What are some of the changes you've seen in Jersey City in the time that you've lived here? What changes would you like to see in the next four years?

Jersey City has really made a name for itself in the time I’ve lived here--especially downtown. But even with our growth, there is still a real small-town feel--everybody knows everybody. The events in the park--Six-Ward dinners, neighborhood festivals, movie nights--have strengthened communities.

I’ve lived in Paulus Hook since 2004, at that time the only residential high rise in downtown, outside of Newport, was Portside Towers. So the number one difference from 2004 is the amount of high-rise living.

Jersey City has changed tremendously since I was a kid.  It seems almost unbelievable now, but Downtown used to be a pretty rough area. Greenville, where I grew up, was a safe and thriving middle class neighborhood. Journal Square was once a bustling transportation hub surrounded by grand movie houses and high-end shopping.

What are some of the changes you've seen in Jersey City in the time that you've lived here? What changes would you like to see in the next four years?

The sense of community that made me fall in love with downtown JC remains, but so many residents talk to me about their worries that it will be lost. Many lose sleep over Newark Ave turning into a second Hoboken; waterfront towers that are built to keep their residents inside them and outside of our neighborhoods; and the displacement of the Latino community.
