Plus the additional $25-per-unit monthly "solid waste" fee on our water bills that definitely was not a tax increase, no sir.

Nobody needs to be shedding any tears for landlords, but the cost of everything is rising.

Park & Sixth has been many places, but not there. You're thinking of Ninth & Coles I believe.

You have to clarify which of the 3(?) Park & Sixth versions you mean. I liked the one where Buddy Whogivesashit is.

I've lived around the corner from Supremo for years. There's a lot not to like, but their produce is usually better than ShopRite for what it's worth. It's no farm stand, but it's decent for the basics and better for anything you might need for Latin-American dishes.

Awesome. Thanks!

Thank you! My house is indeed super old. 1891.

Yeah? My concern is the house is way old, and things aren't exactly up to code as of now. I feel like their standard go-to options won't work for one reason or another. Like, their design plans include recessed lights but we find out the house isn't wired to support that (that's a bad example, but you know what I mean). But maybe I'm just not giving them enough credit for what they do.

I know that (although in restaurants I disregard that and tip 20% on the total), but are we sure delivery apps and point-of-sale terminals default to the total without those fees? They may, but I doubt it.

And percentage based tips for delivery. Delivery was always like, a couple bucks. Maybe more if it was raining or a huge order. 20% on delivery on top of all the wild fees is a little crazy to me. They’re not coming inside and serving me the food, they’re dropping off a bag of cold overpriced shit.

Obligatory disclaimer that I’m a habitual good tipper in restaurants, even for “bad service.” But the takeout and delivery tip expectations are out of control these days.

PATH. Because it's so goddamn small. It's like a joke of a train system and yet we can't keep it running correctly for a single day.

And let's not forget when PATH was blasted for a shitload of workers sleeping on their overtime shifts. That costs some money too.

Especially if Jersey City—and Journal Square specifically—want to keep building skyscrapers and filling them with new residents. This will keep getting worse far faster than any of the minuscule "enhancements."

Remember when "Positive Train Control" or whatever it was took like 5 years to implement? Having been a PATH commuter for like 15 years now (before Sandy, after Sandy, before COVID, after COVID), I can't say it's been noticeably better.

Have to assume it comes with the liquor license though, which is worth a couple million on its own.
