@JadedJC: I thought kitchen would fall under "Dwelling"? I was told that anything move-able goes under "Personal", and anything that does not move (e.g. stove, cabinets, fridge, etc) goes under "Dwelling".

I believe my insurance agent (at the time) offered me that explanation.

75K for personal property seems rather high, unless you are ensuring a lot of valuable jewelry. If you were to do an inventory of all your material possessions inside your unit, do you really get up to 75K?

Has anyone corroborated this "Fulop position" other than a one time poster's assertion? It's not on his platform page.

I have a hard time believing Steve would be naive enough to think the reval can, or should be stopped. The main problem with this reval is it's 15 years late. That allowed nonsense like brownstones worth $1.16m paying only $12k. tax record I have a place just appraised at $300k paying $10k. Bring on the reval, and beware the people squealing the loudest, they've been picking your pocket.

socially conscious? oh please. they love to tout themselves as being so but thats not actually the case. obviously no large company is perfect but don't buy into the hype either.

there is good quality produce near us at Subia's. and our downtown farmers market, when it is happening. there are CSA's in the area as well.

we are not in dire need. people use fresh direct, WF delivers. if you have a car you can drive to many different supermarkets that carry organic. there are people in neighborhoods who don't even have access to non-rotting produce, let alone the pretty organic kind. that is dire need.

it just seems out of place and obnoxious.
if you can get your bread and pastries at a whole foods, why go to the new bakeries that have opened? why go to the farmers market if you can just do it all at whole foods? etc.

many of us like living in downtown JC because of its small business and lack of chain stores. we have enough chain stores. if i see another god damn 7/11 in manhattan I'm going to barf.

People here are so critical of real estate decisions.

I am waiting for the article where someone gets a short sale in 77 Hudson for 100k and someone says it's an ugly building.

Prices are slated to go up over 5% in DTJC. It's a good place to invest overall.

What did you expect?

Just ate here with my wife and another couple. It was probably the worst dining experience that I've ever had in Jersey City. The waiter and the kitchen had no concept of courses. I ordered Pho as a starter and seafood with noodles as a main course. My dining companions also ordered appetizers and entrees. To start, two people were served appetizers while the other two got nothing. Then my wife was served her main course (a very expensive lobster) alone. Then immediately after, the other entrees were served and my wife's appetizer came. I still had no Pho. In the mean time, the servers brought over THREE plates of sprouts and basil, saying "for soup" but no soup was to be seen anywhere. I still had nothing. Called the waiter over and let him know my extreme displeasure.

He hid in the kitchen for the remainder of the meal. Finally received my entree delivered by a busboy and, of course, 30 seconds later my Pho came which I sent back. When the waiter finally came out of the kitchen, he circled the dining room which only had four active tables, while talking on his CELL PHONE, ignoring my table because he didn't want to talk to me and apologize. The whole meal was a disaster. Never got to taste the Pho, and despite my complaints, nothing was removed from my check. Too bad. Could have been a nice addition to our dining rotation.

I did get the postcards showing the assesments but I also got a bill showing the new tax charges for the first 6 months due May 1. The bill for the first half of 2013 is more than I paid for all of last year.

I just got my tax bill in the mail and JC has tripled the taxes in my building. This is insane, I don't mind a gradual tax increase but this is insane.
