A fine article on the development in Jersey City from the NYT

The New York Times is out with a full and complete look at the development and growth of Jersey City and what now makes it a very attractive place to be.

In the past these articles from the Times and elsewhere consisted of a formula, talk about JC's closeness to NYC, talk to mayor who glowingly praises all development and then the article goes on to discuss developers plans. This article is a full look at our fair city, from the issues to getting Bergen/Lafayette up and going to the new boom area of Journal Square. There is a quote from KRE saying downtown is done, nowhere else to build. Also in this article is surprise surprise, a counter argument to the development and the lies that were sold by both City Planning and others in the city government that chundered the look and feel of the Powerhouse Arts District. PADNA President (and friend of Johnny's mea culpa) Kathryn Moore basically gave a heads up to Journal Square to be on the lookout and get things in writing. And even then...

Anyhoo, a great full look at JC, well worth the read. It deals with talking with residents more than tiresome city officials.
