Property taxes will always be higher here than in NYC, because NYC makes it up with the city income tax.

Reply to comment by Fun-Concentrate2630 in I have a dumb question - do property taxes ever go down? by Fun-Concentrate2630
The odds depend upon comparable houses or condos being sold at prices that are lower than your property assessment. When you appeal it you attach evidence of comparable being sold at lower prices than the assessment could change.
Not sure of NYC but I would contact brokers there to find out

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

Property taxes are unlikely to go down but did you take into consideration not having to pay NYC tax If you live in Jersey City and the size of the apartment you get in Jersey City compared to Manhattan

For a certainty Bing would have never missed a council meeting. And he’d be up to speed on the Museum project too.

I grew up going to that bar when it wasn’t Monnaghan’s (sp?) such a nice bar layout. Def need to get up there more now.

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?

The few I tried didn’t have them, but that was more than a couple years ago when they were still newer so I’ll have to try again.

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.
