Jersey City has been posted on this community a few times.

I've read somewhere that if an apartment builder builds a park next to the building, they get a lot of incentives including tax breaks. I really like that rule. It must be worth it since almost all the new big builds I see, there is usually a park next to it.

It also helps grease the wheels for communities to approve the building permit. Not even so they get a new park, but so they're current park that they use doesn't get overcrowded.
