My former home made this list in the Jersey Journal article. By the way, taxes are high because Fulop spending increased nearly $100 million. We did not feel the impact because many tax abatements expired granted in the 1990s. Taxes should have gone down, but it hid this spending. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... s.html#incart_2box_hudson

Lemme guess, 272 Barrow?

Its crazy to think that 20-30 years of amazing growth in downtown that the taxes were subsidized by the poorest neighborhoods of Jersey City, many of them paying higher taxes on properties worth a fraction of downtown properties for a very long time.

Bit of insight into how poorly this city is mismanaged, ehh?

From the schools, streets to the police force.

According to this, my property taxes will increase by $24,000 or 2.6 times what I am paying now.
That's completely insane.

Nope, it's the cost of underpaying taxes for too many years. Look at the bright side - you're living in the lap of luxury now in Paulus Hook (not some shithole on MLK)..... #having your cake served

How are other small time landlords handling the reval and rent? I'm looking at over 100% increase in my RE taxes and there is no way I can ask my tenant to cover the change. I'm hoping I can get 50% out of them or have them leave and then hopefully increase it with new tenants and be back to even.

It will need to fall within the parameters of what is
a conscionable rent increase vs what can be argued an

New recent owners killed this place.
Probably one of the only throwbacks on Central Ave that's
still around and it was your classic deli that made great egg sandwiches and lunch hot plates with the best rice pudding in town.

Yeah sure, especially when the place is sitting on a 3 billion dollar endowment and has a basement full of priceless works of art gifted to them that they don't even have the wall space to display.

May as well charge $25 bucks to walk around and look them.

Well now when trying to get on a train @ 33rd station it is packed out with riders coming up from 23rd who already grabbed a seat.

Amazing how when doors opened half the ppl in the car stayed in place, maybe it's a life hack I'll need to start doing as well.

(12/28/17) Liberty State Park marina plan moves forward

Updated 1:37 PM; Posted 1:30 PM
By Terrence T. McDonald tmcdonald@jjournal.com
The Jersey Journal

JERSEY CITY -- A Texas marina company and the state Department of Environmental Protection have agreed on the terms of a new lease that would allow the company to expand its current marina in Liberty State Park and build a new one on the park's south end.

The tentative agreement between Suntex Marinas and the DEP puts the controversial marina expansion plan one step closer to reality. The proposal, criticized by park advocates as a commercial takeover of the 1,200-acre park, must be reviewed by the DEP and approved by the State House Commission.

Beyond sad that even our public parks aren't safe from overdevelopment.

Wow. Is this a recent change? I used to launch my kayak from there often and never had an issue. I was not even aware that there is/was a fee to park there. Is there any signage to that effect? Also, where does one buy/pay for a launch ticket to avoid a parking fine? Thanks!

For boat/trailer receipt you'd pay way down the end in the small office/administration building (near flags).

Also looking for an update on this as I've not done it in years but I'd go out solo with a Klepper Kayak and gotten ticketed for leaving my car in that lot.

It's a drag to leave your gear on that little dock and then have to park your car down much further in the free lots.

Used to launch a small boat there and if you parked in the lot with a trailer attached you needed a receipt in the window showing that you paid - you could launch a kayak and leave your car in that area for free if a trailer was not present, but understand they started ticketing any cars in there w/o a launch receipt.

When I launch my kayak there I'm always astonished at the number of people who drive there and just sit in their cars taking in the view. Not my style, but it's PUBLIC ACCESS to a PUBLIC ASSET.

Are you able to leave your car there (in the launch parking area) or do you need to pay and have a recipe for boat launch to use the ramp as a kayak put it?

The south end of the park is heaven and not commercialized and hopefully can stay this way.

Reality Check:

The first marina on Liberty State Park public land should have NEVER been built along with all the shitty wasted boats sitting in dry dock where the repair center is.

That bullshit politically connected wedding reception restaurant
should be bulldozed.

The privatization of the parking lot for the ferry service should be FREE - it's a public park

Liberty Science center should not charge those absurd admission prices if it's on gifted government land and works as a nonprofit

Yet these have been legally sold for years on end and nicely taxed, sheeit we even created a special police force called the ATF to make sure the tariffs are collected & paid.
