It pains me to say this but I feel like it’s a dead project and don’t get me wrong I am behind this project buttttttttt it’s the third meeting, if it ends up being 5 council members again and it’s going to be another no unless the attorney found away to get everyone on board I honestly don’t see it getting approved tonight, we got lucky with halo and 777 and many more projects that are going to happen soon. So we can’t win them all I guess in the end but let’s be great full for another opportunity at a project at this scale and hope that the next one can do what this can not. The only way I can see this tower happening is if the height gets murdered, or the building having a similarly facade to one theater square or Shaq tower 1, but I can’t imagine that design with art deco

I guess they all run the many failed restaurants in newark lol.

Didnt realize "its hard to success in the food business, dont immediate scare customers away" is such a scary message for this crowd

Ive seen like 6 100% meat soul food restaurants open and close downtown in the last 3 years.

Agreed. But there are things you can still do -- vet the reputation of the dealer thoroughly. Be skeptical of prices that are too good to be true. There are also some signs of flood damaged cars you can look for when checking the car out on the lot.

Carfax claims their VIN tracking procedure will prevent title washing, but I am guessing there are ways around this, and this link is mostly a sales pitch for carfax reports. If you could simply track a Title washer by looking up Carfax there would probably be a lot of out of business local dealers.

How Do You Avoid Title-Washing Scams?

You can steer clear of title-washing scams by not relying solely on a car’s title to give you all the information you need to make a good decision. A Carfax Vehicle History Report contains a lot of information you can use to avoid being victimized. Carfax tracks cars by using their vehicle identification numbers (VIN) and information from many different sources, giving you a complete picture of a used car’s history.

A Carfax Vehicle History Report can tell you if a vehicle has suffered the type of damage that could result in a branded title. This report also includes any smaller accidents the vehicle may have been in, and it provides helpful mileage history you can use to verify a car’s odometer reading.
