The polling was horrific in Michigan all cycle, it was completely weaponized by partisans. My what if is what would a truly independent poll have shown when the senate race was still 3 way, and the McMorrow doom loop hadn't started.

It's a pretty bad indictment of Haley Stevens if Jeremy Moss wins running away and Wesley Bell wins.

HBLR never explained their horrible July 4th service. HBLR gives zero transparency for their maintenance decisions. Why are they doing it in peak ridership season? How long will it continue? What work will be done when? How will they minimize disruption?
This isn't just factional back and forth, this is a respected pollster. It looks like AES will win the primary going away, and his theory of the general election is insane and probably going to lose, just like Hong.

Maybe, eventually, they'll add modern real time capabilities?
NJ Transit's new mobile app has problems and lost features the old app had, riders said. Even the state transportation commissioner's family has complained.
Better design than prior phases, but really wish Harrison would relax its excessive parking requirements in favor of modern stormwater retention instead. It floods like crazy.
Advance Realty Investors secured a $173.4 million construction loan for Block B2 in Harrison of its Riverbend District mixed-use development.
newyorkyimby.com/2026/07/aviv... The admin's ongoing criticism of this project is bizarre. Instead of a lump sum, this generates ongoing revenue for the city. It was meant to bring a public school, and still will bring a business incubator. By their standards, this is the ideal of a good project.

I've been under no illusions about the wave of antisemitism the past few years, but a legion of "left" accounts screaming about Great Replacement in Spain is a total mask off moment.
There is a problem in the Vision Zero community of repeating a disproven and tired line of discounting traffic enforcement. Turning off traffic enforcement created a disaster. Road design didn't get worse yet crash deaths skyrocketed. NYCDOT found 2 cell phone violations / year = 40X KSI crash risk!

The way to lower rents is Namdar builds a no parking tower full of $2k studios, not Silverman builds $6k units with parking that can pencil out subsidizing affordable units.
Maybe I should call in, that site has way too much parking and is far too small for being that close to Hoboken Station. www.tapinto.net/towns/hoboke...

The difference between Will Stancil and Kat Abughazaleh is that Kat used a bad faith quote tweet dunk on Will to solicit cash donations to her campaign consulting business and Will refuses to let anyone give him money to fix the slashed tires on the car he chased ICE agents around in.
It should be better known that the morons who ran the Rutgers AAUP took over the national chapter, and immediately both destroyed their commitment to academic freedom, and politicized them in a way guaranteed to lead to huge funding cuts in red states.
I don’t like this one bit. The AAUP doesn’t need to endorse candidates at all. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...
There's always been an easy solve here where West Orange trades some downtown parking lots for this land, but instead they'd rather lose millions in an open and shut court case, and potentially open themselves up to a builder's remedy.

👋Grocery store owner here. A big grocery store chain has profits like 1%-2% of gross sales. That means if a city-run store is as efficient (unlikely), anything more than a 1% discount is a subsidy. Probably better to hand out subsidies to low income residents directly.
"Florida’s [permitting reform] applies to a number of construction trades, not just solar contractors— which perhaps widened its appeal beyond renewable energy advocates"
Homeowners have lost interest in solar panels since the Trump administration killed federal incentives — except in Florida. Here's why installations are still holding up in the Sunshine State.
Decisions like this rob the city of tax revenue and contribute to the housing affordability crisis. www.nj.com/hudson/2026/...
