I think i just saw a lot more piledrivers on site as i went past on the light rail. I guess they are moving ahead after all? ( i heard a while back that the developers wanted to abandon the tax break and affordable units and build all market rate- not sure what ever happened with that?) ---

It is incredible to me how empty Jersey City is still. The place is so full with parking lots and empty parcels that it would take decades of construction at this pace before it feels completed. ---

Tell that to all the traffic haha. But yes, it’s continually densifying and it’s great seeing big parking lots dissappearing. I’d rather it take its time, considering the amount of upgrades to roads, infrastructure and public transit that needs to happen first. ---

Jersey City is far from empty. It’s the third densest city in the country after NYC and San Francisco, ahead of cities like Boston, Philly and DC. If Hudson County consolidated into a single city, it would have the population, area, and density of Boston. But yeah, the waterfront has a lot of vacant lots left over that were once railyards and warehouses and factories. They’re owned by a few big owners like LeFrak and Mack-Cali and Brookfield who take their time developing them so they don’t cannibalize their own rents.
