I see there's talk of turning it into some kind of Housing project. I guess the good part is it will help lower the murder rate in cities like Newark and Jersey City.

It better turn into something cause that building is ugly!

How do you convert a giant half finished retail and entertainment giant into a housing project? Only a politician can work that out.

It'll look quite a lot like Dawn of the Dead.

You mean, they spent all that cash on that joint and it's not gonna get finished?

last i heard it was mostly finished. most my work was in the ski slope. theyll open it eventually, especially with the superbowl coming. itll make a killing during that weekend alone.

A housing project? Just what NJ needs, another housing project. This state sucks!

Is this what you're referring to?

Thats the way NJ works. You pay some union millions and millions to build something and just when its about complete you pay another union to change it into something else. Then you fill it with Section 8'ers and watch it all go down the toilet.

Come on you guys.....it worked down in the Gulf with Katrina....How many people do you think

lived in that Stadium.......

Yeah, because they do such great things for this country, the economy and their particular industry! :roll:

No matter what, its still UGLY !

I've got season tickets for the Giants, and we park across rte 120 under the video billboard by the new train station to tail gate. Every time I look across the road and I see that monstrosity I always wonder...

 

How can a gay-American governor who "spearheaded" this construction settle on orange and brown as the colors?

 

He must have been slumming it in an adult bookstore while they were picking the color schemes.

Well - we know he had "input" on the sound barrier walls along 80 btwn Hackensack and Leonia.

It's funny cause it's true!

Unions have their good points, but they also have their bad ones too. Detroit is a disaster for 2 reasons. Democrats and Unions.

Absolute nonsense!

I agree once you deduct the public sector union jobs they represent a fraction of the work force. So how is that stopping illegals from working? The days of the unions relevance has passed.

if thats what you have to tell yourself to get to sleep at night, you go ahead and keep thinking that

In my opinion, the Public employees union is the entity most responsible for the unheard of growth in the size of local, state, and Federal government. The former leader of the SEIU is the closest thing to an unrepentant Marxist I have seen in a high profile public figure (outside of Hollywood, naturally). Of course he is a good buddy of our current President. Government workers vote Democrat, allowing government to increase in size and hire more employees to vote for Democrats. The SEIU is a beast that needs to be tamed.

Private employee unions I have mixed feelings about. Some good, some bad.

+100000

Echo clearly you belong to a union and good for you. To Mich like socialism for my liking.

I've never voted for a Democrat and I'm union. Crafts that have unions do so as they've traditionally gotten screwed time and time again by the companies for which they work. It's great to have representation and protection from abuse. Sadly we are always equated with the worst of our crafts giving us the Least Common Denominator effect. If I could fire 15% of the people I worked with we'd be stronger as a whole. If the company I worked for actually paid me for the work I did I could do without paying monthly dues. Alas they prefer to require me to work overtime then not pay me for it leaving me to fight with payroll for my paycheck. If I refuse to do the OT then I can be fired for insubordination.

I'm union too but mine sucks.

 

The problem witht unions are that they make it so you can't get rid of the crap at the bottem of the barrel. Kinda like the teacher's union, which is the most powerful union in the country. How did that happen? Democrats!!!

I work for Verizon and my crew is not union. It's horrible. I have to fight all the time with nonsense.

 

They wanna change your work schedule so they can avoid paying ot, well the labor bd says you have to notify me 2 weeks in advance to change my schedule. On call pay.....I can go on and on. I am considered high maintenance because I go toe to toe to fight for my rights.
