That seems in the ballpark for last month. Lots of warm days, but few very very cold days where your heat probably ran constantly. The rest of the variance depends on bunch of other factors as people here have pointed out. (apartment/home? Corner unit? Lots of windows? heat pump/resistance heat? temperature on thermostat? etc. etc. etc.)

Phil Murphy is thinking too small.

We should just raze down the whole of Jersey City, and make it into a giant parking lot for cars going into NYC.

That should fix things.

Buy Nothing group on Facebook. I think the bed frame will go easily. The mattress/boxspring is trickier because people are worried about bedbugs, but there might still be takers.

Oh cool, which brand of nuclear do you suggest for my rooftop?

But now they're taking the benefit of local schools and roads, but not paying their fair share for them.

And... this is why my property taxes are going up. I'm subsidizing a 2.5m home.

Maybe something like this? https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Recessed-Lighting-Recessed-Lighting-Trims/Junction-Box-Compatible/N-5yc1vZc7orZ1z1ae5g

I added recessed lighting to the condo that I owned a few years ago, when that was the look everyone wanted.

Recessed lighting comes with tradeoffs. Yes you get less wires lying around, and you can put them anywhere as long as you can run the wires in the ceiling... but the recessed lighting also acts as areas from where heat escapes, and potentially noise.

If I had to do it today, I would use one of those LED things that look like recessed lighting but are not.

It's really bad, but it's on the property taxes only. So 20% on the entire rent might still be more than required to cover just the taxes.

For math, the apartment I own and live in rents for around $2700. A 20% increase in the rent is about $6500 in extra yearly revenue. The increase in property taxes work out to be around $3000 increase.

So, the landlord made a strategic mistake by giving this as the reason. Because you can now look up the numbers yourself on the JC property website and get back to them saying that the property tax increase is only so-and-so. You'll get a bit of bargaining power.

Who the fuck eats at the Ashford anyway?

It's been a while since I've eaten at Wonder Bagel, but when I lived in DTJC (now in JSQ), I absolutely loved Wonder Bagel and would eat there once or twice a week. But, you need to make sure you a bagel that's recently out of the oven. If you get a stale bagel, it'll be bleh. If you get your bagel toasted, that's your fault and on you.

I was particularly a fan of their whole wheat bagels. Chewy deliciousness.

I have no idea how it's these days though.

As I mentioned in another comment, heat generated in a wire is a function of amperage not power being transferred. That's how high-voltage power lines can transfer energy to power entire cities.
