Every four years, actually. The rotation is with Bethpage, Ridgewood, and Plainfield. It will return here in 2017.

I forgot to add that the units have those under-the-window heating/AC units which are electric and tend to be expensive to run. I don't recall the exact amounts of my bills, though. I know they weren't in the $400 range. I would only have them running as needed.

I lived here for over a year soon after it was built, in 2006. I rented from an owner. It was fine for a rental, but I would not have invested as an owner. I thought the quality of the units - flooring, doors, cabinets, etc - were what you would find in a typical rental building. Home Depot quality. Of course, some units may have upgrades that mine did not have. The flooring seemed like it did not adhere well and buckled slightly in some areas. If you looked at the bottom of the doors, either the floors were crooked or the door was because you could see a widening gap between the floor and door. Not many amenities. The courtyard is nice. Small gym. Quiet location. Not much to look at view-wise. I cannot speak to how well it held up during Sandy. I know the penthouse units have several skylights, which may or may not have held up. And I also cannot speak to any issues that may have arisen or been taken care of in the last five years.
I was happy living there. Perfectly adequate as a short-term rental, but I think you would have a hard time competing against some of the newer condos if you purchased and wanted to sell in a few years. You might attract a buyer looking for a cheaper, no-frills condo, though.

Hoboken is tremendous for singles in their 20's. When you move into your 30's and 40's, you need to start thinking about moving on. My guess is that people who hate on Hoboken weren't getting laid.

Your juvenile response is accurate with regards to Christie almost surely winning the election. I was just saying your immature previous comments regarding the newspapers were clueless. And Christie's only actions during the storm were to tell people to be careful and then bow and turn both palms up to the feds. He wasn't reaching across the aisle, he was reaching out for money. He is not a good leader. He is a good obfuscator. He will get his ass handed to him in a national election. Know this. He won't make it that far, though, since his own party won't put him out there.

Did McGreevey take money that was meant to help New Jerseyans in order to make those tourism commercials and run them during a re-election campaign? And the sale for a loss of the Boston Globe has nothing to do with "slanted" journalism and everything to do with the delivery of news these days. The NY Times is the premier newspaper in the US and certainly the most well-written. It is a profitable newspaper which has a circulation more than triple that of the unprofitable, right-wing NY Post. So what is the real lesson?

From the website:
(Tickets are valid for one continuous trip in one direction.) This means that you are not supposed to use it for the return trip. You could probably get away with it since the checkers only glance to see the expiration time, but I have heard of people getting a fine because they used the same ticket on a return trip, even though it had not expired.

Another vote for Provident. Provident is the choice if you want to do anything in person. And if you meet the requirements, you will receive almost twice as much in interest as any other bank on your first $15k. If you do not think you can meet the requirements, then an online bank such as Ally may be the way to go. FYI - Ally is the rebranding of the old General Motors Acceptance Corp. Provident is headquartered in Jersey City, if this means anything to you.

It is more likely that she would be dead. And relaxed gun laws would have made it more likely that the intruder would be armed, in which case she would also likely be dead. Fortunately, no guns were in sight and she is alive and he will be caught.

The hands and "Colgate" sign were removed and they are now taking down the actual metal "crossbars" of the structure itself. It has been relocated before, so it could be again. Goldman Sachs is in charge of maintaining the clock, so maybe it will become the Goldman Sachs Clock.

They have a $1,899 home purchase deal if you go through their title company. Rates are very competitive and they close quickly if you have your stuff together and pro-actively stay in touch with them and your own lawyer. Currently 3.5% for 30-year fixed, no points. Lower than both Sovereign and Citi. Co-op rates might be higher, though.

I would recommend a Speed Queen model, but I don't think they make one small enough for you. The smallest is 27". They are made in the USA and built like tanks. They use knobs instead of digital control panels. To clean clothes you need water, detergent, and an agitator. Anything else is superfluous nonsense.
