For those who stumble upon this weblog, I am only a three year resident of the great town of Hoboken, NJ. It is my first urban experience having come from Princeton, NJ where I lived in or near it all my 29 years of life. And while I absolutely love the 6th borough of New York City, I find that there are a few things that could be better with a little bit of elbow grease, will, and someone to rally the rest of Hoboken into acting out against these few facts of life that really degrade from the otherwise pleasant living experience.
Now I’m not trying to overthrow the local government (yet). Nor am I advocating that we all riot against anyone or something else so dramatic such as organizing or voting with our conscience. I am trying to make people aware of some small quality of life issues that, when added together, make it tough for me to want to stay here for 30 or 40 more years.
I’m also going to talk about all the great things that make Hoboken so special and promote the idea that more can come and positively affect the city in similar ways if we collectively voice our opinions as such. So this will not be one of those total rant or ‘something sucks’ websites. On the contrary, it is to do the opposite.
I’ll start off by talking about the police force here.
