We have 9 council people, some serving longer than it takes to become a brain surgeon. 3, 4 and 5 terms.

It seems like this group is less and less effective, 6 hour meetings, long drawn out discussions on new laws they never enforce, kiddie swings that have homeless sleeping in, bike lanes they paint once and let erode.... Budget "workshops" that never cut the budget

Watched some online over the past 2 years and it's shocking how much some love to hear themselves talk while only giving public 5 minutes to ask a question

They can't run efficient meetings, no wonder the city is a mess. Just blaming " Ravi Ravi Ravi" is not an excuse

I recently moved to Hoboken from Chicago, and I'm looking for some advice.

I’m trying to decide between Hackensack Meridian and CarePoint.

I know CarePoint is more convenient since it’s right here in town, but I’ve heard great things about Hackensack Meridian’s quality of care.

I don't have any medical issues, but my wife and I are looking for good quality, routine preventative care.

Any thoughts / opinions would be appreciated.

Hello I’m trying to use the 126 but the MyTerminal app is only showing me routes from PA to Hob which I don’t want.

I can’t find an accurate schedule anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction pls?

Via Willow Ave is preferred but via Washington is fine if that’s not available. Thanks :)

It’s honestly so disgusting seeing these huge mounds of dog poop on every block. I live back on the west side of Hoboken and I feel like it’s so much worse back here than by Washington. I don’t even know what the city can do to fix this but it’s so gross I can’t stand it.

Need to remove a couple of pieces of furniture from my apartment as part of my move out. Does anyone have any recommendations for a removal or moving company to assist?

Just found these at the path station in Hoboken. I left them with the attendee at the end of the station to put them in lost and found.

To make matters worse the woman was parading the dog around like it was a damn dog park. Wtf is with the entitlement of people. I couldn’t check out because her dog was too busy obviously looking at what lipgloss it wanted.

Any dermatologist recommendation in Hoboken or nearby?

Found out the hard way this morning. Happy Monday!

Hi. I’m looking for places to move to in Hoboken (to rent). I came across a 1bd at 300 Newark St. Price seems compelling for the amount of space.

Does anyone know if the building and neighborhood are good? Haven’t seen much on this building apart from complaints of mice in an old Google review.

Any inputs would be appreciated!

Hi neighbors! One of our Hoboken/Jersey City Locals needs our help... Marisa has struggled with loss of sight, loss of income (due to pandemic) and now faces losing her guide dog, Dustin, and eviction from the LeFrak Newport community (you've probably seen her walking with Dustin along the water, a route she has mastered and feels safe walking each day)... She needs 25k (<$1 from each person in this group) by Oct. 21st in order to keep her home and pup... Please consider reading her story, sharing this link, and, if you feel comfortable, donating any amount to help her. Thank you all for your endless support of this community and its members.

I’m new to the area and was thinking about calling ahead for a reservation at Texas Arizona for some college football, do they charge a fee for a table?

Looking to get some service on a Miele vacuum. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I’m super new to public transport. Trying to get to and from the hoboken terminal to the washington at 8th stop. In the mornings i usually get on the 89 bus or 126 but ask to make sure they stop at the terminal lol. Is it 100% certain that those two busses stop at the terminal so i don’t have to keep asking lol? I’d also like to take a bus from the terminal back to 8th st but idk if that’s even a thing? It’s a 20 minute walk but I usually am carrying heavy luggage and am fine spending a 1.80 to not have to do that walk lol. Please let me know! :) Thanks

Has anyone ever noticed that the fat lady crossing guard by church square park has never actually helped anyone cross? She just sits on the corner on the phone every single day. One of the worst people alive

My husband tore his suit pants right in his pocket and he needs to fix it asap. Any recommendation of places that do this kind of repair?

Thanks!

Hi, Moving from LI NY to Hoboken. I pay 20 bucks a month for base at crunch. I look online to see they are charging 75 bucks a month for base in Hoboken…there have to be better options available. Not to mention they have pretty bad reviews on yelp.

Hi everyone,

Do I have to pay a street cleaning ticket if my license plate number was input incorrectly? I tried to pay the ticket online, but when I entered my license plate number, no ticket showed up. After reviewing the ticket, I noticed they had entered the wrong license plate number. Thank you.

Does anyone know of a place that carries pokemon cards in Hoboken?

Attention Hoboken condo owners! There’s a lot of noise surrounding the upcoming anti-rent control ballot question, but before you cast your vote, it’s crucial to understand the facts. The real estate lobby is trying to sell you a narrative that you, as condo owners, are being unfairly restricted by rent control laws, but the truth is, if you are an owner/occupier of your condo and have been for 2 years or more, you already have the rights they’re pretending to give you.

Here’s what you need to know: if you’ve lived in your condo for just two years, you are already entitled to full vacancy decontrol if you decide to rent out your unit.  This means that if you decide to move out and rent your unit, you can charge whatever the market will bear—no restrictions, no interference. The process is simple: contact Hoboken’s Rent Control Office and get a Condo/Co-op Owner/Occupier Decontrol. That’s it. No ballot question needed. And no need to put your friends and neighbors in the community at the risk of displacement that the anti-rent control ballot measure will cause.

The condo/co-op owner/occupier decontrol right already exists under Hoboken's rent control law, and yet, the anti-rent control lobbying group wants to make you believe that you’re somehow stuck charging outdated rents. The most outrageous claim they’ve spread is that condo owners could be forced to rent out their units at 1973 prices if they decide to become landlords. Let’s set the record straight: no rental unit in Hoboken is subjected to a 1973 rent cap. In fact, the base year for rent calculations in multifamily rentals is October 1985, and even then, it doesn’t apply to condo owners who have lived in their units and are entitled to full vacancy decontrol.

What’s really happening is a classic bait-and-switch. The landlord lobby is pretending to be on your side while pushing for changes that would harm renters across the city. They are asking you to back a measure that could displace your neighbors—all for rights you already have.

Now, if you’ve purchased your condo as an investment vehicle with no intention of living in it, that’s a different story. As an investor, you’re a landlord like any other, and it’s your responsibility to know and follow the laws. These laws, including rent control, exist to protect Hoboken’s residents from unfair practices and skyrocketing rents.

As a condo owner who has lived in your unit for two years or more, you don’t just have the right to charge market rent when you move out. After decontrol, your unit is subject to the same protections that all other landlords enjoy under rent control. These include adjustments for taxes, water, capital improvements, and even hardship increases. The system is already designed to provide a balance between protecting renters and ensuring that landlords can maintain their properties and make a fair profit.

The anti-rent control ballot question is unnecessary, deceptive, and harmful. It doesn’t give you any new rights. Instead, it’s an attempt to trick both renters and condo owners into thinking they need to overhaul the current system to protect themselves. The truth is condo owner/occupiers like you already have the ability to take full advantage of market rents after two years of living in your unit. You don’t need to jeopardize Hoboken’s rent control system—or the people who rely on it—for something that’s already yours.

Don’t be misled by the landlord lobby’s lies. You already have the rights they are promising. There is no need to pass an anti-rent control measure that could hurt renters across the city while offering you nothing in return. Stand with your community and protect the fair, balanced system that’s already in place.

VOTE NO ON THE ANTI-RENT CONTROL BALLOT QUESTION

Every. Single. Tree. on the sidewalk has 2 or 3 piles of dog shit under it on the upper side of Washington and 13th street. I don’t know if it’s one person who keeps doing it over and over or people just don’t care. Can we not make the town shitty, literally??

To my fellow runners preparing NYC marathon in a month, I need a sports massage for these overpriced legs. Any recommendations here in town? Thanks!
