There should be way more public transportation. There should also be way better roads. I wonder how many mechanics would go out of business if the road quality drastically improved

It has gone down a hair twice in my lifetime. Each instance was followed by more than enough of an increase to offset the drop. Specifically, yes. Practically, nah.

Fulop isn't running again, he's going to do anything he wants.....

I'm not against this. However the public transit needs a great addition to make it really feasible

Honestly less of a testament to anything particularly great about JC and more about how awful the situation is in the rest of the country.

You must experience it for yourself to become a true Jersey Cityan.

Good bot

I had to find out what the rave was about so I braved the arctic and picked up a bag of these chips today. These chips are overrated. I think the chips are one of the worst potato chips I have ever had in my life. The chips were a little too thin and barely salted. The olive oil on the chips did not taste good.

Well taxes have gone down or held the same due to efficiency improvements in the city. It’s not impossible.

But reality is they should climb with inflation so at least 2% annually. Anything short of that is just budget manipulation and we ultimately pay up with interest in due time.

Taxes are your % of the city budget, so even if everyone’s property value declines, your percentage would stay the same. It’s only if your property declines and others stay the same or increase would you save on taxes. But as you point out, that’s more negative than positive.

The city is way behind on a lot of infrastructure even just maintaining, forget about scaling for density, so I’d fully expect some steep increases over the next 10-15 years until it catches up.

Thanks I appreciate it

Yea plus who would choose to actively destroy their vehicles by driving on Jersey cities crumbling roads when you can take public transportation ? They should just finish the job and destroy what’s left of the roads.

You must be talking about 16th Street west of Coles Street

Wurstbar and Bob Whites!

I am new here… what happens on the first Sunday of the month?

Penalty for early termination, if any, should be in the lease you signed.

I know you're only here to talk real estate, but my condolences on the breakup. Those can be tough.

But… most fries are gluten free?

That or a bean bag chair and a joint.

Yeah I already work in NYC, but overall income tax would be 3% higher

Keep in mind the city income tax you’d pay in NYC.

It's okay. Pricey. Needs an update to the menu IMO.

Short answer is no.

If your property value declines, your taxes might go down. But you don't really want that if you're an owner. If you're over assessed, your taxes might go down if you appeal or in a reval. But for budgeting purposes, expect it to increase 2-3% a year in most of NJ. In JC I'd expect it to go up like $1000/year each year for another year or two, then go back to steady growth.

Should Ruffles have an NJ Transit bus on them?

The picture on the tin is a serving suggestion.
