Lemme get this straight. Olivia Newton John was taken from us, but American Dream (?!!) is still here. And you want to know why nobody goes to church anymore

You can like something and still admit it's garbagte. Thats ok, we're not judging you.
Example: I watched The Walking Dead to the end. Pure garbage. And thats ok.

You are right! I left out $50K from that quick and dirty write up!
The towns pay a matching 10%of the salary to PFRS, so to make the numbers easy 100K a year the town actually pays $110K for that person and the individual also pays 10% of the $100 into the PFRS pension fund meaning their taxable income is $90K as it is a pre tax deduction. Once they retire the town doesn't pay anymore for thay individual, but then only pays 10% of the new $50 salary, so thay is why "pension buy backs" where incentives for people to retire early are given as it is a more expensive payment for senior members than newer members.
It's okay to be mad about what they make, just make sure to be informed mad!
Or you know possibly get mad at the system that is grossly underpaying you. Unionize! Take the power away from the rich!

With that said then Rockaway is better school district for not much more, Jefferson has a similar cost and school but you get more for your dollar, succasunna/minehill but minehill I think goes to Dover schools while suc does Roxbury

All of route 1&9 in North Jersey is bad. But the Tonnelle Ave portion through Hudson county is the worst. It's a fucking death trap. Every week it feels like either a pedestrian gets hit or somebody flips their car.

The fact you failed to mention pensions just proves you have a blue lives matter flag sticker on your car.

I just had to honk at some idiot who was guilty of this. I was even extra patient giving him an extra two entire seconds before I'm the one who starts looking like an idiot for not honking.
Stay home and swipe up on your cell. One car usually turns left and it's only you because your an idiot.

He actually doesn't mind as he might leave his job. We decided together it's not the highest priority. The reason we're considering Dover is because it is close to our folks not the other way around actually

Yeah we suspected. My partner was excited about the prices so I reached out for due diligence. It's a more humble neighborhood from what we can tell and we like diversity so these things were attractive to us. Knowing it's lower priced without understanding what exact factors contribute makes it hard to parse through. Like schools are important to us so it's definitely a factor. Safety and quality of life are as well.

You can dislike something without it being shit. It's not.

I appreciate that! We actually are looking in Rockaway but were wondering if Dover was also a good candidate. The other factor is that the more West we go, the farther we are from our folks. We're actually focusing in on central Morris county I think for the most part. Thanks for the input!

My partner does a few times a week. It's not the highest priority but a consideration. This location is also closer to our folks. Thanks for the input. Is it the schools?

The film shooting or the fact Gotham is above AC?
