This is why you have to let markets go wild during an upswing. Cities that "overbuilt" during the upswing thanks liberal zoning and permits (e.g. Austin, Minneapolis, Seattle) will be alright. Cities that didn't (e.g. Los Angeles, New York City) are about to experience a lot of pain.

This is your only tweet today, @menendez.house.gov? The president just unilaterally and illegally canceled congestion pricing and called himself a king. We need our elected officials to uphold the rule of law and promote policies that have helped Hudson County as much as they’ve helped New York!

@govkathyhochul.bsky.social isn’t exactly blameless in this whole mess as her delay of congestion pricing helped set the stage. But she’s a world better than NJ’s ultimate knucklehead @govmurphy.bsky.social who is too busy kowtowing to King Trump to understand what thin ice the nation is on.

It’s either NJ or Trump, @govmurphy.bsky.social. You can’t serve both. #ResignGovMurphy

I think it’s time we get #ResignGovMurphy trending. Why is he showing fealty to a president who would be king?

Parking violations abound. Daily. I’ve never seen the parking authority or JCPD write a single ticket.

I haven’t read poetry for pleasure in a while. To get back into it with William Carlos Williams’ Paterson has been a delight.

B Bagels is just a rebranded Wonder Bagels. It has a newer, cleaner build out with a more modern aesthetic and slightly less aggressive staff. But it’s the same exact bagel; it’s just listed on a more expensive menu.

I wonder if Ali and Watterman stay in the race until election day? Ali probably takes some votes away from O'Dea; Watterman probably hurts McGreevey the most.

I’m waiting for someone to write the paper that claims older Millennials are political idealists because they grew up watching “The West Wing.” Younger Millennials and Zoomers are cynics because they got “Veep.”

"You’d think from some of the media coverage that all of NJ was ready to add to the Geneva Convention the inalienable human right to spend one’s days in Manhattan gridlock.But the numbers suggest otherwise: Three out of four commuters from New Jersey relied on public transit even before this month."

I used to think the Trumpism was a bad cold. After a long night, the fever would break. We’d feel sore for a while but we’d make a full recovery. Unfortunately, it’s cancer. It may go into remission one day. But we won’t ever be 100% free of it.

Prediction: The boom in Jersey City will be over in 7 years. NYC needs to step things up.

My co-author and I have questions as to why JCRA is not pushing for developments that would provide more affordable housing on city-owned land downtown and in Journal Square when current zoning could allow for over 100 new affordable housing units across the two properties.

Hudson County is moving forward with Vision Zero. Many thanks to Craig Guy, @menendez.house.gov, Commissioners O’Dea and Romano and all the other elected officials who showed up in support of this initiative. A special shout out to @talyaschwartz.bsky.social who spoke for @hudcostreets.org

Phil Murphy: "let's widen the Turnpike extension." The federal government: "let's actually shrink 12th Street from six lanes to four and make it more pedestrian friendly." So based. reddit.com/r/jerseycity/comments/1hyat4t/road_diet_for_12th_st_approach_to_holland_tunnel/
