I don't consider myself anti-AC, but it's a poor, run-down, crime and drug-infested area.

The boardwalk reflects this.

I have only had a few Atlantic County cases, but I have a friend who does PI and criminal and has an office there. It's rife with criminals, on the street and even in the city government. The mayor got into a fist fight with someone at a casino recently.

Ocean City, either NJ or MD, is the place to go.

By 1983 she was already making money.

Her first apartment just a few years earlier was wheb she squatted in an abandoned building, from what I have read.

Thay's almost criminal and at the same time cool in a strange way.

Hands down the River Palm.

But IMO you have to cross the Hudson for the whole experience.

If he's blasting things from a loudspeaker call the cops.

On the eastern edge of Bergen, it's starting to stick on the roads and is still coming down. If it goes until 6 or 7 AM I can see 4 to 6 inches, absolute max.

And it's supposed to turn to rain tomorrow and be slightly above freezing, then head up to almost 60 by Thursday.

Crazy.

Thing or person?

Thing - nothing that crazy.

Person - how much time do you have?

The Metropolitan is fun.

Then subway down to Chinatown.

You can easily bring that in for less than 200 each. Maybe even less than 200 total, including parking. Us a parking app like Spot Hero or Park Whiz .

Considering I think we have the highest concentration of people per square mile, there's going to be litter.

As a child of the 1970s, it's so much better, it's like night and day. Of course we have miles to go, but we have come very far.

Established tenancies in NJ did not get a 25% increase. That's not correct.

Rents may have risen as people move in and out of market rate apartments. That may have gone up 25%. And many people don't know the law so they don't challenge it. It's an unusual law, to say the least.

That's the law.

The 10% is sort of an "unwritten rule" but it's the yardstick any judge would use.

Only handking several thousand LT cases over the past quarter century from Special Civil to the Appellate Division.

Other than that, no.

JC has very strict rent control but it probably doesn't apply to new construction.

As my response said, unconscionable rent I creases are illegal statewide. First call the rent control office or housing department in JC. If they say your rent is not controlled, then tell your landlord they are violating state law and they should lower the increase.

NJ also has a no eviction without cause statute, so they cannot just decide to evict you for asserting your rights.

NJ has no statewide rent control, some cities and towns do however.

Irrespective of that there is a state statute banning unconscionable rent increases. There is no official number, but 10% seems to be the absolute upper limit.

Sorry, I misread that as the Witcher. My bad.

I remember that story from a few years back. I remember there was a neighbor who had mental problems and a voyeuristic streak or the owners paid too much and only bought it because they wanted to raze the house and subdivide the lot but were denied. So there doesn't seem much mystery about who did it.

I didn't watch the show though but I did hear it was good.

Huh?

A quick Google search shows it's Westfield, which is a pretty nice town IIRC.

I only made the mistake of going to American Dream once, and that was a while ago.

Is your name Dr. Oz by chance?

I think that was taken in Fort Lee and he was charged with compromising the morals of a married woman or something like that.

Joyce Chinese in River Edge (or Oradell?).

Better Business Bureau is not a government agency. It exists so businesses can say they "self police" with usually predictable results.

Yes.

It's crazy (or was) but I have friends in LA (I used to live there) so I hear the stories about crazy prices. West LA is ridiculous. Hancock Park has gone through the roof. Even Mid-Wilshire. Despite apartments being built everywhere. The single house prices are probably higher there. I don't know the condo and rental prices there, but I am sure they're no bargain. Those may actually be higher here, at least for Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn.

$451,000. That's it? Wow.

Three to five times that much by me depending upon the town. It's cheaper to knock them down and build something modern. It's a shame.

That's beautiful.

Great house with or without the Halloween decor. Someone has spent real money keeping it up that well.

Do you know what year it was built?
