come to fort lee, buy a turnkey townhouse for 800k, or a 2br/2ba apt for 300-400k, many direct buses to 42nd st, and it's not in the middle of nowhere suburbs either.

At current rate, i will be paying $17,000 / year in property tax for a 1br condo. I imagine the newer fancier condos will be hitting $20k / year for 1 br in property tax. It's god damn insane, especially considering how shtty the schools.

I share everyone's anger and frustration with the sudden and large increase in real estate taxes. In a state of anger, I thought I would sell my brownstone. But then that leaves the question of where I would go. I've been a city person my entire life. I grew up in Newark, commuted to college. My first job out of college was in Manhattan. I lived on 127th and Broadway in 1987. Moved to Jersey City in 1992, so I could go to law school in Newark. I have been in JC since. So I went on Realtor.com and looked at real estate in Maplewood. While I could probably sell my brownstone and pay cash for a pretty nice house, I learned that the real estate tax rate in Maplewood is 3.32%. Even with our increase, we're at 2.11%. This doesn't take away my anger or frustration. But it does seem that at least for me, other options would be more expensive at least in terms of real estate taxes.

2022 4 11/28/2022 TAXES BILL $4,478.18 $0.00
2022 3 8/1/2022 TAXES BILL $3,150.67 $0.00
2022 2 5/1/2022 TAXES BILL $2,324.60 $0.00

go f yourself jc ,,!,,

The increase is on assessment so downtown properties will get double tiple taxes based on the Jersey Journal article.

Local property taxes are hiked for a second time this year. https://www.nj.com/hudson/2022/10/jers ... rth-quarter-tax-bill.html

brosch, are you still getting messages from here? Please read the new post from me on the boy found in Pershing Park.

Well, to start with, Harold's twin brother is Raymond (Ray) Kopf, not Richard. Even the Times gets it wrong sometimes. Richard is their older brother.
Harold did not go to the park; he was dumped there. The perpetrator was a "friend" of the family. I don't know if the man was arrested and convicted...it was a horrible time for Ray, and he's a little hazy on some details. He does remember being told that the guy had a bad accident, and died from his injuries. Ray always believed there was more to it than just an accident, but the only person who could have told him the truth about that died years ago.
I don't have many more details, other than yes, Harold was molested and then beaten to death. Nothing about any body part being cut off, although I have to admit, they might not have shared that information with Ray...he was only 11 years old at the time. Ray really doesn't like talking about it, as you can imagine. Harold was his identical twin, and he still feels the loss. Even though he is now 54, I still won't share that bit of information with him. He doesn't need to hear anything new about the incident - proven or unproven - that would just make it worse for him. Thankfully, he's pretty much a technical troglodite, so he asks me to look things up for him online. I won't be showing him this thread, although I will let him know Harold has not been forgotten.

Here it comes...



State regulators on Wednesday approved double-digit rate increases for four gas providers serving millions of customers in the state, with prices expected to rise by hundreds of dollars on an annualized basis for some people.

PSEG, which serves 1.9 million people across the state, was granted a nearly 25% increase, which would amount to a $256.38 a year hike to the "typical" residential bill, according to the state Board of Public Utilities. BPU commissioners also approved a 15.8%, $258.72 annual increase for New Jersey Natural Gas and its 568,000 ratepayers.

I often wonder how much money the City of Jersey City can make if they did a sweep twice a week ticketing the folks who walk their dogs onto the Dog Free Lawns of Hamilton Park and double down on the folks who run their dogs off leash. I find it fascinating to watch ostensibly educated people walk right past the Dog Free Lawn signs with their dogs. It's like they're not the slightest bit thoughtful.

I have a property in New England that I am worrying a bit about. The New England power grid with coal and nuclear being phased out is almost completely dependent on natural gas. The pipeline capacity was never expanded to provide enough gas to keep the lights on during cold periods. Blackouts were only avoided by switching over to no. fuel oil (power plants are generally dual fuel) and getting emergency imports of liquefied natural gas from Russia.

Fuel oil stocks are dangerously low due to shipping so much of it to Europe. Russia? Well.. not sure if that LNG shipment will be arriving this season, given the current political situation.

I am looking into a backup generator and one of these to heat the place:



Never thought I would see a manufactured energy crisis like we had back when I was a kid. Odd / Even day policies coming back regulating when you can get gas for your car?

Donald Trump negotiated a deal between the Saudi's and Russia. We paid for that. Donald Trump will be going to jail before December. You're in a cult.

Quote:

No, perhaps Joe Biden should allow the XL Pipeline to be finished which will bring energy to the US. And Joe Biden should stop selling US energy to China from our reserves.

at least we won't be as bad as what is happening in the UK

Jared Kushner's father is building a huge high rise in Journal Square with the $2bb his son got from the Saudis. Perhaps the Kushner's should make some sort of contribution to energy resources in Jersey City, considering how much this building will tax our infrastructure. Quote:

The US is sitting on tons of fossil fuels but in the holy name of green energy, we, the public will be paying more to heat our homes. This is insane. It reminds me of California with their rolling backouts and the governor telling everyone they must buy an electric car but you cannot charge it due to the blackouts.

I checked. There is no legitimate evidence of any of your claims

The main question is: will Boulevard Drinks be allowed to remain?
