Reply to comment by el_tigrox in Tenants Fight Back As Rents Soar In Jersey City And Hoboken by mad_dog_94

What is this? A pair of comments with actual facts about the city tax abatement program instead of randomly generated nonsense? Mind blown

Human checking in! You can actually look at tax abatement data and information here - it's a couple years old, but will give you a good look at what's out there: https://civicparent.org/2021/07/26/jersey-city-2021-budget-160-abatements-on-citys-books-visualizations-on-abatement-type-value-pilots-and-taxes-if-billed-in-full/

​

So if your building claims that they are raising because taxes went up - double check here to make sure that's true!

The "taxes" excuse is the laziest one the apologists have. For some reason they never seem to explain why landlords in places the taxes didn't go up also raised rents.
