If Brooklyn is “cool”, they can keep it.

From the Jersey Journal:

Jersey City ‘not cool,’ has ‘no vibe,’ N.Y.C. exec says

An executive with co-working firm WeWork, which is slated to open a location in Journal Square, doesn’t appear to think much of Jersey City.

Sean Black, a WeWork executive vice president, told the crowd at a real-estate panel in Manhattan that he is looking to open a WeWork location in Brooklyn because it’s “cool” — unlike Jersey City, according to a report in Real Estate Weekly.

“Brooklyn has really emerged as this epicenter of where people want to be,” Black said, the website says. “If you look at Jersey City, it’s so far ahead relative to a lot of different product it has, but it doesn’t have life, it doesn’t have vibrancy, it’s not cool, it’s got no vibe.”

The comments are being panned by Rich Boggiano, who represents Journal Square on the City Council.

“Jersey City has more life and vitality than any other city in the United States of America,” Boggiano said. “Stay in New York where you belong then.”

A WeWork spokesman said Black’s comments “do not reflect the view of our company.

“Jersey City has a vibrant and innovative community that we would love to be a part of,” the spokesman said. “We’re looking at opportunities there and we hope to have more to announce in the near future.”

    I’ve been laughing for years over the Hoboken/Jersey City so-called emergence. The prices are ridiculous, laughable!! I cringe and chuckle over the number of sales and the prices. It’s been a marketing marvel for 25 years now and one of the greatest dupes ever. Rent a few rooms within walking distance to a train and save your money.

    So we have Kennedy and Wiener. Anthony should go to jail if he’s guilty. Teddy can deal with eternal justice at this point. Funny thing about political sex scandals, is that I usually see them from the GOP side of the fence. For the most part I don’t care. If you want to go for a “walk on the Applalation Trail, or meet consenting adults in the airport bathroom. I don’t really care. As long as its not illegal or you’re not running on Family values, you can have as many mistresses as you want. Not my business.

    Political Grift, I don’t think you will ever stop it. My view is if you want to take the risk, fine, if you get caught you go to the big house.

    Fabius,

    What are you worried about? At the end of the day, all facets of the government will have democrats in charge. The debt will explode beyond repair, responsibility will be replaced by entitlement, racial division will intensify, the wage gap and jobs will continue to worsen and somehow the left will be blaming the right. Why even post anything about the other side? Why don’t you post links to the great things the left has accomplished and the utopia they will create when Hillary is sworn in?

    “My view is if you want to take the risk, fine, if you get caught you go to the big house.”

    Like C0cksucking Dodd did with the interest free mortgages? Get off your elitist high horse already. Both sides are equally bad. To cheerlead for one over the other is akin to supporting corruption.

    The only thing that makes me hate the left a bit more than the right is their insatiable need to act like they are protecting those who don’t know better. There’s a lot of stupid stuff that Trump says and I agree he is not fit to be POTUS, but he is right about the treatment of blacks in this country. The Dems have been crumbing them to maintain power for half a century. Meanwhile, their plight has really only worsened since the MLK days. Sure they earned much more rights, but segregation remains alive and well due to Dem policies.

  29. Joyce says:

    Ottoman,
    Wouldn’t a taker be someone that receives more govt services/benefits than taxes paid? (And if someone’s income or revenue is directly / indirectly influenced by govt policy that should be factored in as well)

    Are we comparing it to what came out my pocket over the years and the time I volunteered at homeless shelters? Or does it not fit into your argument? Either way, declare yourself the winner because I can clearly see that you have a delicate and fragile psyche and need all the encouragement you can gather.

  31. Joyce says:

    As for Brooklyn. It’s truly a fashionable POS. I have a friend who has lived in the epicenter of Brooklyn Culture since we both graduated college. He lives on the corner of 6th Street and 6th Avenue in a 4th floor rental brownstone walkup. His apartment has 1 full bathroom, a bedroom that can’t fit furniture in it unless there’s a twin bed and a combined kitchen and living room. He had the option to buy it when the building converted to a coop in the 90s and he stupidly didn’t. I can only imagine his rent today. Well, I used to go out there once or twice a year to hang. Besides the pretty brownstone and tree-laced streets, I do not see the attraction. The park is pretty disgusting and filled with derelicts and city kids whose sole purpose of hanging out there is to pester the civilized park users. The restaurants are no better than the crappy places in Hoboken. It smells like piss everywhere from the homeless and you can’t put your kids in the schools. So how does this differ from Jersey City besides being more hipster-saturated? At least Jersey City has real blue collar, hard working immigrant families (to go with their section 8 crowd). I remember once going over to this guys house and we wanted to make a salad to save some money. We went over to Dagostino to get the vegetables. I’m not lying, it was $30 for a head of lettuce, a tomato, a cucumber and a couple other vegetables. He can have his Brooklyn. He just got married and had a kid. I expect to see him move to Montclair some time around 2020.

  56. Back inthe USSR Cold War says:

    The whole mess with Russia will end in a shooting war, how big or limited who knows. Is logical and based on facts. So the list.

    -Hillary needs to prove she has balls – her Thatcher – Falkland Island moment.
    -Russia has 5 issues – 1-War is good for Putin & nationalism -2- Wants to make very clear this is a multi-polar world and Russia is open for business vis a vis pacts and alignements like the cold war period. 3- After the Iraq debacle Putin sees the ability to re-arrange the Middle East with a tilt toward Russian control (same ideas Neo-Cons had) but unlike the West, Putin is skilled, brutal & savaged enough to do it – his time’s up clock is ticking in Moscow, so he needs to perform (see #1). 4- Putin really has a bug about the US neo-cons/ Yeltsin’s oligarch/ Hermitage Fund (see #5) 5- Russian nationalism, antisemitism, the Clintons and love of conspiracy theories – Yeltsin was a crook who sold out Russia, the ones that bought most of it known as the 5 oligarch were all jewish. It is well known Russia went thru hell in the 90’s, the Clintons aided and abetted the oligarchs. Putin sneaked in and outsmarted the oligarchs by reactivating, building, and making extremely wealthy the old KGB infrastructure. These guys were always very nationalistic and want revenge for the perceived losses of the post cold war period. They and Putin in general feel the USA needs a tough conterpart, a ying and yang, otherwise you get the mess of the middle east.

    So that is where stands now. Look up The Geographical Pivot of History in Wikipedia. What to look for is that Russia wants to realign the the Middle East its way. Bomb to ashes the whole bunch of goat & camel f’rs. In short Putin is going to do the job we did not want to do because of business ties with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar which are the f’rs financing the AQ & ISIS. The price for this is loss of control of M.E. and that means Israel better get used to new neighborhood master.

    The fight will happen because Hillary is vested in the neo-con world, and can’t see we have outlived the need to be anywhere in the ME for energy, only thing holding us there is the Israel 1st crowd, and the Wall Street/ME financial links.

    Trump whether aware of the above or not, simply by moving away from the ME and concentrating at home will do better.

    There’s Chinese, Indians and Mexicans willing to do the same job for pennies on the dollar and Vietnamese and Africans willing to work even cheaper. That doesn’t even factor in the complete absence of meaningful worker protections and environmental regs etc. in those jurisdictions.

    We currently have a Federal deficit that equates to $12K per citizen and 7 out of 10 citizens have less than $1K in savings. So we’ve already borrowed forward 120 years worth of consumer expenditures in the past 30 years.

    The 1950’s were the apex economically in this country. We were the only country in the world who’s manufacturing base wasn’t decimated. You’ll never see anything like that again absent another war.

    It’s time you come up with a new solution for the new paradigm.

    Your waxing nostalgic about the New Deal is as tedious as the Reaganites babble about the benefits of tax cuts.

    Reality is neither works unless you deficit spend like crazy and contrary to the D.C. fantasy there comes a time when deficits do matter, and sadly, when they do there’s usually a lot of violence.

    These same people were available for cheap labor during that same time period. Hell, I would argue that the availability of cheap labor was much more during this era. So why is it that the United States businesses were able to pay so much to their workers and still profit, while having an over abundance of third world labor to take advantage of? If you didn’t have to use the “cheapest” mode of labor back then, why do we have to now? Why do we now “CHOOSE” to use the cheapest labor available? Why didn’t we “CHOOSE” the cheapest form of labor back then?

    And here in lies the problem with income inequality today. We “CHOOSE” to profit at the expense of the working class today. We did not have this mindset back then. So we are basically eating ourselves from the inside out with terrible business choices driven by greed and sold, or I should say shoved down our throats, on the basis of competition.

    America’s Decadent Leadership Class

    Putin doesn’t respect them, and they don’t like half the American people.

    It is quite dreadful and a showing of the gravest disrespect that, if U.S. intelligence agencies are correct, Russia’s Vladimir Putin has inserted himself into America’s presidential election. And it could not have deeper implications.

    If Russia is indeed behind the leaks of the emails of Democratic Party operatives Mr. Putin may have many reasons, as he often does, but the most frightening would be that he views the current American political leadership class as utterly decadent and unworthy of traditional diplomatic norms and boundaries. And, thinks, therefore, it deserves what it gets.

    Why would he find them decadent—morally hollowed out, unserious? That is the terrible part: because he knows them.

    Think of how he’s experienced them the past few years. Readers of these pages know of the Uranium One deal in which a Canadian businessman got Bill Clinton to help him get control of uranium mining fields in Kazakhstan. The businessman soon gave $31 million to the Clinton Foundation, with a pledge of $100 million more. Uranium One acquired significant holdings in the U.S. A Russian company moved to buy it. The deal needed U.S. approval, including from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

    While it was under consideration the Clinton Foundation received more money from Uranium One. Bill Clinton got a $500,000 speech fee. Mrs. Clinton approved the deal. The Russian company is now one of the world’s largest uranium producers. Significant amounts of U.S. uranium are, in effect, owned by Russia. This summer a WikiLeaks dump showed the State Department warning that Russia was moving to control the global supply of nuclear fuel. The deal went through anyway, and the foundation flourished.

    Peter Schweizer, who broke the Uranium One story, reported in these pages how Mrs. Clinton also pushed for a U.S.-Russian technology initiative whose goals included “the development of ties between the Russian and American people.” Mrs Clinton looked for U.S. investors and found them. Of the 28 announced “key partners,” 60% had made financial commitments to the Clinton Foundation. Even Russian investors ponied up.

    But the research coming out of the initiative raised alarms: U.S. military experts warned of satellite, space and nuclear technology transfers. The FBI thought the Russian partners’ motive was to “gain access to classified, sensitive, and emerging technology.” WikiLeaks later unearthed a State Department cable expressing concern about the project. Somehow, said Mr. Schweizer, the Clinton State Department “missed or ignored obvious red flags.”

    What would Mr. Putin, knowing all this and inferring Mrs. Clinton’s real priorities, conclude about the American political system and its major practitioners? Would he feel contempt? Might he toy with them?

    As for Donald Trump, we don’t know, because he has not released his tax returns, what ties if any he has with Russia. There are charges that Trump businesses are entangled with powerful Russian financiers. We know some of his top advisers had business ties to Russia or affiliated nations and leaders.

    Again, what might Mr. Putin think of this? Might he amuse himself with mischief, even to the point of attempting to hack the election returns? We’ll see.

    I guess it is now fine for men to use women’s bathrooms but not for the CEO of Miss Universe to walk into a woman’s dressing room

    Again the irony. If you are OK with Trump in the Dressing room, whats your issue with LBGT in the bathrooms?
