Who exactly benefits from this "deal" other than the developer and Mayor? More broken promises, more backroom dealings. This can't be tolerated.

West Hobokeners pay equal taxes and have equal voting rights as waterfront residents. However, the "precious waterfront" residents get all the fancy parks and amenities whereas we are crammed into a concrete jungle of massive high rises stacked next to each other. We deserve to be treated fairly.

Let me get this right. In a grand scheme to quell a lawsuit, the mayor has decided to lift basic construction restrictions thereby destroying the surrounding building parking, views, and value.
If she's only seeking the best interest for those at the waterfront then she ought to only be mayor of the waterfront.

It's extremely shortsighted of the city to allow this level of high density development in western Hoboken. The area is already struggling with infrastructure issues and this will only magnify the situation. These massive buildings are ruining the character of Hoboken!!!

This is unfair to the town and dangerous to this neighborhood.

Please vote against the proposal! It will be devastating for the western Hoboken community!

Disgusted at this trade off that ends up punishing those of us who invested in the responsible development of Hoboken's west side. This type of construction does not foster a communal/familial environment but perpetuates a transient mindset by radically changing the landscape. This is not what I signed up for and cannot be permitted!

Dear Mayor Zimmer,
These streets around Hoboken upper west side are as wide as any street in our city. I don't believe that it could support a massive development such as the proposed 800 Monroe settlement.

Strongly opposed to the size of the building being considered for 800 Monroe. Parking, flooding, congestion, density, and an "out of character" building.

To our dismay both the Mayor and the council is willing to throw our already-to-become an overcrowded community under the bus because Shipyard gets rewarded for doing bad business? Because Ron Hine and his group do not care about Hoboken as a whole and their "scree that part of town we still have our view" mentality. The Mayor referred to the waterfront as "precious", so what is that telling us how she and city hall fell about this part of town? And the & 500,000 'donation' Shipyard made, yeah, who through other parties is seeing that money..
I don't see how the Mayor and Council care about density when they are dense about quality of life issues let alone the true quality of Hoboken. Remember, renters tend to not re-register to vote or fake real interest in the issues of town.
