I think they use the ACS database. It stands for American Community Survey, which is conducted by the Census Bureau. They survey 3.5 million ppl every year via mail, phone and/or in-person interviews.

Not saying this is the reason, but as somebody who lived in one of of the counties with an outflow, I've got a lot better things to do with my time than answer survey questions. Mail in...either is in the trash or lost on my desk. Phone...if you don't show up as a contact, I don't answer. In-person...get off my porch!

The commute is so easy to NYC though, that I wouldn't consider this much of an issue. Not many places you can live where you are closer to more jobs within a 30-40 min commute than Newark, other than living in NYC.

Touche

I’ve heard the switching providers thing and that it’s a scam to get your bank info. By showing them the invoice, you’ve provided them the account number, account holder name, address, amount due, and potentially a previous payment amount. When they ask for your contact info, you give your email and cell number. All of this can be used to hack/call customer service and gain access to your account and bank info. It’s a sick and twisted scheme that seems so innocent.

I had a great experience at Carmine's in Tropicana.

I have a house for rent in Edison soon. Amboy avenue area. Really close to several highways.

It's getting renovated so I'll price it out and it'll be ready summer time.

Did you call the police?

You are running under the assumption that politicians fix problems. Politicians are mostly all obstructionists. That joke that the opposite of Progress is Congress is less and less a joke and more and more the reality.

What in the actual fuck dude...

It's got just about equal crime to someplace like Houston, or Atlanta.

There are plenty of parts of the city that are nice, and some that are not.

Now, see, this is the context that's missing here.

The days of dirt cheap living in Florida are certainly gone, but same can be said about most of the country.

> Never open the door for anyone who isn’t your local police.

Don't open the door for the police unless you called them. If I didn't call them, then we're talking through a closed door.

Just curious, how did you know that the ID cards were incorrect? And did you see their vehicle? Any description of their car might help. Thanks

must be by location, i've heard some horror stories but haven't checked every single town

​

when i was in the army I visited a few states and met a bunch of people from around the country and a lot of places outside the northeast are pretty good to live in. many of the places I visit now have a bunch of good ethnic food too

That's what I was thinking when they said they wanted to check my bathroom ? For some reason we declined and didn't let them, it was odd

They don't usually knock on the door. They just go read it.

Only reason to knock on the door would be if you have the meter inside the house, which is grandfathered in until you replace the MDP and then have to relocate outside.

It’s really not that bad. Family just purchased a new build in FL, $5k for homeowners and flood ins. Which sounds high compared to NJ rates but their $2k a year property taxes certainly make up for it. Other family has an older home on the other coast and pays about the same amount, and even less in property tax.

No, I'm saying 9/11 was Bush's fault because his vice president orchestrated it.

Edit: more seriously, if politicians aren't ready to fix problems that may have existed since before they got there, why vote for them?

Anything is better than geico lmao, talk about bottom of the barrel. Geico has priced themselves out of the market and now their clients are going to pay for it because their growth is not enough to cover their losses, so premiums will skyrocket over the next few years. Not to mention geico is infamous in the insurance industry for shady practices and screwing people over. NJM is a great company, but imo travelers is probably the best in the market right now if you're looking at price and quality together.

You must provide more info.

I have a quarter acre, essentially nothing, and I pay $40 per mow, and mows go from April til November. It's all going to depend on where you are and the size of your property.

I loved that place

That makes sense. So… about those properties. 😁

Essex, Passaic, and Bergen.

What a shock. People moved out of the most dense counties in the country during and after a pandemic.
