Move. Nothing you can do about it. My new apartment when I moved in had Indian tenants previously and it reeked of Indian food for the first week or two when we moved in, but it eventually got covered up by our smells + deep cleaning of walls and cooking area.

Its true that the smell attaches to things but its not as hard to get out as people say. If they are cooking every night the smell will continuously compound which will require a lot of cleaning to get rid of. you can burn a candle near your door/in vents where the smell enters from and that should help, but there is no way you can get rid of it as long as they keep cooking.

Yeah something along those lines. Basically there’s two kinda of lights for buildings that big. The red evening ones weren’t working and they had these daytime ones on which made it look like a light house at nighht. There’s actually some funny YouTube video/ recordings about pilots being able to see it from a ways away.

What’s the point you are making? The place you linked here is a 3M condo over 1000 sqft in nyc, yet its property tax is about 30k a year. That actually shows the ny property tax is lower than nj, because if you look at the same price of property in nj, the tax will be more than doubled more so around 60k

how is newport or jsq relevant?

idk man. i’ve lived in apartments my entire adult life, plenty of them adjacent to households cooking with curry on the reg. i have never had my walls or fabrics stained or acquire smells. maybe if the curry was being cooked IN my apartment. i’m not in charge of you, if you find this so unbearable that it’s making you want to move then 🤷‍♀️

That’s half the story.

The other half is post pandemic conditions making teachers quit. Especially young ones. So the only option is increasing pay until enough people think it’s worth it.

Or get some court to agree to the insane idea that people with teacher’s certification can be legally compelled to serve. I don’t see that happening in NJ.

This is the next crisis. Way too many teachers left right now in the state are a couple years from retirement and that’s what’s keeping them. Many of the younger ones are revolving door teachers because some scholarships made it worth it, but even that’s been less and less.
