From NorthJersey.com:
These New Jersey towns have the lowest home prices within 30 minutes of New York City
In a new study from PropertyShark, the real estate data provider found the 13 communities with the lowest home prices within a half-hour drive of lower Manhattan. Each of these locations had median home prices that were less than the metro area’s median sale price of $441 per square foot.
Of the 13 communities, 10 are in North Jersey.
Newark was named the most affordable location. With a median home size of 2,010 square feet, this Essex County city has a median price of $228 per square foot.
The Hudson County city of Bayonne has the second lowest home prices on the list. Also with a median home size of 2,010 square feet, homes have a median price of $286 per square foot.
Six other Hudson County communities made this list: Guttenberg, Kearny, Secaucus, Union City, North Bergen and West New York. The other two North Jersey locations are in Bergen County: Lyndhurst and Rutherford.
The other New York metropolitan areas on the list are The Bronx, Union County and Staten Island.
Other North Jersey communities in the metropolitan area that have the lowest home prices in the region — though not necessarily within 30 minutes of the city — include Wantage, Hardyston, Vernon, Sparta, Wanaque, West Milford, Hopatcong and Ringwood.

I’ve been telling my younger colleagues for years to look at a few train towns away from Hoboken to live. It drove me nuts that they insisted on living in Hoboken, Manhattan and Williamsburg dishing out ridiculous rent money while a 15 train ride would save them a small bundle.
Fast
But then they couldn’t keep partying like they did in college.
They call this place Hoboken Point…It’s in Weehawken.
502 sq ft Studio is $3,300 a month, 1 BR runs as high as $6400 a month. 2 BR is $8000 a month…

Ed- re: “living in Hoboken, Manhattan and Williamsburg”. If you are a 20 or 30 something single you need to be out mingling at least five nights a week. You don’t feel like part of the community if you have to drive or take the train in every few days. Much easier to head downstairs to the local pub for a few with friends.
Juice,
I get the “being part of the scene” part but it just drove me nuts. That Hoboken point rental is suicide!
I just looked. 1 bd/1bth – minimum – $4,160.
Madness.
What’s the npv of a mid six figure spouse?
I’d look at the rental cost in the context of marriage prospects.
Bayonne is not going to yield much in the way of 6 foot blue eyed trust funded in finance husband potential.
Grim – I lost track of how many hot smoking women I met while living in Manhattan and Hoboken back in the day. Countless Bridge and Tunnel bridge babes looking to score a guy like me. It was really an endless parade of all kinds of dolled up women, looking for the right guy to give them the suburban dream. It really is tough being blue eyed and just shy of six foot…you can even get shoes that make you six foot one too lol…
the women I worked with in nyc who lived in Hoboken were drunks and superficial.
The stuff of Bill Burr’s nightmares.
My younger brother who is just as good looking as me was a townie. He rarely left his home turf and ended up marrying a girl he went to high school with. Every now and then I would have him and a few of his friends over for a night of fun. They would crash at my place and we would go out on the town. They really could not understand the nightlife of NYC, they were just uncomfortable and out of their element, like riding the subway at night for example just afraid…
So Bruce and E-Street did not sing Glory Days last night and the See Hear Now in Asbury?

Did Bruce go 3 hours straight? I’m sure he made all the younger performers look lazy.
Beer- re: “the women I worked with in nyc who lived in Hoboken were drunks and superficial.”
Ah the days before Facebook and Twitter…..The crew I ran with back then in Hoboken started a local website. Every night we went out we took our Cannon Powershot 3.2 megapixel cameras. All week long we would take drunk selfies with those women and post them on the website with snarky comments. A few of them even had lawyers send cease and desist letters and countless angry emails and sometimes heated arguments in the street about taking photos in public places….. Those were the days….
Bruce was scheduled for three hours 7:30 PM till closing at 10:30 PM. He did that and several songs with another band before that and was at the Stony Pony Saturday night as well.

Were they all trolling for a bond trader or similar income level while living on credit cards?
Love that he played with Gaslight Anthem

So why didn’t he go? Instead he does this because he doesn’t want funding to Ukraine to stop?
Suspect Had Said He Was Willing to Fight and Die in Ukraine
The man now in custody, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was interviewed by The Times in 2023 for an article about Americans volunteering to aid Ukraine.

The government greatly increased a grant to encourage more immigrants to return home.
Hehe.
Just wait till all the immigrants undercut their prices in trade work.
Well, they may not make much, their backs might hurt, but hey, at least they ain’t in debt from paying Boomer run college extortion cash.

Phoenix – Foreign legion is not what it seems. Ukraine only takes in trained foreign soldiers preferrable young ones. He is a middle aged larper, 58 years old. They also make you sign a three year contract. If you are a former soldier they give you 1–2 weeks of training and hand you a rifle and off you go to the trenches etc.
NY Times did an investigation last year. They said there were only about 1,500 foreign volunteers fighting. Apparently lots of stolen valor, fraudsters and others. Malcolm Nance, former US Navy and MSNBC commentator went Ukraine and joined he tired to bring order and discipline to the Foregin Legion. Instead, he became enmeshed in the chaos that is happening and actually accused the Ukrainian commanders of fraud stealing money etc from fundraising.
A shortage of skilled tradespeople, due to experienced workers aging out of the field, is also boosting the number of job opportunities and pay.
So, you’re telling me that the boomers who busted their asses lying on bed of fiberglass in a 135 degree attic installing an air handler is aging out? The same guy who stuck his arm in 5,000 stink pipes to complete a plumbing job? The same boomers who mixed 12,000 yards of concrete by hand? Only to be replaced by glass-touching metro-sexuals? Oooo… I gotta see this. Should we give the boomer the s0cial security check or euthanize the experienced worker?

Greedy Bas turd s.
Come here begging for my money from my check in my country. Then decline free help because they don’t like them cause they feel they aren’t good enough?
I met an able bodied Ukrainian in California, living the good life. Why not on the first flight to his “homeland?”
Hypocrites, parasites. Take care of yourself before begging for assistance.
Eddie,
Don’t worry about those Boomers. They all have emphysema from breathing in the asbestos and fiberglass in the attics, and the silica from the cement.
Their wives will outlast them by at least 10 years. They will be grateful that they will no longer have to struggle to breathe, nor hear the constant droning and nagging from their spouses that can’t wait for them to die anyway.
Only to be replaced by glass-touching metro-sexuals?
Today’s feminists love these types of men. They don’t get angry, they willingly go for pedicures, manicures, manscaping, and they don’t have a problem with allowing her to handle the finances where his checks can be diverted into her separate bank account.
Plus they don’t mind if she has the occasional romp with the guy she meets at the gym.

LOL. And that’s how they looked like too.
They mostly talked about drinking. Some of them even went to London and Paris. And all they did was get drunk and then sleep to noon the whole time they were there.
Phoenix – Zelensky is out there fundraising again. Wants allot more this time armored vehicles. He now says half his brigades in the east are not properly equipped, no armored vehicles etc. 3,000-5,000 in a brigade. They need thousands of armored vehicles, tanks etc, old fashioned mechanized infantry army to push forward and take back the land by crossing trenches and minefields etc. Ukraine started the war with 892 tanks and a bunch of Soviet-era BMP-2 armored personnel carriers. Most of those were probably destroyed?
US alone have given them about 2,000 Humvees and 300 M113 tracked armored personnel carriers but only 31 Tanks… Allot of that is probably gone now too.
Early returns suggest the boy is choosing Tigers. He has liked the color orange since he was 5.
Phoenix,
Who needs chemical castration when we have pedicured cumala males milling about?
“Two retired New York City Fire Department fire chiefs were arrested by the feds early Monday for allegedly accepting more than $190,000 in bribes to allegedly help fast-track safety inspections and reviews, officials said.”
two-year scheme from 2021 to 2023, bribes involved roughly 30 different projects across NYC.
They must have retired as soon as they found out they were under investigation.
Dude was published on Amazon calling for Trump’s death….
Alleged would-be Donald Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh wrote a rambling book last year urging Iran to kill the former president.
“You are free to assassinate Trump,” Routh ranted in his self-published missive as wrote of the “tremendous blunder” of leaving the Iran nuclear deal.
He also described Trump as a “fool” and “buffoon” for the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots.
Elsewhere, Routh penned that he’d voted for Trump in 2016 but must take part of the blame for the “child that we elected for our next president that ended up being brainless.”
The book, which appears on Amazon without a publisher, is titled “Ukraine’s Unwinnable War: The Fatal Flaw of Democracy, World Abandonment and the Global Citizen-Taiwan, Afghanistan, North Korea and the end of Humanity.”
People were swarming everywhere outside the festival listening to the concert last night. I was just happy not to be working it, been there done that.

Phoenix,
My wife and I were on two Holland America cruises last year in South America. I saw five or six men from Ukraine of military age on both ships. No telling how many were working there that I didn’t see. Very disappointed that my tax dollars are funding a war and many in their own country are not fighting.
Chad
I’d bet they aren’t being taxed by their country for their own war, but i am being taxed for a war that has nothing to do with me.
2:31 You are getting taxed for a lot of things that don’t have anything to “do with you” you idiot. That’s the idea of taxes.
Another wicked witch, cackling mess with a new Cajun accent. What’s up with this girl?

LAX,
I think the point is that the majority of Americans do not support giving Ukraine more of our tax dollars. Also lighten up. You shouldn’t call someone an idiot just because you don’t agree with their opinion.
5:37 fuck off Chud
your tax dollars aren’t going there. The dollars are being printed and sent there. Your taxes have not fully funded the government in a long long time.
