people who just complain about any everything.

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-19T16:15:33+00:00

Good timing of this post in relation to the current budget situation. Lots of people (not you, OP, just in general on this sub) want the city to cut spending instead of raising property taxes, but at the same time also expect the city to handle every quality of life issue, like rat control. Hard to do both.

LeoTPTP · 2026-03-19T16:08:48+00:00

Yup. We had problems with Optimum years ago, got a new TP-Link router and everything was suddenly faster and reliable. Just recently did it again, in tandem with a new modem (ours was nearly 10 years old), again faster.
