How funny would that be? Hey it'd hopefully save Jersey City from writing Bruce Ratner and Forest City a check from OUR city bank account.
James Riffin is a man who knows how to file a lawsuit. He's filed quite a few. He's filed one that seems to have the Forest City folks up in a tizzy, calling a legal claim he's filed on their property as "sinister." Riffin has made the following argument:
In his lawsuit, filed on July 20, Riffin alleges that because the lines of rail that formerly traversed the Metro Plaza property were never abandoned by Conrail, the developers of the high-rise don't have rights to the property. He says because he told the STB last year that he intends to acquire the entirety of the abandoned rail line, he could end up owning the site and re-starting a rail line on it. He wants construction on the residential tower halted until that federal matter is resolved.
Sure be a shame if that project just died. Have you seen that first building going up Jersey City? It'll make your eyes bleed. While this lawsuit stands little chance of success, it is trying to protect your eyesight because the architects who drew up that hideous look must have come from the Greg Brady school of design.
