From the Star Ledger:
Election 2018: N.J. voters OK $500 million for school security, water improvements
New Jersey voters on Tuesday approved a proposal to borrow $500 million to expand vocational schools and bolster security across K-12 school districts, according to projections from the Associated Press.
Voters were asked whether they support the Securing Our Children’s Future Act, a $500 million bond measure that also includes funding for county colleges and improving water systems in K-12 schools. It was the only statewide ballot question.
New Jersey’s Constitution requires that new state borrowing be approved by a majority of voters.
Proponents of the bond issue had argued career and technicals schools need to expand to serve more students. For every seat at the schools, there are 2.3 applications, and last year 17,000 students were turned away.
The technical skills gap between New Jersey’s workforce and industry needs is holding back the state’s economy, they said, while limited admissions are depriving students of training for careers in welding, clean energy, construction and logistics.
The $500 million bond issue is half of what New Jersey lawmakers wanted. Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, cut it from $1 billion out of concern for the state’s already high debt burden.
At $1 billion, the nonpartisan Office of Legislative Services projected the new debt would add $57.5 million to $72.3 million in new borrowing costs every year through 2048, for a total of $1.7 billion to $2.2 billion.
State officials have not said how much $500 million in new borrowing would cost each year. New Jersey is one of the most indebted states and is paying more than $4 billion this year to service its debt.
Going to require an increase in sales taxes to service the debt.
Was in LIC a few weeks back to meet with a client.
Christ that place is packed tight, can’t imagine it post-Amazon.
Anyone looking to buy in should have done it 7 years ago, commercially driven gentrification has long been underway.
DC/LIC is great for the Northeast Megalopolis – the center of the world.
I think that over the next 100 years the Northeast Megalopolis will expand to become the Eastern Seaboard Megalopolis, including Richmond, Raleigh, Charlotte and Atlanta.
It could possibly stretch to Miami, probably be 40-50% of GDP, and unequivocally the single most important economic region in existence.
We WILL be the California of the East! (the whole coast!)
Miami will be underwater.
I can’t imagine how California would sprawl through the central coast, it doesn’t feel the same at all.
Logistics might be a good career path for young people.
I’m curious to see how the new House of Representative governs now. These people have to produce budgets and legislation that keeps the country running. They can’t resist and investigate all day. They have to govern.
I can’t believe they passed this 500 million ballot question.
Good posts today. You pretty much can’t lose buying land in this area if you hold long term. Writing is on the wall. Amazon says so.

I wonder where Essex is this morning? Probably puking into the blue wave.

So much for the blue wave!!
I’m having breakfast with Robert Muller and making lots of popcorn. This is about to get goooood.
You guys missed the part about losing your Congressional majority .
NJ residents are morons to have approved that 500 million spending madness. Maybe they think it will make their houses worth more. And they will continue to complain about high taxes!!
A subpoena (/səˈpiːnə/; also subpœna) or witness summons is a writ issued by a government agency, most often a court, to compel testimony by a witness or production of evidence under a penalty for failure. … subpoena ad testificandum orders a person to testify before the ordering authority or face punishment.

Hahahaha hahahaha Hahahaha hahahaha Hahahaha hahahaha Hahahaha hahahaha Hahahaha hahahaha Hahahaha hahahaha Hahahaha hahahaha
Oblammy got shellacked in the midterms. The republicans gained seats in the senate which is remarkable. You’ll see Pelosi, Waters, Schiff, Cummings and Nadler with investigation after investigation. Meanwhile, the economy gains strength and the left will have nothing left in 2020. It’ll be a sweep back to red and by that time, Ginsberg may be already dead and we add another seat in the SC. The senate rules. This blue nothing really knocked the wind out of the progressives.

Trump is soooooo screwed now.
Oh and the list of Shitbags from Scott Walker to Dana Rourbach to that scumbag Marriage Clerk in KY who are OUT on their assess is refreshing and cause to celebrate.
I voted “NO” but New Jersey has a very high percentage of morons, and handout-seeking foreign nationals casting votes.
Right we’ve never heard that before.
But Menendez that fine honorable man has been re elected.
Here’s a clarification: “Congress” is a bicameral legislature consisting of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Republicans lost control of the House, and now Congress is divided. Yet I heard the decrepit Pelosi babbling last night about Democrats now controlling “congress”. It doesn’t work that way, Nancy.
Republicans did very little while controlling the House and Senate, nothing like the Obamacare cram-down. No legislation passes without both House and Senate approval. The House will soon create impeachment efforts that will go nowhere, because 75% of the Senate would have to vote in favor. A pickup of a seat or two by the Repubs in the Senate will take power out of the weak hands of the likes of Maine Senator Olympia Snowe. Next supreme court nominee vote may be made easier.
Stock markets tend to like gridlock. Politicians rarely have good ideas, so not much new (and bad) will be passed by congress over the next 2 years.
Certainly was blue wave in NJ, NY, PA. Staten Island turning blue was surprise. Senate flip was never going to happen. In all, about as expected. I think it just solidifies that Northeast voted on prop tax cap which hurt many people as well as white collar economy not so strong compared to hourly workers in red States.
Nj will continue to be a political backwater. That’s the bottom line from yesterday. Trump obstructionists and Obama acolytes aren’t the answer.
That Menendez won easily is an indictment on the NJ population. But Hugin didn’t campaign well. I only really knew him as the “not Menendez”. Both mostly did attack ads, though Menendez also did some really misleading defense ads that kept on repeating clips of some tv “journalist” repeating “there’s no evidence”. I’m surprised I never really got a sense from campaign ads what Menendez really did. Libturd offered more information and a better case than the Hugin campaign did.
I know you’re super dense but I’ll try to explain, Democrats we’re not expected to win the Senate by anyone since most of the contests were in very red states with well documented republican led voter suppression efforts.
Because of voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other Republicans tricks, Dems turn out had to outperform Republicans by 9 percent just to have an even playing ground and they did it.
You should be worried that a political nobody nearly took a Texas Senate seat from the Republicans last night. The Senate map in 2 years strongly favors Dems.
“The republicans gained seats in the senate which is remarkable“
Had more to do with gerrymandering and voter suppression. Dems outperformed the waves after Clinton and obama yesterday by significant percentages. Face it, Republicans can’t win without cheating and stacking the deck.

Nothing earthshaking yesterday. Any surprises were on the margin.
Long time friend’s sibling was elected to the House yesterday. Happy for that.
No one. You can only expect it to Get worse as the demographics change. There is a high tolerance for political corruption among the groups who are moving in. Many of the places these people are coming from lack the ability to manage their affairs.
A college friend of one of my good friends was also elected to the House yesterday, Dusty Johnson, lone House seat from South Dakota.
Long time friend’s sibling was elected to the House yesterday. Happy for that.
Ottoman – Do you think you may have overfilled Essex again?
Well said By. Trumps idiocy and need to get back at the blue team probably cost him house control. The Righties here will try to spin this as a confirmation of Trumpmania, but the results were anything but that. The Dems clawed back some tough house seats. Frelinghuysen for example. How long was that seat red?
The truth is, the best that could have happened IMO happened last night, sans the Menendez seat. You get gridlock in the house and nothing stupid (like Trump’s outright lies about pre-existing conditions under his stupid ass healthcare for the rich program) for a couple years. Though I can’t wait to hear Trump complain endlessly about the lack of House help for him to pass anything. He blew that option when he chose to campaign as a jack-ass.
On the bright side, the divisive politics that are truly making America look stupid (which it is) might hit the back burner somewhat. I also think the results are exactly what the Market wanted, which should be nice. Time to dust off my hats.
“Voter suppression” — that’s a laugh. Any concern about illegals voting in US elections?

Just like a political nobody beat cankles two years ago. But to get to your point, riff-raff tends to multiply rapidly when hanging around the corner and doing nothing but getting high all day. You should walk the walk as a progressive loser and support your kind.
Oh….I always wondered how Obama lost his super-majority that never passed anything. Thanks. Btw, does voter suppression = turning off your base so that your party suffers the greatest loss in power since Eisenhower?
President Obama entered the White House with his party touting a 60 seat majority in the Senate and 257 seat majority in the House.

Had more to do with gerrymandering and voter suppression.
Oblammy’s legacy has already evaporated.
Oblammas legacy is a generation of thin skinned whiners.
Did anyone that Obama campaigned for win?
Obama blew it when hope and change transformed rapidly into nope and the same when the Porkulous Bill was released. There was so much fat and gratitude payments in there it turned everyone off. He essentially wasted his mandate. He did pass the ACA, though I still think (and everyone already knows) that single payer is the only solution to health care. Trump’s learning the hard way that the current system can’t be reformed without having everyone purchase insurance (the healthy) to help pay for the majorly sick (pre-existing conditions).
^^^ That’s why HC stocks are up today. They know their profit model can’t be interrupted in the next two years.
^^^^ Luckily, I own over a dozen;-)
Much of eastern PA’s congressional districts appear to have gone to Democrats. NJ expats bringing their politics with them? Looks like they flipped 3 districts in eastern PA. Republicans flipped one in Western PA.
Let’s all move west of the Mississippi!!! I got Wyoming.
You are right to be optimistic, but the scenario is not the same.
In this cycle, more Democrats incumbents were up for re-election…many in Trump Country.
In 2020, more Republican incumbents are up for re-election…also many of whom represent states that went to Trump. It is also the year of a presidential election, so naturally there’s more turnout.
“The Senate map in 2 years strongly favors Dems.”
In all honesty, the Dems should have done better and the Republican’s can rest a bit knowing that without a major party reformation, you’ll still be controlling the senate and most likely, the White House in 2020. The truth is, until the Dems come up with something new, as long as Trumpenomics works (which we’ll have to wait another year or so to see), the red team will be fine.
And from my perch. There are still way too many Dems who DON’T GET IT. Though a few are showing some understanding. Probably about one in ten.
How long before Trump blames everything wrong on the congress? I give it till February 1st.
Not sure why I possessed Republucans. Ignore my quick typing please as per usual.
Now you wants to take odds on Jr. getting indicted? Anti-establishment bidnessman that he is…. they’re gonna chip away at this guy. See the Market? It’s lost a year of gains the Orange idiot was crowing about. His mushroom must have retreated back into his body….

3b,
Until fed raises again then prepare for drop. Amazing how prez and media have been trying to pressure Powell.
Senate popular vote:
Democrats: 40,558,262 (55.4%)
Republicans: 31,490,026 votes (43.0%)
Senate seats: Republicans +3
How fair is that? When your popularity vote is %55 how can you claim a big victory! More people are against this administration than for. It is a big fallacy.
I agree with Grim though and saw it first hand, in a decade FL and TX will be strong blue with migration and employment. Beto was not a fluke and with the right man, these two states could be impossible without voter suppression.
Bystander True. Although I am not convinced they will raise rates again this year.
otto,
maybe I’m just dense and learned nothing from my Gov. degree and two law degrees, but how does gerrymandering affect a Senate race?

Looks that way but I hope he pivots and comes at them instead of playing defense:. If I were The Donald, I would propose legislation and make them reject it, especially legislation that is tempting to red states but strengthens the Tenth Amendment; hold rallies in their districts and challenge them on legislation or their shortcomings; talk to employers in their districts (with Red state governors along for the ride); announce regulatory changes that hurt their districts and constituents; and fight their investigations tooth and nail and make them overplay their hand a la Kavanaugh.
In Otto’s defense, I read his comments to mean Democrats won in house races despite Gerrymandering.

Lib, credit where credit is due.
The Dems broke the mold of treating a candidacy as an entitlement or reward for party fealty. It worked for the Tea Party, and the Dems this season in most of their flipped races picked exactly the candidate they needed.
Frelinghuysen’s seat? Webber v. Sherrill?
It was the definition of a state political insider versus a woman who graduated the Naval Academy, LSE (MS), and Georgetown (JD). She flew helicopters for 10 years out of EMEA. She left the Navy and reinvented herself as a lawyer with a career as a US Attorney. While raising a family of four kids.
That seat could have bled red and it was going to flip to her without an incumbent.
Vote for her? Fcuk that, I want to marry her.
Credit to the Dems for going outside the box to even inexperienced candidates who were exactly suited to win their districts. It paid off.
I don’t think Kavanaugh helped the Republicans one bit. Lots and lots of blue women were elected last night. If Trump tried to rally in NJ, he would be boo’ed off the stage. Trust me, he’s smart enough to stay away (I think). Laying stupid legislation out there to be denied, I can definitely see him doing.

Corporations do NOT make key location decisions based on taxes as Amazon now shows us again. Access to labor, markets, inputs, etc are more important. But they SAY it’s very important to get tax cuts and subsidies. Dont be fooled.
“The choice of Long Island City, in particular, would serve as a rebuke to conventional wisdom that corporate employers are ditching high-cost cities for places where real estate is cheap and taxes are low or non-existent. New Yorkers in the highest tax brackets can pay as much as 12.7 percent in state and city income taxes. That’s way more than what workers pay in Dallas, another city reportedly in advanced negotiations with Amazon, where the state and local income tax rate is zero.
“At the metro level, if they’re going to wind up in D.C. and New York instead of Atlanta or Dallas, they’re not going for a low-cost, low-tax, laissez faire environment,” said Jenny Schuetz, a fellow at the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program.”

“Google is gearing up for an expansion of its New York City real estate that could add space for more than 12,000 new workers, an amount nearly double the search giant’s current staffing in the city, according to people familiar with the matter.
The plan, which hasn’t been previously disclosed, would give Google room for nearly 20,000 staff in the city, including those it has now—rivaling the approxi-mately 25,000 jobs Amazon.com Inc. is projected to add if it completes plans for a major new office in New York.”

Finally at 21:00 they give him the “you are useless – goodbye.”
Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Campaign Manager, thinks Democrats need to focus on delivering results to those who elected them.

Chifi,
John Ferro is actually pretty good. My wife listens more than me, she tells me he actually has corrected Tom Keane’s liberal fantasies a few times as well. Financial journalism generally has moved left along with their young reporters. The FT has moved further left editorially. The Economist has moved to center left from pro-market over the past 20 years, but especially during the past 5 yrs. WSJ is the last remaining newspaper retaining a rightward slant, Forbes too but that magazine is fading intellectually as Steve Forbes ages without new thinkers stepping up.
What a loser Mook is. I have a feeling, since it is a podcast, they just edited out whatever else he said, though it is pretty funny that it sounds like they just hung up on him.

I thought the blue wave thing was total bs until I saw mcarthur go down. His opponent is probably the least qualified politician I’ve ever seen elected at any level and is allied with the extremist wing. Just mind boggling but nj has been known to spite itself before. When the rest of The country is looking for moderates nj moves hard left.
I heard the interaction live on the radio Wednesday AM. No editing. That is exactly as it was broadcast…… I went and found it later in the day because it was so notable.

It is troubling how badly left leaning Bloomberg the network is. I think as a long timer, incredibly experienced and witty man, Keane is a pragmatist and centrist. However, he is under order from Mikey himself to toe the company line as expressed in the the billionaire’s vision. Surveillance is literally the best media content out there bar none, but the rest of the radio (except David Wilson’s sound bites) is unlistenable and the video channel is useless.

employees pay those income taxes not Amazon. Amazon got huge incentives in both my and va. That reporting is bogus. My guess is that these locations were pre determined like many others have said and the whole search process was a means to extract tax credits.

Tom Keane isn’t terrible, he at least is willing to listen and engage with people with ideas from across the spectrum, even though I think his actual beliefs are a standard mishmash of whatever the NY Times embeds in him (Keynesian liberal). So I can bear him. But Jon Ferro has definitely been a welcome addition. Keane alone would have never stood up to Mook’s disinformation. Which means Jon Ferro is unlikely to be promoted further at Bloomberg, and could even lose his job someday.
What really worries me about the future is my fear that 99% of journalism school grads are coming out as leftists, and every publication will be eventually swamped by their groupthink and agenda. WSJ should hire pro-market economics and business school grads and teach them how to write.
The post-election liberal nightmare begins in earnest

ChiFi,
Just saw that about Ginsburg. I can hear the gasps and shrieks by the left.
POTUS completely unhinged at his presser yesterday.
That should be everyone’s nightmare. He’s nuts.
I thought it was fantastic. I never laughed so hard in my life.
Landslide reelection in two years. The leftist media uses a powder puff approach on their own candidates and elected officials.
The White House is accused of using a video of CNN’s Jim Acosta doctored by the conspiracy-theory outlet Infowars as justification for suspending the journalist’s press pass on Wednesday.
Acosta, the chief White House correspondent for CNN, was engaged in a tense exchange with President Donald Trump during a press conference at the White House when a White House intern walked up and tried to take the microphone away from him. Acosta held on to the microphone and kept trying to question Trump.
MAGA what you miss is, that if you were to look at both parties in 1975 vs 2018. The Dems would be considered Republicans and the Republicans would be considered a bunch of right wing extremist.
Whether missed or intentionally, what no ones wants to talk about except the Thomas Franks or so https://youtu.be/ibDX92b5cnY Is that the Clintons sold out everyone.
Even now, you are seeing a push to ensure that Pelosi does not come back as speaker. The mood is you boomers had your time, now go into a retirement home and eat your soylent green. Of course the boomers think they are the center of everything and everyone and refuse to leave the stage.
So it is not NJ moving hard left. But NJ and everyone else correcting themselves to where they were supposed to be before the map got changed by the crooked Clintons.

I thought the blue wave thing was total bs until I saw mcarthur go down. His opponent is probably the least qualified politician I’ve ever seen elected at any level and is allied with the extremist wing. Just mind boggling but nj has been known to spite itself before. When the rest of The country is looking for moderates nj moves hard left.
For a so called man of logic, you don’t even question why this is happening? It’s called evolution. These people are highly intelligent, and why are they all abandoning free market capitalism as the long term answer to society’s economic system? They see the future and they see the enormous flaws of applying free market capitalism to this future. What worked for the 1800’s and 1900’s, will not work in 2050. Automation will become much too efficient. Human labor will never be needed on such a massive scale again.
On top of that, repeating the same mistakes over and over is stupidity. That’s another reason economists are abandoning free market capitalism as the long term answer. The flaws are huge. The system literally creates Wars and divides society. If you don’t think we can do better as a species, you are ignorant and have no imagination.

Chifi,
John Ferro is actually pretty good. My wife listens more than me, she tells me he actually has corrected Tom Keane’s liberal fantasies a few times as well. Financial journalism generally has moved left along with their young reporters. The FT has moved further left editorially. The Economist has moved to center left from pro-market over the past 20 years, but especially during the past 5 yrs. WSJ is the last remaining newspaper retaining a rightward slant, Forbes too but that magazine is fading intellectually as Steve Forbes ages without new thinkers stepping up.
Acosta is not a journalist he’s an activist. CNN is not news. It’s propaganda. They lost the presidency. Why entertain their agenda at all?
I called it about a month ago, I said the decision was between DC and NYC metro and was fundamentally being driven by the Government and Finance being prime targets for AWS and technology outsourcing in general.
Given how abysmal both the government and banks have been with tech implementations, Amazon could make a killing in that market. In order to do that they need two things on the ground sales people and engineers, both offices are about selling AWS which is the new big growth business for Amazon.
What surprises me is that they didn’t pick Newark with all of the incentives and the ability build a campus they simply won’t get in LIC(LIC isn’t much better than Newark and isn’t likely to gentrify the same way). If you were going to go to NYC, Manhattan seems more logical, in general it is easier to get the talent to come to Manhattan and in general it seems technology people(suburban folks…the younger kids are in Manhattan or Brooklyn) favor Jersey over NY in my experience. Almost every tech team I’ve been on 85% of the technology folks live in Jersey. I’m actually continually surprised how many people I meet who are in technology or software in NJ.
Acosta was wrong. He made an assertion rather than ask a question. Press conferences are to ask questions not debate the President whoever he or she might be.
I’ll laugh when these indictments start rolling in. Trump knows he’s screeeewed.
I’m from Queens and take majot umbrage with comparing LIC to Newark….. LIC is just a neighborhood…..Newark is a cesspool and a financial black hole.
LIC is 10x better than JC or Hob because of the complete integration of the subway system into the neighborhood….. the Cornell Tech campus is almost walking distance away…. I’m sure a small ferry will be installed in short order….
Not happy LIC got pick over Newark, but I can completely see why.
Williamsburg is bleeding up into Greenpoint and it is just a stone’s throw to LIC….

LIC is a far better choice than Newark and it’s easily accessible by subway. As well it has the NYC cachet which Newark and NJ will never have.
I’ll laugh when these indictments start rolling in.
FISA warrants, dossiers, the Clinton/Obama connection… all up for investigation now. And the fake Russia thing is about to get its brains beaten in because the new AG doesn’t have to recuse himself. You wanna f.ucking play?
Newark was never an option. The came, they saw, they left.
Lol – 69 yo man sues to change his records because he “identifies” as 49. Claims he feels 20 years younger and doctors say he has a body of someone 20 years younger!! His reason? More success on T@inder. Hahahaha hahahaha

Chi Newark has something like 3 college campuses, an NHL arena and tons of derelict vacant land/buildings waiting to be redeveloped. It’s no longer a matter of if with Newark it’s when. Newark is corrupt but NYC cannot get out of it’s own way when it comes to redevelopment. Just look at how badly LIC has lagged JC in development(and what has been done is simply not as nice as what has been done in JC, Hob, or Brklyn). On the Jersey side they ave managed to build out entire neighborhoods in places with no transit….think about that. When you couple the choice of sites for a campus, the existing Amazon presence and the billions in incentives Jersey was going to kick in it becomes difficult to logically pick someplace else in the region unless you are picking Manhattan.
Also the WS datacenters are in NJ almost exclusively.
JCer,
What do you mean when you say there’s no transit in Jersey City?
Would you buy a split level new house in narrow lot but very well built
3B , whatz your take?

joyce, I’m talking about outside of downtown and journal square. I’m talking about northern hoboken, weehawken, jersey city heights. There are buses and maybe the lightrail but it seems that cities are sprouting up
Newark in it’s current state is a tough sell but moving in a big tech co like amazon would accelerate the process.
Update: Brothers pig of a realtor just had him lower house to 10k less than he paid for it with her “expert market knowledge” back in late 2009. He will lose $100k on this place. Market is $hit in CT.
Pat La Frieda moved his business across the River from NJ because his trucks were racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in parking tickets just picking up stuff at his own damn warehouse. I’m surprised a lot of other places don’t move out of NYC. Probably only a matter of time.
Acosta was being a jerk. Trump took plenty of questions, answered them all, and Acosta was acting like he was the only person in the room.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg suffered 3 broken ribs in her office. Democrats claim that Kavanaugh was on top of her and Gorsuch was in the room laughing.
Texting I am not familiar with Lyndhurst save to say it’s a good NYC commute. Schools are supposed to be decent. Most are over rated anyhow in my opinion. Taxes are better than the so called more upscale towns as well.
Lyndhurst house-just review Flood situation
Esx is angry because his warped world view has been repeatedly repudiated. His forced to be referred to by such hurtful words as man, husband and dad for at least the next two years.
Ok people, remember that Ginsburg is a human being. Nobody should take joy in her decline and illness. That’s just sinking to the level of Kathy Griffin and the radical SJWs.
No One,
Just after Scalia died, I was at a labor conference and Rep. Norcross was speaking. He referred to a SCOTUS decision of interest to the crowd and said something to the effect of “now if we could just get three more deaths . . .”
I don’t think he meant Ginsburg, Kagan and Sotomayor.
Gloves are off now. The right has woken up to the fact that to beat the left, you have to fight like the left. I am looking forward to the first fistfight in the well of the House since Lyon and Griswold went at it.
Juice,

I hope he succeeds. Then I will self-identify as 67, get a court order to change my birth year, then start drawing social security and taking distributions from DB plans

Thanks guys. Its just outside of flood zone. So I’m OK with it. It is a good commuter town. We live here and are Ok with schools.. Just wondering a split level house, should I be concerned. In terms of marketability in future if needed..
