You forgot the $40 for parking.

in the same way i sound ridiculous to you, you too sound ridiculous to me. i feel like im talking to someone that doesnt speak english.

> I don’t care what they say, that’s the only thing that’s drastically diffrent.

Correlation and causation are not the same thing. It sucks how social media and it's echo chambers have made so many people armchair scienticians.

Just so you know, Montclair has rent control and there are affordable units in town. They cap increases at 4%.

You’re ridiculous. Scroll back to the original comments here and take a look at how far you moved the goal posts.

And run lucrative side businesses.

and I just re-upped my season pass to Skudin Surf.

Hope the place doesn't close. That wave pool has killer surf sessions there.

cool. but if i decide to rent out one floor or one room, im not making any profits. you were arguing tht literally every landlord in the state was making huge profits.

So many towns on this list don't even need their own police department. They're paying officers huge salaries, coming from the taxes of actual working people, to do basically nothing. They need to consolidate these towns, lower the number of officers, and start lowering some property taxes.

Every cop in NJ I know says they’ll move elsewhere out of state because the taxes are so damn high.

There’s a tenants rights organization in nj. Njto11@verizon.net

AN AVERAGE PERSON THAT OWNS ONE HOUSE ISNT RENTING OUT THAT HOUSE

and yet their stans will still describe them all as "working class"

Nice job taking the high road. Make a bunch of assumptions, and hit the road. Nice strategy.

how many times do I have to repeat myself? I’m starting to sound like a broken record. An average person who owns one house

sigh this is not wrong but just another point as to why the pension and benefits for all public employees are grossly broken

To answer your first point, good. You're obviously the type of person that would not be a good landlord. The tax works.

To your second point, I clearly used $1,000 as an example. So if your actual costs were $3,000, maybe $3,600 would be fair.

I'm going to stop responding because I get the real feeling that you're not interested in actually considering solutions to this crisis, but simply want to justify your own greedy thoughts. Take care friend.

You think anyone is purchasing an additional home and leasing it out just for fun??

You don’t think that those people are doing it to earn extra money?

i knew police made bank in NJ but didnt know exactly how much. Ye thats crazy.

Paying OT is cheaper than benefits and pension payments.

And utility companies pay most of the OT. Pseg etc

i wouldnt rent out part of my house for a measly $200 thats just me. Its not worth my time or the hassle.

and pls explain to me how im making a profit if my mortgage + taxes are 3000$ a month? theres no profit in it, its just being used to cover costs.

Yeah, no shit

See that's why we need massive taxes on massive profits. People will still provide a service for a fair profit, it will just keep people that are greedy out. This idea that business will dry up if people can't become insanely rich is a lie that doesn't play out in any other developed nation with sensible tax laws.

it wont happen cuz at that point its not worth the trouble, and then youre back at square one.

That looks amazing!
