Honestly less of a testament to anything particularly great about JC and more about how awful the situation is in the rest of the country.

I'm not against this. However the public transit needs a great addition to make it really feasible

There should be way more public transportation. There should also be way better roads. I wonder how many mechanics would go out of business if the road quality drastically improved

It’s funny to watch people be swindled into thinking that the lack of traffic enforcement and road quality deterring not-that-many people from driving is just another feature of ~Big City Living~

This.
I will never get rid of my car, then again, I have experience enjoying what the rest of the east coast has to offer within a three hour drive.
Now if I moved here from Wyoming then yeah, I probably wouldn't want a car until I made it a year without any friends around here.

That study is absolute garbage. San Fran and DC more walkable than NYC? Los Angeles, Madison WI, Fort Collins, CO more walkable than Jersey City. Is this a joke? 🙄

They tried to factor in climate for no reason, the climate is really not that big a deal. It wasn't a big deal 10 years ago either, but true winter isn't a thing anymore.

Shocking since radio station websites are normally recognized for their journalistic integrity.

We built one of the greatest cities in the world in NYC, full of public transportation, and the US was like, "Let's never do that again".
Truly sad.

The roads here are pretty good compared to the ones in nyc that I’ve seen.

NY roads are also terrible. It’s funny if you drive out of Jersey city almost anywhere you can tell you’ve reached another city because the roads become noticeably better instantly. Same with NY in a lot of places I’ve been

Honestly think we should move back to brick roads. More expensive upfront but much more durable. It'll make drivers drive more slowly with the rumble creating a safer and aesthetically pleasing environment for the rest of us. Would also reduce run off as well.

Thought this too until taking the LR this weekend. I can't imagine having to rely on it with your source of employment. Just terrible

Where in JC are there any decent lawns? Has anyone ever heard of Lawnstarter ?

Reading the underlying study, one of the most important factors is "Monthly Average Inches of Precipitation" and "Yearly Average Percentage of Sunshine"
Through they also apparently think that Fullerton CA have the best walkscore in the country, so garbage in, garbage out. Actually, I figured out how that works too. Walk score, the organization, have an average for each city. Many smaller cities are too small to get a score from walk score, so this group just took a central point in the city and used that as a walk score. So yeah, they are gonna do well in the study and like shit in real life.

Just wait it’ll start giving out rightwing talking points presented as news.

Yea plus who would choose to actively destroy their vehicles by driving on Jersey cities crumbling roads when you can take public transportation ? They should just finish the job and destroy what’s left of the roads.
