Nonsense, JC tax rates are far less than NJ average rates. Why? JC taxpayers pay less than 20% of its own school costs, sponging from suburban taxpayers.


Ever since the changes to the SALT deduction at the federal level, how much of these supposedly low property taxes can JC property owners realistically deduct from their taxes? (after taking into account the state tax deduction)?

Being a property owner in a high tax state has changed dramatically since the changes to the SALT deductions. To then layer on additional tax levies (such as this Arts trust) without the benefit of tax deductions is not reasonable.

Re: Who is running to replace Yun in Ward D?

Patrick Ambrossi (president of Leonard Gordon Park Conservancy) is running against Yousef Saleh (currently the interim councilperson appointed by Fulop). The Heights deserves an independent voice in city hall. Yun - God rest his soul - was this voice for us. Ambrossi could be this voice for us as well.

Wow.... that was interesting long drawn out experience on the NJ DoE site. Suggest everyone go out and check your voter/ballot status.

It says my November ballot was "issued" 9/14. I have not got it yet (9/22) Do you suppose the same USPS operational issues about the system strain collecting/mail processing ballots might be occurring with mail distribution out to voters?

Good thing I saved that DoE url so I can go back to the FAQ to see what I need to do to get a replacement? I love those romantic good ol' days when on election day, I could just walk two blocks to the neighborhood school, sign in, vote and never think twice about whether my vote was counted.


My information noted the same date. I didn't "request" a ballot, so that should be asterisked and accurately noted for the future.

in NJ, you don't have to request a mail in ballot. everyone gets one automatically. the date under "request received date" is likely the same for everyone (for example, mine shows the same exact date).

property taxes are already high in JC. if you want a trust fund for the arts so badly, carve out some dollars from the police budget and put it towards the arts.

So per the article, there was an ordinance passed in response to the behavior that the BOE member described in her now deleted post. So...why should she resign? Dissenting opinions are not automatically racist no matter how much people love throwing around the R word.

Re: Another top honor for JC - worse city to drive
#8

Just can't stay away


learning to drive around here has made me a better driver.

- attentive (for morons crossing / biking against the light, for morons who switch lanes without signaling),
- aware (so i'm not cruising at 50 MPH in the left lane, so that i'm not swerving 3 lanes to catch my exit on the turnpike at the last second),
- confident (so i'm not stuck dilly dallying at an heavily trafficked intersection)

I'd argue that driving around here / NYC for a decade has allowed me to learn these skills and has made me a better driver. So maybe JC is the best city to drive?

Re: Do Prospective Home Buyers Look at Both JC & Hoboken?

I've been looking at both for some time. That said, they are quite different. Only downtown JC is directly comparable to the majority of Hoboken. Other areas (1/2 family houses in Heights or Bergen Lafayette) are not really comparable to Hoboken. So I can see why your agent would say that.

Re: Paulus Hook to midtown NYC via PATH

thinking like 830-9am mornings, and reverse commute around 6pm.

Yes ferry would definitely be an option, but more $$ than PATH + Light rail combo

Paulus Hook to midtown NYC via PATH

Just can't stay away


Can anyone who makes the daily commute from Paulus Hook to midtown NYC via PATH comment on how feasible it is to walk to Exchange Place, take the PATH to Newport, then switch to the 33rd street line? (particularly interested in platform crowding, delays, etc).

Would a better option be Light Rail to Newport, then walking down to the PATH?

Last case option would be walking to Grove St, although that would be about a mile hike.

Re: Should inmates be allowed to vote?

The constitution gives people the right to bear arms, but we don't allow inmates to bear arms while they are incarcerated.

I don't think inmates should be allowed to vote, but they 100% should be allowed to vote once they have finished their sentence or are on parole.

bump - also looking to see what time Snoop will be on. I stopped by the festival last year (I think it was Kool N the Gang), and they were on towards the end of the night, right before the fireworks. I would assume that Snoop would be on around the same time, but just wanted to make sure.

somehow there seems to be a difference between using a helicopter for a medical emergency and using a helicopter to attend a baseball game. i can't quite put my finger on the difference though.
