No that bill is insane!?!! Have maintenance or even PSEG come and check that the meter on the bill is actually for your apartment. You probably also need better insulation. I don’t know why everyone is telling you to turn the heat down… that temperature is fine.

Look up vehicular "sunscreening" -- that's the term NJ uses for legal front tints for medical purposes. I don't know if these cops actually do it legally, but they could. Especially if they have a doctor who's willing to play ball and fill out the paperwork regardless of actual medical necessity (which would itself be illegal if untrue).

Do they actually have a verifiable underbody wash? Or do they just claim to?

Seems to be 50/50 with car washes. Some you can clearly see it. Either the canons shooting up or that lawn sprinkler kinda thing you go over. You can even hear it if you’re in the vehicle. Others just spray the tires.

In the winter that’s important.

The short answer is that it's inconsequential either way. The long answer is that the traffic code actually does carve out a decent number of exemptions, and parking anywhere is probably one of them although it's been a while since I skimmed through -- but they're always with a caveat that it's for reasons related to actual work, so personal errands don't count. Food would be a gray area because it's a necessity more than a luxury in some sense, and theoretically time spent on legal parking would be time that could be spent on actual duties.
