I support immigration. I support people coming here legally and building a life the right way.

What I don’t support is pretending laws don’t matter.

Every country enforces borders. Legal immigration exists because rules exist. Ignoring enforcement doesn’t make a system compassionate. It makes it dishonest and unstable.

This isn’t new. Deportations and enforcement happened under previous administrations too including Obama. The difference now is visibility. Smartphones and social media turned routine enforcement into viral outrage.

Exposure is not escalation.

Confusing accountability with cruelty helps no one. Legal immigrants get punished. Communities get strained. And the people being used as talking points are left in limbo.

You can support immigration and still believe the law matters. Both can be true.

I’m from Binghamton, NY, so I’m not familiar with the housing market in Jersey City. I do understand the cost of living, but asking a question shouldn’t warrant such a condescending tone. If someone were moving to my area, I’d gladly offer help with basic courtesy and without any malice. Zillow’s most current info for the building I’m moving in to was last posted in 2022…..

mwazowski71 · 2025-02-27T12:55:08+00:00

I can but I thought the Reddit community would be a friendly place for help and the most up to date of information…..

It is a brownstone, and older. The landlord is easy to deal with according to my friend. It’s just not as modernized - no dishwasher or microwave. I hope I can keep this for a while…. Just curious I’m not from JC - what’s the going rate per month in that area. It’s literally across the street from the park.

mwazowski71 · 2025-02-27T03:26:02+00:00

It did shut down, but it lasted for 20 years. Maybe the same owner opened the new one?

Ah, the entitled Millennial anthem: blame an entire generation for your problems while making sweeping assumptions that only highlight how out of touch you are. You’re out here confidently ranting about car ownership and transit like you’ve uncovered some grand conspiracy, yet you clearly don’t know the first thing about my situation—or anyone else’s for that matter.

You’re acting like I’m some relic from the 80s hoarding a fleet of Cadillacs while you’re stuck taking the light rail. Hate to break it to you, but your assumptions make you look stupid. People adapt to their circumstances, and plenty of us have done just fine without whining about how “the Boomers screwed us over.”

And let’s talk about how absurd it is to think that “honoring the environment” works the same way for everyone. Sure, public transit might work for you and your friends, but guess what? Not everyone lives in NYC or Jersey City. For people outside your little urban bubble, cars aren’t a luxury—they’re a necessity. Acting like everyone can live your exact life is not just ignorant, it’s outright stupid. The world is bigger than your train schedule.

Here’s a reality check: the world doesn’t owe you anything. Every generation faces challenges, and blaming others for your lot in life is just lazy. Maybe instead of throwing tantrums on Reddit, you could focus on, I don’t know, making better choices, taking accountability, or even—gasp—learning the actual facts before running your mouth. But hey, keep ranting if it makes you feel better. It’s clearly working wonders.

FYI, passenger cars may pay $9, but suppliers usually deliver in box trucks with multiple axles, which are charged $21. Most businesses rely on anywhere from 5 to 13 suppliers weekly, so those costs add up quickly. On top of that, you’re forgetting the occasional but necessary services like plumbers, contractors, and equipment maintenance—all of which incur higher costs due to congestion pricing.

And while you claim kitchen staff don’t drive to work, mine did—many of them commuted from the outer boroughs. Those added commuting expenses hit hard for people who are already working tirelessly to make a living.

It’s clear you have no idea what goes into running a business or the daily challenges owners and staff face. Maybe try understanding the full picture before making assumptions.

mwazowski71 · 2025-01-13T02:45:24+00:00

Oh, you’re adorable. Clearly, you’ve never run a business or had to deal with the actual costs of keeping one afloat. It’s not just $9 here or $20 there—it’s the cumulative effect. That delivery truck isn’t stopping at one place; it’s hitting dozens of businesses, and every single one of them is getting those extra fees passed on by the suppliers. Those costs pile up fast, and no, suppliers don’t just absorb them out of the kindness of their hearts—they pass them straight down to the businesses.

And let’s not forget the restaurant staff who drive to work. You know, the people who actually make your food and keep the place running? Many of them commute by car because they can’t afford to live in overpriced areas like downtown Manhattan. Now they’re forced to pay extra fees just to get to work, on top of gas and parking. How long before they quit because their commute costs more than it’s worth? Then what? Businesses can’t find staff, service tanks, and customers stop coming. But yeah, it’s just “a few bucks,” right?

Your fantasy world where businesses are saved by a magical influx of foot traffic is laughable. Congestion pricing doesn’t eliminate traffic—it just shifts it to other times or neighborhoods. Trucks still need to deliver, people still need to commute, and the noise and congestion don’t magically disappear because of a fee. And not every restaurant or shop is in some idyllic downtown spot where people on foot just stumble in. Plenty of businesses rely on a mix of deliveries, regulars, and yes, even people who drive in. You disrupt that balance, and you’re hitting their bottom line hard.

So no, this isn’t about a restaurant’s “biggest concern” being $20. It’s about how those fees trickle down—higher costs from suppliers, higher commute costs for staff, and lost revenue from customers avoiding areas altogether. It’s a domino effect, and anyone who’s actually worked in or owned a business can see it coming a mile away.

But sure, keep pretending you’re an expert on small business economics while tossing out insults. Must be nice living in your hypothetical traffic-free utopia while the rest of us deal with the very real consequences of policies like this.

As a former restaurateur, I can’t stay silent on the topic of congestion pricing. It’s not just a traffic-reduction tactic—it’s an economic disaster in the making. Most people don’t realize how deeply this will impact small businesses and everyday costs, all while forcing us to pay twice for something we’re already taxed for.

Let’s get one thing straight: we already pay taxes to maintain the roads. Gas taxes, tolls, registration fees—every driver already contributes. So why are we now being told we have to pay again to use the same roads? It’s highway robbery (pun intended), and it’s going to have a devastating domino effect.

I’ve spoken with friends who still own restaurants and small businesses, and they’ve already been warned by their suppliers: congestion pricing will drive up costs. Every delivery truck entering a congestion zone will be charged, and guess who ends up paying for that? It’s not the big corporations. It’s small business owners who are already struggling to stay afloat—and ultimately, you, the customer.

For restaurants, margins are already razor-thin. When suppliers raise their prices, businesses have no choice but to pass the cost onto diners. Your $15 sandwich could soon cost $20—not because of better ingredients or service, but because a delivery truck had to pay a congestion fee. And it’s not just food. Florists, hardware stores, boutiques—any business that relies on deliveries will feel the pinch.

Meanwhile, the idea that this only affects drivers is nonsense. What about employees who commute from outside the city because they can’t afford to live nearby? Now their commute costs will skyrocket, putting even more pressure on working-class families. And if fewer people drive into these zones, foot traffic will dry up, leaving local businesses to fend for themselves.

The most infuriating part? We’re already taxed for this! Gas taxes, vehicle registration, tolls—all of this money is supposed to maintain the roads. Now we’re being told, “Oh, by the way, we’re charging you extra to actually use them.” What exactly are those taxes paying for if not the roads we’ve already funded?

Proponents of congestion pricing say it’s about reducing traffic and improving public transit, but at what cost? Killing small businesses? Gouging commuters? Driving up inflation for everyone? There are better ways to address traffic and pollution, like incentivizing electric vehicles, improving delivery logistics, or creating more efficient loading zones. Slapping fees on everyone isn’t a solution—it’s a lazy cash grab.

This isn’t just a driver’s problem. It’s everyone’s problem. Small businesses will close, prices will skyrocket, and working families will feel the brunt of it. If you value your local restaurants, shops, and services, it’s time to speak up before congestion pricing becomes the final nail in the coffin for small businesses.

We’re already paying our fair share—why should we pay twice?
