James St SHOULD dissolve. What a bunch of self righteous garbage!

Among the testimonial bs...

  • "We don't oppose the tower, we just want it shorter..."

  • "Those aren't really "affordable units"....

  • "Where will they park? Walk 1000 feet? OMG! The 1,000 foot walk inconvenience exposed these morons as elitist scum that whose lives revolve around the auto! What's 1,000 ft from the ark tower? Newark Public Library. St Michael's Hospital. McGovern's Bar, the new Prudential Building and swahili's restaurant across from njpac. The idea of walking a block to a parking lot offended James Street people as if you asked for jelly instead of "Grey Poupon"!

*The complaints of gentrification were complete joke given every single James Street person was an old elitist White Collar professionals. Some even architects. Not one person speaking from James Street was blue collar.

  • One lady went unhinged & started the whole Black & brown (apparently the left has married Hispanics to blacks & we are now a last name to "black". 'Blacks & brown this" " Black &Brown that") ..will suffee if Arc got approved. *I didn't know so many Jewish residents live in the James Street area, you would think they were the ones opposing, but most were in favor.
  • you had this one white clown from Union Street, nowhere near Ark. He look like a burnout LOL, and he opposed the project based on parking. Because obviously he to relies on his automobile and has never heard of mass transit. In the end, it was a win for ark tower & the city.
