Reply to What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen in Atlantic City by nightwing2009

Two old hotels on fire on the same night back when gambling was first made legal. (How EVER could that happen?) My uncle was Chief of AC FD and we were visiting from North Jersey. It was pretty late, and we drove down that way from Absecon after the call came across on the emergency transmitter he had set up in their kitchen. Never have seen anything like that anywhere.

Reply to Sparta by Bluegreenmountain

What do you mean by trajectory, OP? I lived in Sparta as a kid, and moved back 5 years ago. Sure, there is more traffic and there are more stores and even some 'affordable housing' now. But, the overall character has been preserved; it's still a wonderful place to live, surrounded by natural beauty and interesting architecture, with endless opportunities for recreation.

Reply to comment by peter-doubt in New Jersey’s notorious property-tax bills went up once again last year, growing on average by more than $200 or more than 2%, according to the latest data from the state; the increase pushed the average New Jersey property-tax bill to a record-high $9,490 in 2022 by rollotomasi07071

Yeah, if you took out a mortgage right now sure. Not if you took one out or refinanced in the last two years. Do you think maintenance and mortgage isn't added to what renter's pay plus more?

Reply to comment by Evening_Attention_45 in No Mental Health Coverage with Marketplace by Evening_Attention_45

That’s very strange to me, when I joined BCBS I wasn’t even given the option to not accept omnia, and most therapists I know who take BCBS accept omnia plans as well. I have several clients with marketplace plans.

Edit to add: omnia is a type of plan through horizon BCBS, and it’s also not exclusive to the markets place. Lots of employers offer omnia plans in nj.

Seriously, that would be such a nice reduction versus what I’m paying now.

And the thing is I don’t live in a super high-cost house, or even that well-off a neighborhood. I bought a house I could afford in a nice area with good schools for a family, and I’m paying a lot for it.

If incorporating my doughnut hole sized town into the doughnut we already share a school system with means lower taxes, let’s get merging.

Add a mortgage to the taxes.. you easily double, probably triple and possibly quadruple that in NJ.. now add maintenance
