I never support new or increased taxes on anything--ever. But your logic doesn't make sense to me. The price of accommodations is established on the market, typically by the type of accommodations and services being provided. If you get less, then you pay less. The city is just taxing the dollar amount. So if you pay less in accommodation fees then you also pay less in taxes.

Call the parking authority. In my experience, they take a picture of the car at the time of the ticketing.

As long as they didn't steal money, the ethics violations don't really matter because you cannot trust *any* broker unless they are family or a close friend. The reason for this is that their interests are generally adverse to yours in building and closing a deal. For example, when a deal is being made, it's best to limit communication with them to things you would be comfortable saying to the counterparty for negotiation purposes because they will use any information they have to try to get the deal done (under any circumstances). If you have concerns or are working with actual deal mechanics you should speak to your lawyer. Keeping that in mind, brokers can (and should) be used as helpful gophers and babysitters. They can let you into condos or watch your apartment for you while potential buyers view it. They can also send you listings, but in this market you probably need to be proactive in finding listings yourself as soon as they go public.

Re: Jersey City Mayor Seeks to Limit Chain Stores Downtown

Fulop's proposal seems really strange. At this point, does ANYONE feel as though downtown is being overwhelmed by chains? That would be news to me. I think the prevailing view is that, thus far, all of the new retail development has been positive.
Also, what happens when there is another economic bust? Does the city really want to be turning away new a business because it's a "chain" when others are not jumping to fill the same space?

Re: Jersey City mayor-elect orders end to citywide reval

As it stands, real estate taxes might just as well be applied completely randomly. Virtually identical properties throughout the city are taxed at enormously different rates. It's not just unfair-- it also unjust and fraudulent.
From the article re: Weehawkin: "In 2013, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop canceled a contracted citywide revaluation, citing that it would result in unaffordable tax-hikes." So Fulop's justification for not doing a reval is that the people who are unfairly paying less will be required to fairly pay more. What a joke!!!

Is construction of the new Marriott above the Grove PATH entrance on Marin and Columbus going to cause a temporary closure of that PATH entrance?
See the first picture that pops up at this link: http://minnowasko.com/ Based on the photo it seems likely, which would be annoying. Also, does anyone know when construction is going to begin? One positive is that the hotel design looks nice.

I lived there a few years back. It has an awesome location, pool and gym. I didn't have the problems with my security deposit that the above poster mentioned. My biggest issue was the draft coming through the windows in the winter--it made the apartment freeeeezing cold all the time despite very high utility bills for the heat. The windows seem to be paper thin and the building apparently has terrible insulation or none at all. Most other residents I spoke with had the same complaint to varying degrees.

If the demand for parking increases, people will invest in building private lots. If people cannot afford parking, the solution is not to take money from others to pay for it. That's messed up--it's harmful to the city and it makes us all poorer.

The issue is that those contracts exist in the first place. Most educated professionals in the NYC area on salary are required to work as long as it takes to get the job done and please their boss/clients. It's as though these teachers see their work as an entitlement rather than a job.

This is why cities will oppose things like the google cars that are driven by a computer and never run red lights.
Cities actually WANT law breakers and they want ways to catch them and fine them.

I want to mention that this is NOT at all why Paulus Hook pizza is closing. The guy who runs the liquor store next door also owns the Paulus Hook pizza business and is holding on to the space (I'm not sure if he has a lease or if he owns). Apparently, he feels that the space can be better used for something else--it's an entrepreneural decision to make a change. By the way, my information on this point and the closure comes from the guy who works at the pizza place.

Putting other problems with the theory aside, collusion-based price-fixing wouldn't even get off the ground in DTJC with all rental options in nearby areas. The very fact that DTJC prices remain lower than other areas, despite the quick commute to NYC completely destroys the theory.
