Upzone New Jersey 🏗️

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.

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?

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.

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 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.

Politics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve?
Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.

“I’ll be damned if I’m paying the State of New Jersey again, I paid it six years ago.” NJ e-bike riders livid over double sales taxing from MVC, which is now offering refunds. More on that, other issues coming up at MVC and more unanswered questions. [new post with corrected link]

Did you pay sales tax again at MVC for your e-bike? Apply for a refund

New Jersey's new e-bike law is in full effect, but questions about its implementation continue unabated as lawmakers decline comment.

👋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.
