Each town has a rate, for example mine is 2.24.

I don't own, but I agree..after a yr in northern NJ, I want to go back to PA or further south. Paying $1350 on a 850sq ft. 1 br. apt. which is clean and in a good town, but I could get a 2br. luxury apt. in a nice community in PA for $900/mth. and salaries aren't that much diff. down there. Unfortunately, once you're up here it's hard to break into jobs in the south bc salaries are generally higher and, shit like car pmts, student loan pmts etc don't lessen just bc you move. Basically only save on rent

ihyln · 07-21-2008, 09:29 PM

My buddy who moved into the same time a year after me was paying $8100, now it's $9800. Utterly ridiculous. Nutley isn't Short Hills, Franklin Lakes, or any other ritzy town. Whoever made this decision is a jackass and I'll let them know about it.

How about the fact taht I cant park in front of my girls apartment anymore?

Stupid Cliffside Park just axed like 6 spots right out front of the place.

So now I gotta park down the block where I cant see my car....and so far that front plate has saved my bumper 3 times already (the back was not so fortunate...I got a few screw marks in the bumper, and that person paid dearly by coming out the following morning to 4 flat tires, and no needle valves in the valvestems or caps...)

Not to mention New Life Missionary Church opened up in the warehouse across the street...now parking is jammed wednesday , friday, saturday and sunday....for a bunch of Jehovah Witnesses....wtf.

THey need to stop with their rap/gospel mix too...its so loud I can hear it through the windows.

Already checked....spots 1 and 6 are available..but the pidgeon shit from the rafters comes down in the middle of those two spots.

Definetly NOT parking the BMW...either one for that matter...in that spot..unless I build a tent or something lol.

I think there is one more free..I have to check again. And she aint gonna buy me anything for that place unless I start payin my share of the bills lol

not a problem anymore because you have the e30 now.

Sleekride · 07-24-2008, 08:15 PM

I'm in the same boat as you. My property taxes just went up + $4,000 for this coming year alone. If your town reassessed in the last year or so then you got the shaft much like I did. Freaking ridiculous.

My taxes in Lodi were 12.4 before I bought the property. Previous owner got re-assessed and dropped it to 9350...
we'll see what the new upcoming year brings me w/ taxes and a new mortgage increase

The cost of living in a town with good school districts, although it's still nowhere as bad as what you pay in Westchester. I'm looking at homes these days and it's a tough choice, move into a good school district now (anticipating the need for it) or go somewhere with lower taxes now and move later (but get hit with higher borrowing cost & home prices).

ruslik · 01-16-2013, 07:29 PM

yea try to sell a house and move out from jersey. u got to pay capital gain tax too. you are fucked either way. im thinking south carolina is a good place to go

Someone has to pay for Gov.Christie's helicopter ride so he could attend his kid sporting event.
