Welcome to clown world - explain to us all the difference between a tent with walls and a building with walls.

TRENTON, N.J. – The Murphy Administration ruined many a struggling restaurant owners’ Thanksgivings with a costly new mandate; on November 25th, updated outdoor dining guidance was issued and owners were warned that “under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14(b)4, due to winter weather conditions, a UCC permit from the local construction office is required to maintain tents in use past November 30th.”

“In the interest of good business, municipalities are encouraged to waive permit fees for tents to remain in use past November 30, provided that the tents meet the snow bearing requirements,” the state Department of Community Affairs added.

The new rule also applies to “outdoor domes” of a certain size.

Unfortunately, some communities are reportedly ignoring the Uniform Construction Codes permit fee waiver recommendation. And then there’s the potential hidden cost: even without a local government fee, the expense required to hire an architect or engineer to draw plans for the permit application can sometimes total hundreds or even thousands of dollars particularly if municipal authorities demand changes.

New Jersey restaurants have been stuck at 25% indoor capacity for months, a situation which makes tent structures all the more critical to surviving the winter.

A recent Harvard survey discovered that 31% of New Jersey small businesses – including many restaurants – had closed their doors for good since the COVID-19 pandemic and corresponding restrictions began.

so, am i reading this right

they told them no indoor dining

then they had to pay a permit fee for an outside tent?


holeee f the little guy gets more screwed by the day

just do what youre told

you cant beat guvment

“Meet snow bearing requirements”

Honk honk

People who work in government and make these rules should be thrown from a moving train into a pit of cacti. Do these idiots even put two seconds of though into their ridiculous ideas? The only people more retarded than government workers are the fools who look to then to "do something".

Just say it's a tent the homeless set up.

Better yet just spray paint black lives matter or trannies welcome here on the outside and I'm sure the .gov there will give you a grant.

Obviously an enclosed tent keeps people with covid dining inside from spreading covid way better than if people with covid were dining in an enclosed area made by walls.

Stop denying science! People are dying. How dare you!

Everyone shut up! Democrats are a blessing to this country! Deal with it. They know best.

Take of one side and call it a canopy?

Just claim it's an outdoor tent for peaceful protesting.

This type of horse-cawkery is really what drives the general apathy and fatigue people experience with this covid business.

They seem to just be throwing schit at the wall and seeing what sticks at this point to placate the masses and create the illusion that they actually have answers and are actively working on real solutions.

You can't eat inside unless you're inside is outside.

Yeah it's a sunk cost but then the restaurant is ready to cash in on the lucrative "eating in Tents in the winter" market. Nice.

Only 2 more weeks bbz xxx

Its going to be very lucrative when they are only allowed 25% capacity.

Always disliked New Jersey and now I have reaffirmed my beliefs.

One solution would be the get a tent that is so large that 25% of it's capacity is actually 100% capacity of your restaurant. A few owners should go in on a circus sized tent and just have 100's of people there, still under % of capacity limit.

Yet we are told Biden won in a landslide

Ok then

No one is going to hang out outside in a few weeks. It's getting cold af out in NJ.
