Goat and I killed more brain cells while sitting next to each other at dive bars than the total brain mass of any 12 Jeopardy contestants combined. He didn’t deserve to go out like that. It’s a sad, sad day.

Hudson Hall.

Only had one there, so my opinion is severely skewed.

Take the Path to Newark and go to Hobby's.

Yikes, that’s quite a steep jump

I guess they are technically correct, there is plenty of housing in the country.... if you just add it all together irrelevant of location and quality. Housing crisis is specifically because there isn't enough housing where the jobs are and where people generally want to live thats a reasonable commuting distance.

Also the day people realize that housing cannot sustainably appreciate forever (for numerous reasons) as an asset there probably will be an enormous crash and cultural shift of housing as an investment to housing as a need (see: Japan). We are nowhere close to that yet sadly. Probably take another 20 or so years.

I think you got some of your numbers mixed up there.

Thanks, School Board! Next year it'll be another 30% in property tax, voted in by the ''I'm such a good person and I want everyone to know it'' crowd.

Refuse to pay it. Unconscionable rent increase is not allowed by law

Mine went up 48%.

Try telling this to r/rebubble…

According to them, there is so much housing in this country that a crash is going to happen any day now…

You read my mind — I have been so craving a pastrami sandwich. The one at Dark Pines seems to be thin-sliced/Cole slaw deal… does anyone know if anywhere in town has a hot pastrami sandwich? Like the thicker cut pastrami with some mustard and a pickle on the side.

And, for any of my fellow Mets fans, since it’s almost time for baseball season: if you haven’t already, next time you’re at Citi Field, get the pastrami sandwich. Just trust me. It’s so good.

Hobby's Deli in Newark, end convo.

Ding ding ding

The big real estate companies are still gouging renters, but let’s not overlook property taxes as a culprit too. Especially for regular landlords who need to keep up with their now doubled taxes.

Alex & Terry's Deli in Bayonne is the best around that I have had.

I'd love to join!

What you see is that we aren't building enough. The prices would be even higher if we were building less housing.

S&P Lunch in Manhattan.

Most diverse city in the world

In 45 minutes you can be in Times Square or be on a farm

It has the sense of community you get in a small city (ie. you see a lot of the same faces if, say, your kids are the same age; I've met our councilperson numerous times; you can bike anywhere in town easiliy enough), but you still have access to everything NYC has to offer.

RIP.

One of the main culprit for rent increase, unfortunately is that the property taxes in Jersey City almost doubled last year

Not sure what your rent went from and to but the market has definitely slowed down and I've even seen some of the crazy prices come down slightly. You should look around and see if there are available units elsewhere more affordable for you. They definitely exist. Otherwise unfortunately 10% isn't good but last year people were seeing crazy 15%-20% increases. It's not good but 10% is likely a sign of your management being bold but not as bold as they would have been last year, simply because they can't.

Fuck man! A legendary presence, especially to those partial to an afternoon gargle.

Katz's. Duh.
