Yep that's helpful thank you! What are the odds they would actually lower it for you? The other consideration when buying here is the low inventory - NYC has something for everyone. I have noticed that the amount I can afford according to a mortgage calculator is approx 100k more in Manhattan, and I'm trying to figure out what I'm missing.

It goes up but not annually or obviously stays the same. The only way it could go down is during a property tax assessment. Property assessments correlates wih property taxes. Housing prices assessed last year or two were super high but they are now coming down so I plan on asking for a reassessment in the next year or two to get a lower assessment but it could not work out too. Hope that helps

List it on Facebook marketplace and local FB real estate/rental groups. Also list it on North Jersey Craigslist. There is LeaseBreak.com but honestly it has been the less of the three options. I’m going through this exact same thing now. Good luck!

You forgot about the Jollibee. Other than that, you are 100% correct.

The notion that this museum will be some world class destination is delusional.

Think about it... you are a tourist... you have limited time and money to see the sights in NYC on a long weekend. Are you really going to skip the MET, MOMA, or Guggenheim to get on a PATH train and take the long detour through Hoboken before finally heading towards JSQ to see art in some building situated between a Target and a bus depot?

That’s not weird at all. That’s god tier stuff.

Chips aren’t hard to make, or expensive. Decent ingredients cooked correctly will be awesome. Doesn’t matter if it’s a cafeteria or fancy restaurant.

FWIW my college had amazing fresh cookies in the cafeteria. The older lady who was the lead baker was excellent. Every damn thing on that tray was always top notch. Even when all the actual meals were typical cafeteria food.
