Home prices across New Jersey have been falling

1) no expansion in jobs ( all the good paying jobs are moving to other states)
2) Higher taxes, highest property taxes in the nation

3) New York is slumping as well

Hey, stop voting for higher taxes and the government that wants higher taxes. Just a thought.

I’ve heard that house prices on the east coast can be deceptively low because of the outrageous property tax burden.

So this article is over a year old. I’m guessing it hasn’t gotten any better.

Easier said than done. Without Divine intervention, conservatives in states like New Jersey and Illinois are stuck with high taxes, crooked government, and rigged large city elections.

It isn't as though we haven't tried. Pray.

The state doesn’t control property taxes, the local towns do.

I took off about $500K in assessed value by challenging the assessment on all the properties I owned.

Saved me about 8 grand a year in property taxes

Sure the taxes have gone up since, but no where near the 7 grand, yet.

I know states technically can not go bankrupt, but they can default, stiff their creditors, and stiff their employees and pensioners.

Can’t wait for that to happen to NJ and a few other places.

West Orange residents pay high property taxes because some of the residents want that. It pays for services. They want good public schools.

“Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society”, they say.

I am going to the tax department today. They have a crazy idea that I owe them money when the opposite is true. Can’t wait to see their faces. I’ll take it in 50’s.

Scum froze my debit card too.
Debit card!
That’s just mean.
