Something strange going on?

So Newark Associated Humane has had a very large number of dogs on a euthanasia list and it seems like it’s growing with more urgent dogs.

Website doesn’t show anything out of the ordinary number wise, but many have been verbalizing frustration and issues with the shelter.

I haven’t been able to find anything showing the city has renewed their contract outside of an extension that expired earlier this month.

Does anyone have any info? The city is not helpful at all.

Very concerned about these animals there.

Thx

Newark animal clinic

Be very careful if you bring your pet here. A friend just adopted a dog from the shelter and they insisted their vet do the neuter. The dog now has an infection (pretty bad one in the neuter incision). The vet also shaved the dog pretty much bald and his skin is raw.

Run from them. Find another affordable vet.

My immediate first step is to find this driver but plates are not visible. If anyone can assist us please!! I’ll be asking neighbors for a direct view of this car in the meantime. Thank you for your time.

I built YourScene a local discovery app for finding what’s actually happening nearby

Hi
I’ve been building a side project called YourScene.

It’s a local discovery app for finding events, watch parties, bars, venues, and things happening nearby.
The problem I’m trying to solve is that local discovery still feels scattered. In places like NYC, Brooklyn, Jersey City, and Denver, people are checking Instagram, Reddit, Eventbrite, venue calendars, Google Maps, group chats, and word of mouth just to figure out what’s happening tonight.
I’m trying to make something that answers:
“What’s actually worth going to near me right now?”

A few things I’m building toward:

smaller local events, not just huge promoted ones
watch parties and fan spots
neighborhood-based discovery
filters for low-key / not touristy / small crowd / 30+ / family-friendly
live local posts through Pulse, so it’s not only scraped listings
better trust signals for venues and events
It’s still early, but I’d love feedback from other builders.

What would you focus on first: better event supply, better maps, stronger filters, community/Pulse, or onboarding?

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/yourscene/id6777555961
Bugs/feedback: support@yourscene.app
Appreciate any honest feedback.

Info on Affordable Housing process

Unsure if this goes here since it’s multi towns

I applied to many through this website that manages a bunch in NJ. You don’t apply to the complexes but to the towns and they’ll automatically add you to the complexes lists. Many haven’t issued me a lottery number yet, I have to wait for the lottery to open and then I’ll get a number. I guess I’m on the waitlist of the waitlist 😂

One town’s complex just had a lottery last week so I have a lottery # of 10,490. My question is another complex on that same town will have a lottery in October. Does that mean that they pull from the existing list for the town or do they run another lottery?

I’m confused 😂 and feel like 10k is just my forever number

What can the city do to make non-car commuters safer? (brainstorming thread)

With all the vehicular incidents and deaths that have occured since February, what can the city do to protect residents that may not be using cars? I'm talking people crossing the street, people commuting using a skateboard or bike, or the city-wide pilot programs for the e-scooters.

Asking this because it seems like with every hit-and-run case, we don't see the city comment on what they're doing to make things safer for people that aren't in a car, but instead just give their condolences and keep things going as usual.

Yes, homicides are down but the fact you're more likely to be hit by a car driving recklessly and get away with it than being a victim of a violent crime is a bad message for people coming to the city who may not use a car to commute.

So, what can the city implement or change or add about the current pedestrian infrastructure to protect residents? (protected bike lanes, moving crossing lines away from the curb for better pedestrian visibility, creating more parking spaces to prevent double parking, etc)
