Sustainable housing recovery evident: Home prices in many states rose steadily through year
A measure of U.S. home prices jumped 5 percent in September compared to a year ago, the largest year-over-year increase since July 2006. The gain reported by CoreLogic offered more evidence of a sustainable housing recovery.
The real-estate data provider also said Tuesday that prices declined 0.3 percent in September from August, the first drop after six straight increases. The monthly figures are not seasonally adjusted. CoreLogic said the monthly decline reflects the end of the summer homebuying season and not a softening in the housing recovery.
Steady price increases should give the housing market more momentum when home sales pick up during the spring. Rising prices encourage more homeowners to sell their homes and entice would-be buyers to purchase homes before prices rise further.
Other measures have also shown healthy gains in home prices in the past year. The Standard & Poor’s/Case Shiller 20-city index rose 2 percent in August compared to a year ago, a faster pace than the previous month.
The price gains in the past year reported by CoreLogic were widespread. Prices have risen in all but seven states. And they declined in only 18 out of 100 large cities that are tracked by the index.

Many Jersey shore homes damaged by Sandy not eligible for FEMA assistance
Thousands of Jersey shore homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, but not all will be eligible for FEMA assistance, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie revealed today (Tuesday). Many of the properties in the towns along the Jersey shore from Seaside Heights, Lavallette, Ortley and many others – are vacation homes and won’t be eligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency aid. “It’s a hierarchy of need,” “FEMA administrator Craig Fugate said at a press conference. “Generally, vacation homes and other homes would not qualify for FEMA grants
The good news for owners who don’t live in their Jersey shore homes full time is there are other assistance programs available. “Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loans would be available,” Fugate said. The SBA website states disaster loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace disaster damaged or destroyed real estate. In addition, homeowners and renters are eligible for up to $40,000 to repair or replace disaster damaged or destroyed personal property. “The U.S. Small Business Administration is strongly committed to providing the people of New Jersey with the most effective and customer-focused response possible to assist homeowners, renters, and businesses with federal disaster loans. Getting businesses and communities up and running after a disaster is our highest priority at SBA.”

Over and out, kids. Good luck.
Did you get power back Grim?
No power, most recent JCP&L work sheet doesn’t have them coming back to town until the 10th or something, and their published recovery numbers for that day are only a fraction of the customers without power. Probably a load of crap anyway, since it was published pre-nor’easter.
Where are you JCP&L?

How much does one charge a dad who wants to rent a spot in my parking lot for his kid to drive to high school? Dad came to me before the storm with some sob story about how his kid lost his parking privileges and could he park in my lot, he would pay me.
Up folks new thread, our new dad is awake.
And I thought waking up in the morning after a night of heavy drinking was difficult.
[2]Fast Eddie,
Great line. Unfortunately, it won’t register, they are much too busy suckling government milk
How much does one charge a dad who wants to rent a spot in my parking lot for his kid to drive to high school?
Zero – If they kid lost parking, he lost it for a reason. It’s bad enough the father is attempting to pay his way out of whatever the issue was, so if you were to accept it, and allow him to park, you’d pretty much be the sole reason for the continued downfall of our nation. Oh yeah, and the sob story, it’s a lie.
Predicatbly the morons in the republican party were whining that Romney was not Socon enough. if they drop the religous right, actually become fiscally conservative, and become the party of liberty they may become relvant again. Other wise all they are doing is grabbing an increasingly smaller demographic.
Personally, you may see an upswell of state populaces trying to change how they award elctoral college votes to a proportional system by congressional district. If you look at FL, OH and PA the majority of those states are red with cities being the only blue blips. I think the electoral college should stay as is but within the next few days you will hear rumblings of it.
Proudly voted for neither and my shadenfreude was focused on fox last night though I would have preferred watching Matthew cry over Black Jesus.
From Reuters:
Mortgage applications down as Sandy hit Northeast: MBA
The Mortgage Bankers Association said its seasonally adjusted index of mortgage application activity fell 5 percent in the week ended November 2.
The group’s seasonally adjusted index of refinancing applications and its index for loan requests for home purchases both dropped about 5 percent as well.
The storm had “a significant impact on application volumes in the East” said Mike Fratantoni, MBA’s vice president of research and economics, in a statement.
Fratantoni said that applications fell more than 60 percent in New Jersey, nearly 50 percent in New York and almost 40 percent in Connecticut, with other nearby states seeing smaller declines.

Expat “With or without lunch-time pot smoking privileges ?” LOL well of course it is “high” school, when asked I tell people I went to No. Bergen “High”, no school. The seventies where interesting to say the least. Now where did I put my elephant bells & platform shoes……………………..
That sucks Grim. Sorry to hear you’re not up and running yet. I know it doesn’t make you feel any better but my experience with JCP&L has always been different. I called once for a tree on a line and the guy was there with a cherry picker in less than an hour. Our power rarely goes out and if it does, I call it in and it’s never out for more than a few hours (Sandy was the exception). It probably helps that there’s a JCP&L building right in town with a parking lot full of trucks.
I will say though, that while I was waiting on line at 4:30AM at Home Depot last Thursday for a generator, I met a former JCP&L employee two or three spots behind me. He said “consider the fact that I’m in line for a generator my vote of confidence in JCP&L”. He went on to say that a lot of people left after they were swallowed up by First Energy. He points to that merger as the beginning of the down hill slide for JCP&L.

Cablevision is up!!
I voted Libertarian. First time in four presidential election cycles I actually felt good after voting. Plus all the political machine candidates in Hoboken appear to have lost. No more Hoboken Board of Ed no-show jobs/no-bid contracts for all the connected Tony Spumoni’s and Sherri Shamrock’s in town.
Spoke to a lady yesterday forget the name of her town, told before Thanksgiving!
I was like No, yes she said that is what they told us.
Sorry about the power Grim. I was flooded in from last Monday night until Thursday morning at my building in Hoboken. Got power back this Monday afternoon. Feel sorry for those who have it worse. Have a lot of nice pictures though.
[5] gryff,
Get what the market will bear. At least they won’t easily redistribute that anytime soon.
Sh1t, I put a deposit down on a Seaside Park rental for next summer already. Thought I was being smart and booking it early.
It was on the bayside….I guess there’s a chance it’s still standing. I wonder if I’ll be able to go or if I should just ask the lady for my deposit back.
[21] SX
Does this election mean we see Liberal SX more than the other SX’s? Hey, I saw your guy Grayson carpetbagged his way back onto the Hill.
grim 3-6 no problem up here we get antsy when they start taking feet. All a matter of what you get used to, one winter I woke up to 2-3 in 2 to three times a week for a month. That is with some big ones in between. That house was really high up though, drive down to main road (miles not blocks away) nothing or rain.
[33] Brian,
I told the wife we had to book now for OC-MD as demand would be pushed out from the shore. We were going to book with another couple but they said money trouble so they did not know if they were in.
Only problem is that week in question may be after school starts here (PA starts earlier than NJ). Gonna have to check. May not be a beach vacation this year at all.
HEHEHE “I voted Libertarian. First time in four presidential election cycles I actually felt good after voting.”
Ditto!
Brian get your money back , no board walk so you can go to any beach. There are nicer beaches.
If Romney had stayed pro-choice, he probably could have won the election. But then he couldn’t have won the Republican nomination. Republicans need to stop pandering to old, less educated, religious people and turn more libertarian. The young generation is socially liberal, and not still in the dark ages. If they ever grow up and start working to support themselves, they may even come to understand that there’s no such thing as “free government stuff”. This was an election where fiscal responsibility could have beaten granola rain forests, but looks like women stayed away from Romney in part because he and his running mate and a few older guys in the midwest think the government should tell a woman that she must give birth to unwanted babies. A few more % of women and Romeny would have won it. Too bad for him he flipped when he should have flopped, but that’s life for a pragmatist politician.
Sorry about the cable vision now you have to watch the media fall all over “O”.
I mentioned yesterday that it was a good day to sell equities. If you did you now have that cash to average back in when (or if) the slide resumes. I only sold in retirement accounts, so no tax consequences.

“Following a presidential election, the stock market usually renders a swift verdict on the winner. The trouble is, the market’s decision is often overturned on appeal in the weeks and months to come.
Economic forces and unforeseen events soon take over, rendering those hasty bets based on the final Electoral College tally little better than a coin flip.
Over the past 14 presidential races, the stock market rallied on the Wednesday following Election Day six times and declined eight. In those six years when the market responded to the upside, stocks continued higher for the subsequent week every time, according to a study by http://www.SentimenTrader.com.
The other eight years, the market’s negative response persisted over the following week six times, a pronounced record of weakness given stocks’ general historical tendency to rise in any given week.”
[41] when (or if) the slide reverses, not resumes.
Final Parting Tax Shot for the Day:
“To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, —the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, & the fruits acquired by it”
Thomas Jefferson.
Yeah Grim, I’m sorry to hear that your cable works.
Now that the election is over, 2012 seems like a good time to harvest capital gains, as taxes are likely going higher in 2013. Anybody with money on the line should have been watching Nate Silver’s fivethirtyeight.com, which has long been predicting an Obama win using pretty robust statistical methods. If anything, election night may have been slightly closer than expected in the swing states. I wonder if this will turn around the momentum stocks in December.

Ouch, tough crowd! I agree, when I was in high school, I was extremely diligent, believed in our country and government and believed in the value of hard work. I would have been angry if the degenerates I went to school with had their daddies paying for parking spots while I had to take the big yellow bus. But as I grew older, I saw that people with daddies who have money and power get things like presidential nominations or even become president themselves. So these days, I could care less about the morals involved because morals don’t get me very far in life anymore. Holding on to my morals usually results in someone taking advantage of me so why bother.
If dad had come to me and said his kid couldn’t get a spot because he is an underclassmen and needs the car to get to Montclair state where he takes advanced calculus, would you feel differently?
51 – At least price in the liability you are knowingly and willingly accepting by renting the spot out. For example, kid decides to drink a handle of Wolfschmidt with his friends, they crash into my car. I will be suing you.
Gryff no still would have charged him a premium. Since your hubby likes very nice things charge him what the market will bear. Include penalties for times when he is not supposed to be in the spot. Tell hubby that is his clothes money so it is his responsibility to manage it or you dedcut from proceeds everytime you are inconvenienced.
Democracy is two wolves arguing with a sheep over what is for dinner.
grff 51 , rent the spot take the cash. Maybe the kid had a fist fight with some dirt bag who said something dirty to a girl he knew in front of him. Happen to my son years ago wasn’t much of a fight one punch kid hit the ground cold. Suspended for a week no parking for a month, I was proud. By the way know the principle followed the letter of the rules but he had no problem with it, we ran into each other over weekend & spoke.
Grim, did you say the gas lines have subsided in Wayne? Guy at work here who lives in Wayne says he can’t come to work today because he can’t find any gasoline.
Maybe he just didn’t want to wait on line?

Cuss away. When you find out that the cleaning lady makes nearly as much as I do and then goes on disability for 9 months every year, while working off the books, you would be whistling a different tune. Our old cleaning lady probably knew more loopholes than Nom.
Ragnar I concur, the republican party has set the last two candidates up for failure. I actually think it was on purpose. 1994 Mitt Romney probably wins this election, last time 2000 era McCain probably wins as well. Parties could care less what the people want. The populous by and large is looking for a government not to get involved in the social issues, the government needs to get out of the way, needs to go on a diet and needs to get focused. I am not opposed to liberal government spending, I am opposed to foolish spending. What business did the government have in investing in solar panel companies, that money that was blown on political payola could have gone a large way toward upgrading our power grid, micro-power generation(grid decentralization, natural gas fuel cells,solar/wind installation,good ole conventional gas turbines), investments in research of fuel cells, NUCLEAR power! The private market could figure out manufacturing of solar panels or electric cars. We need to find the balance of a minimal government that performs it role and does public spending and programs to make our economy more efficient. My problem is liberals want to build the soviet union and libertarians want no government. We need the government to act wisely. As unsexy as it is building nation freight rail saves more energy and eliminates more carbon than wasteful solar cell company investment ever will. Practical things like this that would actually help us are not funded by the government or reformed from their incompetent state. We should heavily tax long haul trucking, it costs us a fortune, the roads, the pollution, and it is largely unnecessary. Taxes need to be fair, they need to be equitable, the people who destroy the roads should pay for it, unfortunately they always pass the buck to the little guy. It is why NY commuters are paying for the WTC construction, $14 for crappy tunnels that were built 80yrs ago is criminal. Just you watch, now that the election is over the federal government isn’t going to be helping NJ with the Sandy damage.
Liberal Essex will be first to complain when Greece occurs here.

That sounds like someone I need to meet. Hell, she'd probably be a damn good real estate investor. Give me her damn number.
53 – Forget hubby’s shopping budget. If I can broker parking spots, I could use the money to get the parking lot repaired. There used to be a girl who parked in the lot last year. She and her friend would get there before I did and leave within 5 minutes of school letting out. The deal would have to be similar – leave as soon as school is out or else I will call the tow truck.
I don’t know what arrangement the landlord had with her. I do know that the police called me and said to quit complaining because the landlord had given her permission to park there. Except I’m not the one who complained so the neighbors are either nosy or jealous.

Sandy and Election Day in Hunterdon County gallery (6 photos)
TRENTON — At first blush it looks like voter turnout in Sandy-ravaged New Jersey may set a record low for a presidential election year.
With 99 percent of the election districts reporting, a total of 3,307,067 New Jerseyans cast ballots in the presidential race.
That’s a shade over 60 percent of the nearly 5.5 million registered voters, far lower than the state’s record low for a presidential year: 70 percent in 2000.
The numbers don’t reflect total turnout, and thousands of votes are yet to be counted from those displaced by Hurricane Sandy who used e-mail and provisional ballots.
But to reach 70 percent, the total voter turnout would have to swell by about 542,000, which isn’t likely. State election officials aren’t expected to release official turnout figures for weeks.
Obama won the state by about 560,000 votes under the current count, with about 58 percent of the vote. Four years ago, he won by about 602,000 votes, about 57 percent.
Political experts said before the election that turnout could be lower because so many people were displaced by the hurricane, and enthusiasm might have been diminished in a state Republicans never believed they could carry for Mitt Romney.

I negotiated my own parking spot in high school. I didn’t turn 17 until the 5th day of school my senior year, so they wouldn’t let me apply for a spot on the first day and then they told me, they were “all taken up” the day I got my license. Janitor was in charge of the lot and reporting cars that shouldn’t be there. A pork roll (taylor ham), egg, and cheese sandwich delivered to him every Friday got me a spot better than the teachers had the entire year.

As for the cleaning lady thing, everyone needs to pay their part, cheating is never acceptable. As for Mitt Romney’s 14% lets just consider it is a hell of a lot more money than I pay and as it is investment income it needs to be taxed accordingly. There are loopholes that need to be closed, taxation needs to be simplified but that will take the power away from the government. Their infernal meddling with the tax code to manipulate people has been nothing but trouble. The federal government has had scope creep, they really are supposed to lay the foundation, create the laws and only involve themselves when necessary. When you look at the size of the federal government you know immediately it is wrong, all of this movement of money just provides for corruption. Pay the money where it is being used, don’t pay the feds, to pay the states, to dole out to the municipalities to do the work, how much disappears in the process.

[91]. Caljn,
I’m waiting for Trump’s hair to start moving during an interview.
89
Market goes up. Market goes down.
You’re either in for the long term or find somewhere else to put your money.
Once the taxes go up, finally, and the nations finances stabilize as the right is endlessly screaming about, we restore confidence things will be fine. Just like the Clinton 90’s.
[51] gryf – That would probably just mean the kid is a drug dealer, not a casual user. Probably working for Dad as a soldier. Last name end in a vowel?
If dad had come to me and said his kid couldn’t get a spot because he is an underclassmen and needs the car to get to Montclair state where he takes advanced calculus, would you feel differently?
Trump is a crook, I don’t know why anyone pays attention to him but they do. It has confused me for a while but I guess people watch the real housewives of NJ so america will watch anything.
I agree caljn. Me not worried about the markets. More worried that the public is becoming more and more clueless politically.
In high school we had street parking only, as a pratical joke a bunch of us would sneak out in 3rd period or lunch and we would lift up onto the nearest lawn one of those tiny 1st generation Honda Civics owned by a real nimrod. After weeks of this and the Police showing up they finally gave the nimrod a spot in the teachers parking lot. The whole school would laugh whenever he was paged to show up in th Admin’s office. That kind of laughter was priceless.
[95] caljn,
Cannot believe you trotted that tired canard out again. Read Romers analysis of the Clinton tax hikes. And are you suggesting Obama will change the code to incentivize investment as Clinton did? I am not seeing it.
Oh, and an internet bubble would be good right now.
#95 You are delusional IMO if you are comparing today to the 1990’s. It is a whole new world out there grasshopper.
100
Bubbles are built into the system. Unfortunately. Soon enough another will be along.
Hmmm…I wonder if there is anything that could prevent such destruction??
Nom only liberals are happy when taxes go up. The thought of the monolith contracting or cutting even ten percent of the budget does not fit within their world view. The conservatives either for that matter. when rate of growth in spending is cut 0.1% so the all consuming Fedgov is 25.2% GDP instead of 25.3% is considered a major coup in budget thriftieness we are all Greek.
So what do you think the expatriation rate will jump to now.
The Athena power outages are starting. Snow, sleet, hail, rain, and it is all going sideways in 30MPH wind.

103
Liberals are happy with responsible governance. I have no problem being taxed for services I and the general population receive.
Unfortunately, others are convinced that they can have their cake and eat it too.
They complain about the pot holes but don’t wish to pay for their repair.
I was in Switzerland recently, (oohh, European Socialism!) and their infrastructure put us to shame. Glass smooth roads, invisible power lines…they’re amazed that we endure power failures that are there unheard of. World class transportation.
Someone earlier wrote the world is laughing at us…yeah because we are turning into a third world country.
The person posting as a conservative parody (“reinvestor101”) is about as funny as a brain tumor. Someone with far too much time on their hands.
Work Day 8 no JJ…….
Switzerland has a population smaller then NY City and a military budget less than 1% than that of the United States. Of course their roads are “glass smooth.”
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a sign of the apocalypse. Gary just came into the store, bought some whiskey and is headed home to try and drink away his man-crush on Mittens.
Snow!
I think the pricing of this house is out of touch w/reality, but am glad to hear from their ad that I live in a prestigious neighborhood. If they paid $1.06 mn in 2005 at the peak of the bubble, that’s a lot. My guess is that it would sell closer to $775k. Is $900k just a hail mary pass before foreclosure? That’s what one neigbor did – listed at the price that they could afford to sell, and when it didn’t, they just disappeared, abandoning the house and ran off to Australia.

When people’s houses are totaled and the housing stock falls, is it possible that people relocating from the shore move to houses further inland like this, driving up prices?
[102] caljn,
Well, you could get rid of the stock market. That would do it.
[103] pain,
Liberals are not happy when taxes go up. On them.
[105] caljn,
Funny. I never considered Switzerland as a Eurosocialist state. And to date, you are the only person I know who does. So one of us is wrong.
I think I saw the obamaphone lady celebrating in Chicago on TV last night. Looked like a schoolteachers union convention.
Anyone know if Newark is up and running? I have a hearing next week.

You will know Newark is functioning again when the murder rate goes back to one a day.
105
cajln,
Does responsible governance include following the law (a.k.a. only having programs that are lawfully authorized)?
We need a Sharpe James appearance for some comedy relief.
caljn, you are obviously clueless. Switzerland is relatively low tax and is not at all like the rest of socialist europe(no national healthcare,flat tax structure, etc). It is a place where really you must have money to live there, it is also a true democracy. They also have a relatively flat tax structure and no capital gains tax, you want to point to an example they are a good one. Spain to was a responsible government, spending well on infrastructure but they got bitten by the bank bust as well. Unfortunately take the bank/property bubble burst of Spain and mix it with corrupt incompetent liberal government like Greece and you have the model for the US. If we were building the type of infrastructure they have or providing FREE quality healthcare for all I wouldn’t be complaining as much. My service usage from the government is minuscule yet I get reamed on the federal, state and local levels.
Nice one Moose, only the left takes Trump seriously?
http://www.mediaite.com/online/well-its-working-donald-trump-leads-latest-rasmussen-poll-of-gop-primary-voters/
joyce (116)-
Caljn’s Black Jesus authorizes contract hits on Amerikan citizens, so I don’t think he has much of an idea of what constitutes lawful governance.
Interesting stat: He won 93 percent of African-Americans, 71 percent of Hispanics, and 73 percent of Asians. Gone are the vestiges of the old days when Am-Indian professionals worried only about Indian movies, Indian food, and taxes!
There are still some scary people such as the 70 year old guy I know from a past work place. He’s relatively low income white guy that thinks that W’s cozy relationship with UBL’s family is fine (“it is the family, not UBL”), but O is a “sleeper agent” because he may have some muslim influence! But time is not on their side.
Now, if the GOP can actually talk about issues where there will be common ground without the “they are the devil” kind of rhetoric, things will be good for them and for the country overall. They can start with some proposed ratio of cuts vs tax increase (they rejected 10 to 1, making it an almost religious issue!) I can hold my nose and go for Christie, for Bloomberg, and I can more than happily vote for McCain of 2000.
On another note, it is charming to hear the dingbat from a place that joined the union in 1959 (and the dingbat can’t even name a supreme court decision she disliked other than Roe vs Wade) talks like an expert on what the founding fathers wanted in the wake of a convincing victory for Obama.
Here’s to 12 million jobs that will be created here (would have been the case with either candidate), and let’s hope they are good jobs.
No other country is even close to electing someone like Obama to the highest office, and that’s the best thing about the US. It is still the best country in the world by far. The so called liberal meccas of Europe aren’t fit to shine US’s shoes with respect to diversity.
“If we were building the type of infrastructure they have or providing FREE quality healthcare for all I wouldn’t be complaining as much.”
The GOP poisoned the well on public option. As a “small business owner”, I still rely on a high premium COBRA for my health care. A reasonably priced insurance would have been wonderful, but…
118
You need to have money to own property in Switzerland. Not just to live there.
Are you advocating for infrastructure investment or not?
And your “usage” is far greater than you believe and is not only defined by receiving some check.
Switzerland is an unfair example. How much revenue do they receive as a tax loophole for the 1%?
This country is broken, and any call for infrastructure is a waste of time. It was about 4 years ago that we were making “the biggest investment in our infrastructure” with the stimulus. All we got were a bunch of signs put up on highways saying “America Reinvestment and Recovery”. No one ever did any work. Yet somehow, all the money got spent. America isn’t interested in being put back to work. America is interested in free money.
Some birds in the San Francisco Bay benefited greatly from the stimulus. Baa, baa!
Pete [119];
You cite a poll taken 18 months before the presidential election, when Trump has more money spent his television show than any primary candidate could hope to muster at that stage? Name recognition, nothing more.
How many state primaries did Trump win? None, you say? You mean he never declared as a candidate? It was all a publicity stunt? Good thing you didn’t fall for it.
Back to real estate. My first house had oil tank in basement, never considered it an issue. If I decide to look at one now that has an oil tank in the basement, is that now an issue? Just asking.
3b (128)-
Oil + water = bad
3B…probably.
Our multi has a decommissioned oil tank below the furnace in the basement. In 2004, when we bought it, the market was so hot that people were buying homes with Radon pumps for top dollar. Today, most everyone I know require the tanks to be removed as a seller contingency. I’m guessing we’ll eventually settle somewhere in the middle with some buyers willing to ignore it, but for now, if you want to sell, you probably have to have it removed. Ours will be impossible to remove. I will probably just hide it as the only evidence of it’s existence is a stub of a pipe sticking out of the cement floor next to my furnace. To remove the tank would require the removal of the furnace.
Ben,
$66.3 B on infrastructure (including high speed rail corridors). When that trickles down , it becomes sparse and concentrated. We could have seen a new tunnel to NYC (part of money from stimulus funds?) but CC didn’t agree! If we look for a middle ground between “stimulus fixed US” [which no one is claiming, though] and “$800 B wasted” [which some are claiming], we can try to improve such programs…
Tax cuts: $297.8 B
Contracts/Grants/Loans: $244.3 B
Entitlements: $235.7 B
Total: $840 B
Entitlements are for Medicare/medicaid, UE, Food Stamps, etc.
Transportation: $36.2B
Highway Infrastructure. High-Speed Rail Corridors. Grants for Railroads and Airports
Infrastructure: $30.1B
Broadband. Federal Building Fund. Highway Construction. Rural Water and Waste Disposal Account
Energy / Environment: $27.6B
Energy Efficient and Renewable Energy Program. Defense Environmental Clean-up. Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Program. Water and Related Resources Superfund Program
Research & Development / Science: $13.9B
Fossil Energy R&D. National Science Foundation. National Institutes of Health
3b above or below the slab. If it is below i would stay away or ask for remediation docs. If they can’t provide documents that are filed with the town clerk for decomissioning run.
caljn, as Ben stated there is a whole lot of waste. You can go back to loving Obama because he spent on infrastructure that we didn’t get. He spent on green energy which we didn’t get. My problem is Democrooks seem to think that blindly spending money we don’t have on things without any good plan will end well. Money doesn’t necessarily fix problems you need a good plan as well. High speed rail is a good idea but because of difficulties in doing it in heavily populated areas, we get such brillance as high speed trains between orlando and tampa! McDullard, there was never going to really be a government run option. If we are going into Switzerland it is very important to point out the government restricts businesses if need be, there healthcare is really simple, everyone must buy they declare a base level of care and a cost that is affordable and basically tell the insurers if they want a license to do business they need to offer healthcare at cost that works. Obamacare is a giveaway to the insurers where 75% of us pay even more and still get hammered with crazy premiums.
#129 , 130, 132: The listing says new oil tank in basement, so I am assuming it is still functioning, as in providing the heat for the house. My first house had the same, and at the time I sold it, oil tanks in basment was not an issue.
Obamacare will put a repub in the white house in 2016. It’s almost a gimme.
[135] lib,
I think that, and inability to spark the economy, is why so many repubs stayed on the sidelines this year.
But not everyone is hurting. SWHC and RGR having a helluva rally. I thought they were fully priced. Shows what I know.
Thank you a bunch for sharing this with all people you really realize what you’re talking about! Bookmarked. Please also visit my site =). We can have a link trade agreement among us
I just got my Obama-phone!!!! I am gonna make a call now to order up some weed and gay sex..does anybody need any??? It’s on me! Peace and love, peace and love.
I gave up this site for a few months but reading through yesterday’s comments…boy was that fun. classic stuff. same old, same old. Based on the hellscape that is painted here we should all be able to pick up some really inexpensive NNJ property in just a few months. Does anyone talk about property on here anymore?
Green energy is a complete waste of time. All a bunch of unprofitable and insufficient theories and designs. Its decades away from true application. The “major investments” into green technology only ensure that companies focus on substandard technology now made profitable through ridiculous subsidies rather than trying to actually build a sustainable design. It actually impedes progress. Natural gas and Nuclear are the way to go. We’ll have another 100 years to develop solar.
Grim,
Rescinding the trade offer of O&R for JCP&L. Power’s back (for the moment). Hope you can say the same soon.
Did I miss anything on the telly last night?
[138] seif,
Well, if its on you, the weed sounds great.
no problem! everything is free with obama. all you have to do is put your hands out and ask!
[142] seif,
I have been assimilated. Going online for some gov cheese.
Romney appeared at Trump’s endorsement. But again, only people on the left take him seriously. Got it.
[134] My in-laws had their in ground oil tank removed and abated within the last two years and their new one is in the basement. Where are people putting their oil tanks now, outside on the lawn? When Lib says his decommissioned tank is in the basement “below the furnace”, I’m guessing that’s in the ground, right?
Yes…under the basement.
And Trump would make an excellent politician. All he cares about is himself.
Nom at least i know if I go out to Colorado now boarding I can get zoned out. DEA still wants to enforce and I think this whole legalization business goes to the supreme court.
Does Roberts have the stones to go against the will of the people on this one after his Obamacare ruling. If so it may be the first time you see a sitting SCJ impeached on incompetence.
125
The states used the money not on infrastructure but to plug their budgets.
Hence the signs and no activity.
[139] Ben – Much as it pains me to say it, solar technology can only be developed through subsidies, protectionism, or both. The Chinese are the problem. The Chinese government has decided that they will own that space so their subsidies to their own country’s firms, increased as necessary, will always trump ours. There are solar panel companies in the US Midwest that export 100% of their product to China. If Solar is a race the US wants to win, we have to subsidize it and probably keep our technology in and keep the Chinese technology out. I think we need to play a strong hand that lets the Chinese know we don’t plan on buying their technology and we’re no longer interested in exporting our components. I don’t like it, but that’s the current state of the Solar game.

Caljn,
Did you ask the Swiss why they weren’t speaking Russian? All of Europe would have gone that way if it wasn’t for American involvement.
Are the Swiss giving handouts to the devastated Jersey residents?
Many times, a freestanding tank located in the basement can mean there is another tank located in a position that is difficult to remediate, such as sub-slab in the basement (as stu mentioned), under the garage, under a deck, under walkways, below breezeways, crawlspaces, abutting foundations, etc.
Why?
Because if a tank went bad and you needed to replace it, it’s much easier to drop a new tank in the hole you just dug.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. We shouldn’t be subsidizing solar and we shouldn’t be trading with China. China never brought anything to the table other than an entire population willing to work for $2500 a year. 200 years or protectionism served this country well. 30 years of free trade allowed us to tear down every factory we worked so hard to build.
President Obama won 82.89% of the vote in Montclair, while 16.06% of residents went for Mitt Romney.
I think that’s more than last time!
[152] Ben – Sounds like you’re advocating for the development of bell un-ringing technology. Get some VC backing and get on that.

Actually W. did better than Mitt in 2004. It’s in the Wikipedia, so it must be true.
In the 2008 presidential election, Democrat Barack Obama received 83.0% of the vote here (17,396 cast), ahead of Republican John McCain with 15.7% (3,294 votes) and other candidates with 0.6% (132 votes), among the 20,951 ballots cast by the township’s 27,476 registered voters, for a turnout of 76.3%.[58]
In the 2004 presidential election, Democrat John Kerry received 78.8% of the vote here (15,597 ballots cast), outpolling Republican George W. Bush with 20.2% (3,995 votes) and other candidates with 0.6% (157 votes), among the 19,804 ballots cast by the township’s 25,762 registered voters, for a turnout percentage of 76.9.[59]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montclair,_New_Jersey
[153] Lib – Only 78.92% Obama and 19.41% Romney here in Boston.
President Obama won 82.89% of the vote in Montclair, while 16.06% of residents went for Mitt Romney.

Is this this same switzerland with the heavily unionized workforce that have strong collective bargaining agreeements. The same Swizerland with a coalition govenment made up of all parties, left right and center come together to goven with a mandate of full employment, social equality, economic growth, environmental quality, positive trade balance and price stability?
The biggest advancement in practical green power is coming from US companies. Namely technology for turbocharging engines, downsizing cylinders and displacement, applying dual clutch transmissions. For less than $1000 per powertrain you can get 10% to 20% better mileage. Borgwarner and Honeywell are leaders here. Far better return on investment and far greater potential real world impact on fuel consumed than government subsidized hybrids, electric cars, or ethanol. Also keep in mind that if the US government (and California) would relax its regulations on particulates, the US fleet could have enjoyed a similar diesel-fueled MPG revolution that swept through Europe the last 15 years. But regulations make it super difficult to qualify high mpg diesels in the US.
China has been full of talk on green stuff, but their banks are getting stuffed with bad loans to windfarms, money losing solar companies, “electric car” makers that cannot produce a car people want or afford. Meanwhile, in the real world as opposed to fairytalegranolaland, Chinese are mostly expanding energy production via dirty coal. Their solar companies lived on European green subsidies, and now that they cannot afford them, Chinese solar companies are losing big money and borrowing to cover their losses. Overproducing stuff people don’t want and cannot afford is not how you move an economy forward.
Any chance to close the hanging italitics tag?

Damn Swiss commies hate us for our freedom & cause guys like Eddie live here and think they carry a lot of weight.
Try living in Switzerland with their $500/night hotel rooms and $20 dollar sandwiches. It’s easy to afford fancy lightpoles when its funded by bankers sheltering money from other countries’ grasping taxation systems, and winning big accounts from dictators. They like to overengineer stuff there, but it’s not free. Better to spend tax money on that rather than high-paid illiterate unionized teachers and failing students in Camden and Newark, though.

Why do you think this is over? We didn't lose a damn thing. We still have the damn house and we can obstruct like hell. Hell, if Trump makes good on his threat to mount a damn march on DC, we may blockade the whole damn place until we get what the hell we want. What do we want? Well, for damn starters, we want a damn recount and this time, the jerks that shouldn't have been allowed to vote have their damn votes thrown the hell out. They got past the damn voter ID and they won't get past it this time. Second, we want Sarah Palin to be the damn republican candidate rather than a stinking RINO. If we get that, Obama will be sent packing back to damn Kenya. This election won't stand as it is.

Today the Christie Administration advised NJ TRANSIT customers today to save time and money by taking free ferry service from Jersey City to Lower Manhattan. The service includes free parking at the agency’s Hudson Bergen Light Rail Liberty State Park station’s park-and-ride, free shuttle bus service to/from the nearby ferry docks and free ferry service to/from Battery Park.
NJ TRANSIT has teamed up with Statue Cruises to operate the service until further notice on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. LSC is located off of Exit 14C of the New Jersey Turnpike.
The free parking, busing and ferry service at HBLR’s Liberty State Park station’s park-and-ride is part of an emergency Trans-Hudson access plan designed to get customers back to work as NJ TRANSIT continues to repair significant storm damage from Hurricane Sandy
NJ TRANSIT is still several weeks away from full service restoration.
Emergency conditions still exist across the NJ TRANSIT system and will continue for some time for regular commuters. During the recovery period, NJ TRANSIT strongly advises customers to use ferry service.

Nope, just talking about the mistakes we’ve made. There was no point in trading with any mercantalist countries.
Ben,
You are correct. China and the like do not want to TRADE with us. They just want to SELL to us. As Ross Perot said during the NAFTA debate, we should only trade with people who have money… meaning, the average mexican couldn’t afford to buy anything from the US and similarly that wasn’t a trade agreement just a one-way screw job for the average american worker.
186. Bruce. One thing that I agree on with the Big Man in Charge of NJ currently.
Freakin GOP are morons. Throwing shade on Christie for ‘not’ being difficult to work with and for trying to keep ‘US’ safe.
SX,
No just teachers that unionize and conspire with government to avoid having to create value for their customers.
I like a lot of teachers. I pay their salary, and have paid out of my own pocket for good teachers, for myself, and my child. What I don’t like is getting forced to pay for slop at the government educational buffet.
SX, you’d rather spend money on illiterate unionized teachers than light poles that stand up? Well no wonder you like living in NJ.
To anyone in a public union:
The pension and benefits you are counting on aren’t going to be there when you need them.
Sincerely,
Taxpayer
PS- Your union bosses and politicians spent it all on malt liquor and prostitutes.
So O is going to wind up w/ @ 6.5MM fewer popular votes than last time and GOP couldn’t ever exceed that of McCain/Palin. What a joke. Clot, looks like people did stay home.
ever – even. whatever.
Hey Raghead,
“I pay their salary”. Yeah dickhead, we all pay taxes.
Essex,
If someone’s income comes from the government, or is purely dependent on it, I contend that they do not pay taxes.
200. That would probably be a reasonable assessment.
Essex,
Then you can’t accurately say “we all pay taxes.”
SX,
No I mean that I actually paid for education via voluntary exchange on the free market, thereby indirectly paying the teacher’s salary. Rather than it being taken from me at gunpoint whether or not I like the product, as per the typical arrangement.
And when I was paying for my MBA at NYU cash on the barrelhead, I once reminded a teacher who was attempting to mis-educate me, that I was paying something like $3 per minute of classtime. And the B-school dean took the trouble to write me back with an apology. And when I sent my daughter to private school, those teachers actually acted as if they needed to earn their pay by keeping customers happy, unlike the usual arrangement.
Sorry to hear that Grim(4). With a new baby, it’s that much more adjusting and jumping through hoops to make sure everything is taken care of AND getting your much needed rest. Hope the weekend brings better weather and good news with JCPL.

“Trish Regan and Adam Johnson do their best to hold themselves together in this sublime rant by ‘Gloom, Boom & Doom’s Marc Faber on Bloomberg TV as he sees Obama’s re-election as “very negative for the economy”. From his view that the market should be down at least 20% – and maybe 50%, to the implied ignorance of both of the candidates, he believes fervently that the “standards of living of people in the western hemisphere will continue to decline.” Faber views Obama’s re-election as one of many unintended consequences of market manipulation (since Democrat attacks on the wealthy were ‘enabled’ by their profiteering from Bernanke’s money printing) and sees the need to protect one’s assets “with a gun, a machine gun… or perhaps a tank.” He concludes with a stunner as he exclaims his view doubting Obama will make it through the whole four-year term because “there will be so many scandals” since “there is so much smoke, there must be some fire!”
