Quite the waterfront kerfuffle in Hoboken

The City of Hoboken has some land on the Hudson River that NJ Transit really wants to buy to build a NY Waterways ferry repair/service dock. Trouble is the city of Hoboken wants to use that same land for a park for all the residents.

Now guess who's probably going to win. If NJ Transit is successful in buying the land, perhaps as early as this week that would prevent by state law from FuHo using eminent domain to take it since NJ Transit is a state agency. A shitty and horribly run state agency but immune to eminent domain from Hoboken nonetheless. There's plenty more on the machinations and possible court fights for you dear reader right h'yar.
