Good point dtjcview. People who make this argument about school funding either have no clue about how the funding formula in NJ works or are being disingenuous. If they really have a problem with money from the suburbs going to support "inner-city" schools there is a simple solution: spread the socio-economic diversity of residents more evenly throughout NJ. This will never happen because NJ's over abundance of municipalities helps to support the segregation of people (adults and children?schools) by socio-economic status and too many still think that living in a community with almost zero diversity is a part of the american dream. Considering the per pupil amount JCPS spends, it could and should be doing much better. Each public school in this city should be providing a quality education.

Re: Buying an apt with tenant in place

This should be painless. Have your attorney for closing stipulate that the apartment must be vacant by closing. Actually, have them give the tenant notice that the you will need the place as your primary residence so they will need to vacate. Give the tenants at least 60 days. Your mortgage documents will likely require that you move in within 30 or 60 days after closing anyway if you told them you are purchasing the place to live in it.
I wouldnt walk away if the seller balks. If you like the place purchase it but have your attorney hold back money in escrow at closing to cover removing the tenant, rent for 2 months in case the tenant refuses to pay rent after you close, and money to cover any damage the tenant causes. Give the tenant notice on the day you close stating that you need the place to live in it. NJ laws are pretty tenant friendly but if you are purchasing a primary residence things swing back in your favor. With your mortgage documents showing this is your primary residence and a requirement that you move in by x date, you will likely get the tenant out pretty quickly. The chance you are taking by waiting until after you close to get the tenant out is that if the tenant cause any damage to the place, any amount beyond the money in escrow will be out of your pocket. Try to have the seller get the tenant out, but if that can't happen there are alternatives that have some built-in protection.

If you are going Solar, leases are not a great option. You are essentially paying the solar company to put holes in your roof and install money making (tax credits, SREC's, energy production) equipment while they keep all the revenue. The reduced electricity rates you get are laughable. Adding insult to injury, if you have to sell your place before the lease is up and the buyer does not want the same arrangement, you are in a pickle. I used Trinity Solar for my last purchase and installation. There were glitches but it all worked out in the end. I'd likely use them again. At the time I received a quote for purchase and one for lease. The quotes were not that far apart after tax credits, SREC's, and PSEG credits for producing energy were factored in. I also timed the installation toward the end of the tax year and filed my taxes as soon as I could so that I got my federal tax credit less than two months after paying for the installation. Advice: Purchase the solar panels and get the 30% federal tax credit, sell the SREC's and keep that cash, the energy produced by the panels will offset your utility bill, its a nice feature if you need to sell (may add value or be very attractive to certain buyers) and there will be no lease to complicate things. Do the math, solar leases are a boon for solar companies. They make so much money from solar leases, they should be paying homeowners to use their roof.

Massive PATH and Hudson River Crossings Toll Increase

AUGUST 5, 2011, 3:00 PM Port Authority Seeks Big Toll Increase By MICHAEL M. GRYNBAUM Librado Romero/The New York TimesTolls on the Holland Tunnel and other Hudson River crossings may rise significantly. The cost of crossing the bridges and tunnels that span the Hudson River to New York City could rise by 50 percent for many drivers under a steep series of toll increases to be proposed on Friday by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, according to two people familiar with the plans. A $4 toll increase for E-ZPass users could go into effect as soon as September on the three major Hudson River crossings ? the George Washington Bridge and the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels ? as well as three other bridges between New Jersey and Staten Island, the Bayonne and Goethals Bridges and the Outerbridge Crossing. The proposal, the first increase since 2008 and only the third since 2001, would raise peak-hour E-ZPass tolls on those crossings to $12 a ride, up from $8. The individuals familiar with the plans asked to remain anonymous because the proposal was not yet intended to be made public. The biggest increase by far would be felt by drivers who pay in cash: cash tolls on those crossings would be raised by $7, to $15 a trip. (By comparison, a cash toll on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge currently costs $13.) About 25 percent of drivers on the Port Authority crossings currently pay in cash. A single fare on the PATH train, the diminutive commuter subway system that connects parts of Manhattan to New Jersey, would be raised by $1, to $2.75 a ride. And the price of a 30-day unlimited pass for the PATH system would be raised by 65 percent, to $89 from $54 a month. The proposal calls for the crossing tolls to be raised again in 2014, with another planned increase of $2 for drivers who use E-ZPass and on the cash toll. The PATH fare would not be raised again in 2014, under the current proposal. Rumors of a toll hike have been floating around transit and political circles for months. But the increases unveiled on Friday are significantly steeper than expected: planners at the Port Authority had originally been discussing a $2 raise in the tolls this year. The board of the Port Authority must approve the proposal at a meeting this month. If approved, the governors who oversee the cross-state agency, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, would have a 10-day period during which they would be allowed to veto the toll increase. Revenue from the first set of higher tolls would raise an additional $720 million for the agency, which controls many of the region?s bridges, tunnels, shipping ports and airports. The second phase, in 2014, would raise an additional $290 million.

Crazy Chester is wrong.
The award is not based on need but completely competitive, the NJEA agreed to merit pay but not what Christie wanted, and the award is based on each States ability to provide the information requested/complete a questionnaire. The application for THIS YEAR (not last year) which was agreed to by the NJEA, more school districts and Schundler had the correct information. The mistake occurred during Chis Christie's rewrite of the application after he rejected what had been agreed to. The fact that the application was hurriedly rewritten over Memorial day weekend contributed. The application asked for a comparison of 2008 and 2009 education budget numbers, the Schundler application had that data but the Christie rewrite crew decided to change it to a comparison between 2010 and 2011. Same application submitted, without that one mistake and NJ would be less than 2 points ahead of Ohio and have $400 million more than it does today to spend on education. The rules are the rules and no State could make changes to its application after June 1, 2010. NJ submitted the application on June 1, 2010 BECAUSE the governor rejected the Schundler application and decided to rewrite it. Imagine what would happen if the feds allowed NJ to change something in its application after the deadline and Ohio, which would be less than 2 points behind, found out. What then???

These expenses come with owning a building. If the senior didn't own a building, the senior would not have the expenses that come with it. Owning rental property/being a landlord is a business. The senior you are talking about is essentially running a business which only requires that she pay the associated expenses and pay for repairs when they are needed. The senior should evaluate if the business is providing what she needs. If the senior is strapped and struggling with the income she currently gets, she can sell the building, rent and live very comfortably, or live off the equity in the building through a reverse mortgage. Also, this place would be a zoo if we all had the choice of only paying for services we use. The thought of having a wad of cash on hand to pay the firefighters when they respond to my house comes to mind because no-one ever plans for a fire and that would probably be one of the first things many would chose not to pay. We already pay income taxes that support city services, the New Jersey Income Tax. We also pay sales tax (which for JC is an especially sweet deal because the city gets to keep the revenue from much of the sale activity downtown for city improvement through the UEZ program), property taxes, whether for an abated or non-abated property, and federal income taxes. This city gets more than its fair share from Trenton but money just seems to disappear in this city with little to show for it. I commend you for taking the city/council to task for their addiction to abatements and one shot budget gimmicks but attacking people who pay more than a tidy sum in property taxes to this city for wanting a decent public school is very misguided. When we send property taxes to the city we dont get to decide where it goes, the city does so keep pressuring the council to make better decisions but please stop attacking fellow property tax payers who are bent over the barrel right next to you.

A senior living on social security and rent from a building she owns is not a bad deal. I hope to be able to do that after years of working. Also, they could easily buy a condo (all cash) at the beacon if they sell the building they collect rents from. I wouldn't advise it, but they could. Everyone hates taxes, but if we have to pay taxes the system should be blended (include several ways to collect taxes..income, property, sales, etc.) to spread the burden to a broad group. NJ's property tax system is blended. Also a senior who owns the property he lives in is eligible for senior freeze, a program which provides a property tax reimbursement to offset property tax increases and Homestead Rebates which provides a rebate check of up to 20% of their property taxes, while a high income non-senior is eligible for neither. The person who bought a beacon condo did not make the rules and most likely pays more in taxes for their tax-abated condo than the senior who owns a multifamily downtown. Dollars are dollars. I think if you ask many here if they would prefer to have a high income and use most of their income to pay a mortgage for the expensive beacon condo you are talking about or having no income but social security and rents from buildings they own with no mortgage, they'll chose the latter. Income is not an accurate measure of wealth, net worth is. A person who owns a downtown multifamily house outright and collects rent on units in it will most likely have a higher net worth than a high income person paying a high mortgage on a beacon condo.

BRING THE REVAL to allow fairness!!!!!!
The city is still not being responsible, and probably only doing a reval because they have no choice. The combined impact of successful tax appeals along with the loss of prepayments for PILOT agreements, loss of fat checks for school, transition and distressed city aid from trenton have finally bit this city in the arse. They are doing the reval because they got jammed by it all, nothing else. People with valuations from 1988 should be concerned. Property assessed during the real estate boom should be o.k. and may even come down a bit. This is painful only because this city's government is a bunch of inept goons who have lived in the pockets of developers for decades.

Can't make it there for a pre 6pm protest but will be there in spirit and more importantly will make my disgust known by filing a tax appeal. Encourage all to at minimum try to find out if you are likely to benefit from an appeal.
Anyone with property assessed after 2004 (maybe even earlier) should be especially motivated. Recently converted condos (within the past 5-6 years) would more than likely benefit.

Here you are appealing to the county tax board which forces the city to justify its assessment of your property. With recent real estate values there is not a better time to file a tax appeal if your property was assessed based on the real estate values of 2004, 2005, etc.. Since the city won't voluntarily spread the tax burden fairly, force it to do so.

Relax VVP, I don't think anyone is suggesting killing all dogs. I just think it is interesting that all the comments attempted to attack, belittle, or completely dismiss the argument instead of thinking about it. You did the same by saying that "there's no validity to this argument".
This is not an argument about what is man made or living as there are things that are man made that are absolutely necessary to the way we live today, like the car. Btw one could argue that man created all these dog breeds by domesticating and breeding previously wild animals to suit our needs..from herding cattle to having the biggest most adorable puppy dog eyes, softest coat, non-shedding coat, etc.. When I read the article it made me curious to read the book, made me think about what humans really need to survive on this planet and the last time I wondered why the hell someone not in construction or part of a security detail is driving a suburban in the middle of a city but don't recall ever thinking about the footprint of the lady down the block with 3 dogs. Also, do you ever notice that a majority of green building/architecture magazine articles which feature people who are very much into their carbon footprint in many, many instances feature the family pet in the photos? If the article is correct and a dog=2 SUVs, how ironic is that and try to imagine the same article with the 2 SUVs in place of the family dog in the pictorial.

Or even better, when we rage against car owning people who pollute city air and contribute to global warming while we live in the middle of that same city with two dogs and a cat, each of which is twice as bad as 1 SUV, how do we wrap our head around it all (Carbon footprint of pets, dog poop polluting waterways and poisoning wildlife, killing wildlife, etc..)? We are such a pet loving society that this report will go absolutely nowhere and will likely lead to no major studies nor cultural shifts, but nonetheless is a very interesting conversation to have.

Not sure but call or email Hudson Honda to find out. Probably a little more complicated than buying a can of paint in the UEZ since taxes on a car purchase are really collected when you register the car. So maybe you have to register the car at an address in the UEZ and purchase from participating dealer in the UEZ in order to pay 3.5% tax.
Also, don't forget that all sales tax on a new car purchased this year is tax deductible when you file your 09 federal income tax return. Special Tax Break Available for New Car Purchases This Year IR-2009-30, March 30, 2009 WASHINGTON ? The Internal Revenue Service announced today that taxpayers who buy a new passenger vehicle this year may be entitled to deduct state and local sales and excise taxes paid on the purchase on their 2009 tax returns next year. ?For those thinking about buying a new car this year, this deduction may give them a little more drive to make their purchase this year,? said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. ?This deduction enables taxpayers to buy now and get cash back later on their tax returns.? The deduction is limited to the state and local sales and excise taxes paid on up to $49,500 of the purchase price of a qualified new car, light truck, motor home or motorcycle. The amount of the deduction is phased out for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income is between $125,000 and $135,000 for individual filers and between $250,000 and $260,000 for joint filers. IRS also alerted taxpayers that the vehicle must be purchased after Feb. 16, 2009, and before Jan. 1, 2010, to qualify for the deduction. The special deduction is available regardless of whether a taxpayer itemizes deductions on their return. The IRS reminded taxpayers the deduction may not be taken on 2008 tax returns.

For anyone that does not mind Ballys, there are a few lifetime memberships you can purchase from a current member with very low fixed annual fees (no longer offered at Bally's) which cannot be increased, ever. Only drawback is that the membership becomes yours forever..i.e. you can't transfer it to someone else.
I was looking around the other day after my annual membership at one of the nicer downtown gyms expired and ended up purchasing a Bally's lifetime membership for less than it would cost for an annual membership at Club H, Brick Haus or NYSC with a fixed membership renewal cost of under $30 for 12 months. Even with the pay in full "discount" at the nicer area gyms, I was still ahead on day 1 with the bally membership I bought. Send a pm if interested. For the flamers: I am not selling these memberships and do not benefit in anyway from any sale, just sharing what worked for me since $1,000 annually on a gym just does not work for me in the longterm.

With expenditures per pupil (JC is one of highest in nation), % of pop with diploma or GED or Advanced degrees (JC is most likely very competitive there). Fact that many of the large cities in NYC metro (NYC, JC, Yonkers, Newark) are represented may make a case for the importance/value of geography.
