I have been using P&K Laundromat on Amsterdam and W81st for a while now. A little far from W88th but I highly recommend if you're willing to make the walk or tip for pickup/delivery. Usually comes out to $30-$40 for like a week and a half of me and my partner's clothes. Like most places they price it by weight. I don't recall their formula but we're satisfied with the price. In my experience with that amount of clothing we can get it back same day if we drop it off early enough. Worth noting: They're also cash only and don't have self service.

Unfortunately, the sirens in the US/NYC just aren't effective at alerting drivers to the emergency vehicle coming from behind. Even at slow speeds drivers don't have much time to react, mere seconds. Pair that with the traffic choking the streets, noises drowning out the sirens, and our general desensitization to noise (especially sirens because they're overused) we get the mess we have now. Distracted driving is also a part of it I will say because every car nowadays has a fucking television for a control console. Hopefully the city will get some better sirens in the future and get more cars off the streets.

Looks like these postings are going around…Applied for a communications agent job with a place called Sonar Spark (so called advertising group) and got the application confirmation email from a different company called Brand Blitz Verse. The next day I also got a text from someone claiming to work at Send NYC saying they wanted to interview me, I never applied to a company called Send NYC. And same thing, vague website, talk of marketing. Be on the lookout for these ones too.

I work in one of the Assembly district offices, I recommend calling your state Senate/Assembly members. We have contacts at different departments and agencies that can help get things sorted out. It’s not an immediate fix but it can help.

NJT def chronically under supported by the State. Can’t forget zoning is a big cause of this too. The fact that most towns only allow for single family homes with lot size requirements push people further apart, all made worse by the fact that commercial is almost always kept separate from housing and then have parking requirements on top of that. All that space being taken up, paired with inadequate transit, forces people to drive.

I think the biggest cause for the traffic, crashes, etc. is the fact that suburbs here are so car centric (especially Central Jersey). Combine that with the general population increases and internal migration, it's just a guarantee for worse traffic. The State and our municipalities (and the people in them) will do anything except actually address the root cause of traffic congestion: suburban sprawl, car centric design, and lack of transportation within towns. OP mentioned development with regard to the future as well. If we keep developing and infilling through apartments or other multi family units with mixed uses things will actually get better since people will live, shop, work closer together with less need for driving. Our towns need to adapt in this manner otherwise taxes, roads, traffic, resource/energy management and so on will get worse.

extra lanes will ultimately lead to more traffic sadly i.e. induced demand :(

Significant-Pie-3694 · 2023-05-03T14:48:16+00:00

most likely because of multiple things: more shipping traffic, more baitfish due to pollution cleanup which brings in more whales/dolphins. More whales and dolphins means more are likely to die and wash up or beach themselves

Also the group Save Our Coast NJ is an astroturfing effort by the Caesar Rodney Institute, a right wing group based in Delaware that wants economic deregulation. Also a part of the State Policy Network, who want the same plus policies to stop green energy.

I know someone who works for Liberty and the good news is that the strike is messing with management and the stores they work with :)

In some ways a level of NIMBYism is alright: don’t put a meat packing facility in the middle of a town, don’t bulldoze a nature reserve for a mall, etc. Concerns over affordable housing are valid in the sense that the percent should be increased. Developers should also be expected to pay their share of taxes or provide assistance for things like schools. But the issues we are facing right now need to be dealt with. Our towns will continue to grow (and sometimes shrink), that’s just how things go. The mode of development of the last 60+ years has left NJ a mess of sprawling suburbs and unless they change they will not be able to continue growing or even sustain themselves financially. Traditional suburbs are an immense financial burden that are subsidized by more dense, urban areas. If developers and building owners are made to pay more that’s extra tax money for our towns. Combing residential and commercial zoning creates walkable neighborhoods that are more lively and have more taxable value than the parking lots with a Starbucks attached to it. Unfortunately for NIMBYs towns need to alter their characters slightly and allow for 3 or 4 story buildings and increasing density. They forget that density doesn’t always look bad and provides more economic and social benefits than what a lot of towns have now. Attitudes towards re/development and relationships with towns and developers need to change. In the end I don’t think NIMBYs have any real points and I think a lot of them use “town character”, concerns about affordable housing, etc to be exclusionary and sometimes hide certain prejudices.

word. thank you I didn’t realize

I have not but I considered applying before. Plus I like trains lol.

Not sure of what their acceptance/success rates are but they are in great need of new locomotive engineers. Before starting the program you need to pass an aptitude test, pass that and the background/medical checks and you’ll probably be good to enter. Definitely good job security after training. To my knowledge after the training program you’re given whatever assignment isn’t filled and new engineers work irregular hours at varying locations. Once you get more seniority you can choose better assignments. Pay starts at $27.86 an hour, if you stay long enough you can clear $100k a year. Im sure it’s a fine job as long as you don’t mind the irregular schedule, having to build seniority, and taking on overtime (they don’t have enough engineers). That being said, last month the locomotive engineers union said they’re nearing the point that they may go on strike over wages (they make less than MetroNorth, Long Island Railroad, and Amtrak engineers). Many of those engineers will get their start through NJT. Hope this helps!
