I doubt there is any direct connection to Geibel on that HH blog. While the person clearly enjoys the redevelopment of his or her neighborhood, they also have a hearty disdain for the Mayor and appreciation for those trying to make things better in city government. That would disqualify HH as a Geibel shill.

The developer of Metrostop has a boat named “Hoboken Hero”, and then there’s a blog called “Hoboken Hero” that fawns over Metrostop and talks glowingly of all new development in that neighborhood. That a pretty amazing coincidence, if they’re not connected.

there is no connection

And James Fitzsimmons does not live in subsidized housing, but Captain Anthony “Stick” Romano, owner of Louise & Jerry’s and two buildings on Washington Street, does (Marineview Towers). Captain Romano is likely to be our next Freeholder.

What is wrong with the system where we, the taxpayers, are paying to help much-better-off upper middle class families (Romano, Russo, etc.) live in life-long, subsidized housing? Isn’t there an upper income limit that kicks you out and into the market-rate housing like the rest of us common folk? Is the only way to get elected in Hoboken via your built-in base of voters living in your subsidized complex? I guess the system is working for them.

Uhh……No. That is why I won’t EVER vote for one of these self-interested tools. All they care about is gaming the system for their own benefit.

Sigh. H411, your comments filter really sucks. Why are we barred from posting links to any other Hoboken-related websites?

What I just tried to post, changed to hopefully slip past the filter:

Waaaaait… the developer of Metrostop has a boat named “Hoboken Hero”? And then there’s this blog that heaps praise on all the new development in the NW part of town, yet insists they’re not a shill for developers?

Hmmm…

$800,000 is a lot of money now – but it was a ton of money back in 1998. Did he pay cash for this house?
