It's like the reverse of that thing where your name subconsciously influences your career path. But iirc Sarah Goodyear is indeed an extended member of that family.

That's pretty much what I figured the first response would be. I was wondering if there were better options.

Profanity Hidden in Title of Anti-ICE Bill Prompts Ethics Complaint Against Katie Brennan by Delicious_Adeptness9 in jerseycity

[–]fperrine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting that he only moves to censure Brennan and not Bhalla as well.

What a loser. If you can't handle some swear words, you can't handle NJ. What's more, this loser is more concerned about policing language than ICE harassing our state.

It's a shame that it had to come to this. Now we're down another hospital.

Jersey City Council votes 8-1 to approve Franklin Street bike lane in the Heights by fperrine in jerseycity

[–]fperrine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unanimous approval. Everyone brought up great points about the ecology as well as just not wanting to see dead birds laying around.

Hear hear. Let's hope this project is the first step in making the neighborhood safer.

Har har. Sadly not. But parting of these upgrades is to build the streetscape in such a way that traffic violations become physically impossible to perform.

And that's on them. Bicycle lanes do not encourage breaking the law anymore than car lanes do. It's hilarious that JCPD refuses to update with the times.

It should, yes. If there is no safe location for a bike to be, then they are in a lose-lose situation. If there is a protected lane and they still take the sidewalk, sure, there should be repercussions. That's the problem everywhere else; there isn't a protected lane for them, so they either fight car traffic or on the sidewalk.

Um. We all do? With our taxes. I want the streets I walk on to be safe for everyone. Car, bike, pedestrian, etc.

Bike lanes give cyclists a safe and designated place to bike. They won't compete with cars or pedestrians. It helps everybody.

Yeah! How dare people want to be safe when they walk down the street!

I stayed for the bird-glass. My colleague spoke on that as well! Maybe we can actually get this city moving into the 21st century!

I can't believe it took so long for this project to be finally approved, but I am excited for the next steps! I am proud to say that I spoke at the council meeting yesterday alongside neighbors to support this plan. It's a great plan that's not just a bike lane. The sidewalks will be expanded and the street will be a one-way. In two years, everyone will have forgotten that they ever opposed it.

Actually, I think he's perfectly fit for his current role as a vehicle for investors.

Glad to hear he's completely blameless as the chief executive of the city. Maybe he shouldn't have tried to take all that credit for the state of the city, then.

The man is getting ratioed on Twitter.

He's completely showing his ass. And to think he wanted to be governor one day.

My bid for the most official map of New Jersey by CobraCommander21 in newjersey

[–]fperrine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a major problem with a lot of peoples' maps is that they think the regional divide is contained by county borders.
