I'll admit I'm crazy, but I kind of like it for the retro vibe. It fits in with old school Jersey City. Plus I consider the biggest architectural diesters in the city to be every salmon-pink Bayonne Box that gets built. Like a cancer, it destroys the character of a neighborhood and multiples the same banal structures up and down the block.
Bayonne Boxes rant aside, the real purpose of this building from an urban perspective is that it will bring hundreds of workers to an area of the city in need of a little boost. There is many vacant lots in the area along with struggling small businesses. I don't know what the crime rate is for this area, but having police HQs in the neighborhood should add to safety.
