Property taxes will always be higher here than in NYC, because NYC makes it up with the city income tax.

Okay, clearly you're dumb, so I'll explain this in simple terms.

There are three factors at work here: Inflation, where everything gets slightly more expensive over time. Development, where Jersey City is improving and becoming significantly more expensive over time due to increases in demand. COVID, which drove the market out of whack but is a temporary effect that was wearing off in multiple ways throughout 2022 and has now mostly worn off.

The reason that OP's rent increased by 10% each year for the past two is that last year, it was still recovering from the temporary COVID effect. The reason that it's 10% higher than before COVID is that the long-term effects still apply. They are totally different subjects.

Was there a point to this comment? Like, should it be surprising that rents have risen from 2019 to 2023?

Like, do people actually not understand the massive discounts that were being offered in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID? Rents were obviously going to normalize when the world went back to normal, people.

A few weeks ago, he was interviewed after a Devils win (I think it was a Sunday afternoon game), and he said he was going to get hibachi after the game because his wife wanted it, and it was just across the street. A couple hours later, he posted a clip to his Instagram that was clearly from Teppan.

Oh no, hopefully it doesn't negatively affect Vitek Vanecek's play ahead of the playoffs.

>sidewalks aren't for cars

Exactly, they're for motorized scooters and bicycles going 20+mph when there's a fucking bike lane two feet to the side.

Whenever someone pulls bullshit with me, like almost hitting me at an intersection (thankfully, none of them have subsequently threatened me, although I have been "tapped" once on a run) is just to immediately take my phone out and take pictures of the person and the license plate. That turns them apologetic really quickly.

I don't run red lights on moving vehicles, so the situation wouldn't happen to me. She went to court and lost her license for a year, seems like exactly what I would expect to happen.

When and if that more comes to light, feel free to bring it up. Hold politicians to account, it's a good thing to do. But the idea that this incident is worth the ridiculous obsession is just fucking pathetic.

There's no fucking coverup. She committed a moving violation. She went to court. She got a suspended license from the judge. It's fucking over. I won't vote for her if she ever shows up on my ballot, but this obsession is as unhealthy as Twitter's obsession with the stupid fucking Harry Potter game.

What, the crypto scams aren't doing it for you anymore? Haven't been having success with your scummy pump-and-dumps?

Don't punctuate.

Who the fuck cares. She hit some fucking loser who was running the light. The loser got what he deserved (getting hit by a car). She got what she deserved (loss of license for a year). Justice has been served.

It's you, hi, they're the problem it's you.

Ondo is a way better restaurant than Domo Domo. It's almost like a restaurant group run by two Korean dudes is better at making Korean food than Sushi.

Well, unfortunately for you, I don't just give money away. So if you have skills, services, or goods that are worth $150 to me, then you may be able to earn $150 from me, but otherwise, kindly go away.

I'm not Walmart, try there.

My cleaning lady gets $150 for 4-5 hours of work, so you can feel free to try that hustle instead.

It's $150. You two are 16 and 17, not 6 and 7. Get a part time job and you two will make that in a week.

Sure, what he and your mom did was shitty, and you're entirely within your rights to hold them responsible and try and get it back. But, in the grand scheme of things, it's a tiny amount of money.

Only if you're saying that Domo Domo isn't close to sushi. It isn't. The rice is so completely underseasoned that it's much closer to kimbap than sushi.

All you need to do to avoid the PATH is... go to the fucking PABT?

That's like saying all you need to do to avoid Tylenol is to use fentanyl instead!

No, it can use a $240/mo Equinox to actually reflect the people who live there.

Correct. The fact that there isn't a single Equinox in DTJC is a fucking joke.

The idea that we pay our legislators less than a first-year law associate explains quite a lot about how fucking dysfunctional our state and federal governments are.

It's possible that previous recent months were estimated reads and this is an actual read.
