If the criteria to pass the test is “as good as drivers in jersey city”, then you’re free to run stop signs, red lights, you name it, there are no rules.

Yes this works. For one reason or another I ended up with 10 metro cards that had less than a fare’s balance. I added exactly as much as I need to get a single fare and it worked. Just choose “other amount” on the machine when it prompts you for how much money you would like to add

The property tax increases this year were unprecedented and contributed a lot to what you are seeing. Yes, there will always be landlords looking to bring their units in-line or just under the market rate for the brand new units in the city. But a lot of families that have owned for a long time (since the 90’s), who had their properties reevaluated in 2019 (probably had their taxes tripled then), and then got hit with the 30% increase in October are forced to either sell or increase rent to continue living here.
