  • Community Facilities: Improving Quality of Life
    49 IV Community Facilities: Improving Quality of Life Hoboken is graced with a number of historic Introduction community facilities buildings. The history of Hoboken as a City is tied to the history of its community and basic infrastructure. The sewers were the first to be built, as the Stevens family sold off its lots in the mid-1800s. While taken for granted now, the improvement to sani- tation brought by the sewers made bearable the density that has defined Hoboken ever since. Later, when Hoboken was coming of age as an industrial and trans- portation powerhouse, its community facilities were its public face. Constructed as much for their symbolic value as to fulfill practical needs, these structures were intended to give material form to the community’s aspirations for itself. Many of Hoboken’s public buildings that predate World War I, such as City Hall and the Demarest School, exhibit the massive proportions and fine detailing that city lead- ers during the period felt were essential to elevate the City’s public realm. The people who use Hoboken’s community facilities today have very different expectations of those facilities than residents did in the past. Where public bureau- cracies and buildings were once intended to inspire a sense of awe in the citizenry, today people expect openness, equal treatment, and a focus on customer service. Where infrastructure and waste collection were once kept out of sight, or at least out of mind, the new awareness of humanity’s relation to the environment means that utilities from trash removal to sewerage to electricity are coming under increased scrutiny.

  • Baker.Weber.Njefficiency 8 2 16
    NEW JERSEY EDUCATION POLICY FORUM On the Relative Efficiency of New Jersey Public School Districts Research Note 2016-#2 Bruce D. Baker & Mark Weber 8/3/2016 Contrary to current political rhetoric, New Jersey’s least efficient producers of student achievement gains are not the state’s large former Abbott districts – largely poor urban districts that benefited most in terms of state aid increases resulting from decades of litigation over school funding equity and adequacy. While some Abbott districts such as Asbury Park and Hoboken rate poorly on estimates of relative efficiency, other relatively inefficient local public school districts include some of the state’s most affluent suburban districts and small, segregated shore towns. 1 | Page Comparing the Relative Efficiency of New Jersey Public School Districts Executive Summary Contrary to current political rhetoric, New Jersey’s least efficient producers of student achievement gains are not the state’s large former Abbott districts – largely poor urban districts that benefited most in terms of state aid increases resulting from decades of litigation over school funding equity and adequacy. While some Abbott districts such as Asbury Park and Hoboken rate poorly on estimates of relative efficiency, other relatively inefficient local public school districts include some of the state’s most affluent suburban districts and small, segregated shore towns. And yet these districts will be, in effect, rewarded under Governor Chris Christie’s “Fairness Formula,”1 even as equally inefficient but property-poor districts will lose state aid. Findings herein are consistent with previous findings in cost-efficiency literature and analyses specific to New Jersey: There exists some margin of additional inefficiency associated with Abbott status relative to non-Abbott districts in the same district factor group, but the margin of additional inefficiency in the poorest DFG is relatively small.
