From the Realtors:
These High Tax States Could Benefit the Most From Higher SALT Deduction
There’s a new bill in Washington that’s become the subject of some ugly debate. In a surprising twist, the fate of the current House Republican tax package might hinge on a proposal to raise the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap.
Under current law, homeowners can deduct up to $10,000 in combined state income and property taxes on their federal return—a limit set by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. But that cap is set to expire, and a bloc of House Republicans from high-tax states like New York, New Jersey, and California are threatening to derail the package unless the SALT cap is raised or scrapped entirely.
The first version of the bill was voted down today, as hardline Republicans called for greater spending cuts and others insisted on increased SALT deductions. The current proposal would raise the deduction limit from $10,000 to $30,000, but some lawmakers are making the case that number still falls short of providing meaningful relief for their constituents. If the measure passes, however, here are the areas that can benefitthe most.

Our property taxes were over $12,000 a year when we sold our house in South Jersey. I‘m sure you guys up north are paying a lot more.
SALT reduction: I would think everyone here would welcome an increase from 10K to 30K? Is there an argument against?
550K ask, best and final by tonight. It’s a 1982 snapshot. Predict the hammer price on this one.

Ringwood, with a ‘3’ handle. It was reduced by 5K.

This locale tried to be many things over the years. I’m not sure what to do with it. I’m sure it will eventually be bulldozed and stuffed with muppet rental pods. We had a cabin on Canistear Road when I was an infant. I don’t remember it. We had property in Barry Lakes, sold in the mid 80s. As for this property, it says “Unit 1” which I’m not really sure what that means. Why don’t we all pitch in and buy it? :)

Chad: NJ likes high property taxes, it’s a status symbol. We get ok schools , and crappy infrastructure,roads, mass transit etc.
Phoenix,
The facts are facts. I could end their lease, but i have a heart, and understand they won’t be able to find a place to live. Aka either move out of their area or live on the streets . They are lucky they have a caring empathetic landlord. Those are the facts.
I chase money for freedom, but I understand the dark side. I am not trying to chase massive money to die with….no way, no how. That’s a waste of time. Just enough to say f u to anyone….freedom to do what I want, when i want. That’s worth chasing.

GP,
You keep it because you are greedy. You either want the income, or don’t want to pay taxes on profit, or better yet, both.
Bottom line is you aren’t doing this out of the goodness of your heart.
You like, breathe, eat and sleep money.
But if you put that house up for sale, then some poor, underpaid teacher could buy it.
In fact, you could post it on your bulletin board at work so only teachers can get the deal.
That’s the truth.
Fast: That listing is in Park Ridge, big apartment development coming there and Woodcliff Lake. Everyone wants to live here, so this is how you do it, stuff them in pods.
It’s not a jersey thing….happening to the other states now. I tried explaining that would happen to Texas and Florida all last decade, but people are fools. Now i read headlines of them complaining about their property taxes that are higher than jersey. There is no free ride…

Rename Bergen County to Brooklyn County. Kings County is taken. When do we see street walkers on Kinderkamack Road?
Woodcliff Lake is being renamed to Tremont. Deals are happening by the Causeway, in that wooded section. Real shit happenin’ yo.
Parents ruin it for the kids.

I’ve got an 8 year old in youth sports in an upper middle class Suburb and let me tell you – parents, as a whole, are THE WORST. Everyone acts like their kid is going to make a career out soccer, baseball, etc. when in reality the odds of literally under 1%.
Youth sports as an industry is a huge part of the problem. Everyone feels pressured to get their kids into a travel league and once there, you better not talk about playing a different sport, no time for that noise.
The days of kids just playing sports to have fun and learn what it means to be part of a team are quickly dwindling.
Then the parents wonder how and why little Timmy developed an opioid addiction
quotes from story
GP,
You chase money for freedom, but then you complain about the exact thing you are causing.
There are other ways to chase money. Other ways to work and make money.
Not saying you are a bad landlord.
Just realize you are part of the problem, not the cure. Now mind you, it doesn’t mean if you sell the next owner won’t do the same thing.
It’s a system. It’s your government. It breeds all of the shite that goes on.
And it profits from it.
Anything good the founding fathers wanted for this shithole is long gone. And the paper they wrote that “Constitution” on is turning into Charmin Soft.
Wipe your ass with it, cause all of the words on there are going to be undone one at a time. It’s eroding like all of America’s infrastructure.
I will say this for New Jersey: of all the states I drive in between New England and Delaware (and I drive a lot), New Jersey has the best roads.
Pennsylvania roads are pretty bad (and there’s been no major improvements in decades except for sections of 95 and 202) and Massachusetts roads are a moonscape.
So there’s that.
Fast: I have been saying for years, that Bergen Co needs to stop pretending it’s a leafy bucolic suburban area, and just combine into one city and be done with it.
I was in Whole Foods the other day, as my wife needed something from there, and the construction/ renovation is going full speed. I don’t know what kind of chaos it will be when they finish stuffing the 600 apartments in there. The traffic now is a nightmare. Traffic in Paramus is backed up on Midland, Forest etc on a weekday at 1:00 PM. I thought these people were all back in the office or on hybrid schedules. Maybe it was a hybrid schedule day, I don’t know, same with Kinderkamack Rd, backed up in the middle of the afternoon.
Another apartment development plan was approved in Oradell on Kinderkamack Rd,after being rejected several times by the town. 20 plus apartments and retail below stuffed into the old Subaru dealership. The block behind the dealership will now have the apartment complex looming over them in their backyards.
Interestingly though, I am seeing quite a few big Mc Mansions looking quite shabby, unmoved lawns, cracked driveways, and plastic covering windows instead of shades. And still fill in building here and there of those awful black and white farmhouse things being built.
Dark,
I think it was all of those parents I had in mind when I absolutely refused to buy a house in Summit decades ago. I remember thinking to myself that there wasn’t a single person I met in Summit that I didn’t want to take a baseball bat to.

I found just about every parent, make that person, I met in a blue ribbon district to be insufferable.
10:39, there’s another way to look at it. GP is providing affordable rentals to folks who wouldn’t be able to afford to buy.
That said, I do have a problem with investors ganging up together to buy vast swathes of properties and running like a mafia.

Can’t afford to buy cause due to a shortage caused by owners there is a shortage.
Because of the shortage, caused by landlords, folks can’t afford to buy.
Folks can’t afford to buy, due to a shortage of rentals caused by landlords owning too many homes.
Sure, yeah, not onboard with this totally, but without a doubt this is a problem.
Oh, and a question:
When an old skankly lady gets a house from the death of her husband, puts it in a trust to avoid taxes, then strings up a wire that a silly tresspassing kid runs into and gets decapitated by, does the trust get sued or the skanky old lady who lives there?
Skanky cheap old lady was warned. Too cheap to put up a fence. Silly kid did dopey thing, now ded.
Hope the old geezer believes in God or Jesus, and she sees that kid’s head bleeding in her nightmares forever.

Fast: I don’t recall it being so bad during mid day. It took me under a half hour to get from Riverdale in the Bronx yesterday to Paramus. It took 20 minutes to get from Paramus to Maywood! By the way if you are ever in Riverdale take a drive through Fieldstone right next door. It is a beautiful private community built in the 1920s. There are some magnificent homes there.

According to Google’s Data Commons project, the U.S. is home to roughly 340.11 million people.
If they divvied up the country’s $160.35 trillion jackpot equally, each would have about $471,465. That’s $942,930 per couple. If a couple had two kids, the four of them would be sitting pretty with $1.89 million.

Because it’s effectively a subsidy for high-tax states?
Because it reduces the pressure on high-tax states to live within their means?
Because it acts as an additional subsidy to already heavily subsidized wealthy homeowners?

Thanks for the kind words. Not just for me, but for that guy as well.
His kids may be stepping into a world of hell also, since she was stepping out.
I was eavesdropping on some of my female co-workers the other day, by accident, listening one of them complain that another one of them broke the “female code” of cheating ethics. IOW keep your mouth shut about their strategy to use doctors to by them stuff.
Most of them don’t want to work. Feminism told them they should strive to be equals, but most are starting to realize work sucks, and are actively searching for a resident or doctor to support them. In the meantime, they will settle for drinks, free meals, and vacations. No photos of this, they want no evidence that any money /gifts/vacations have changed hands. They then pretend to be repulsed by many of the physicians they took advantage of. Or bitch and say they suck, are too slow. or whatever. Funny how many female nurses have opinions on physicians, yet are too lazy themselves to become one.
They think they are smarter than them, but instead of actually putting in the work to become one, they badmouth them. Fucc that shit.
Today’s women have no respect for anything. Not doctors, not individuals, not fast food workers.
And least of all, not themselves.
So many are just parasites. Here is a guy who got killed by one, and her creepy FBI dad, trying to take children from him that she never birthed herself-justice for him was that this beech and her dad only got 4 years for killing him and leaving his children with no parents:
The story of how an Irish father-of-two was bludgeoned to death by his second wife and her ex-FBI father will be explored in an upcoming Netflix documentary.

Jason had been beaten with a baseball bat and concrete brick, sustaining so many injuries a coroner was unable to count them all.

3b,
I’m just reporting what I see and hear. Not all scenarios match all people. Some people get into jobs because they think it’s one thing and turns out to be another. Or parent/peer pressure. Or enjoyment of a science. A suggestion by a guidance counselor, or a test that tells them where they academically belong.
But what is said in a breakroom is what is said. People are not just their careers, they are their personality and ubbringing as well.

A vacationing Jeep driver who deliberately mowed down 25 seagulls on a beach has been jailed for 30 days.
James Shephard Travis, 64, pleaded guilty to first-degree animal cruelty and reckless driving in Pacific County Superior Court in Washington.
He faced up to five years in jail and a $10,000 fine, but accepted a plea bargain offered by prosecutors and was locked up in the county jail.
Travis slaughtered the seagulls about 8pm on July 27 last year on Klipsan Beach near Ocean Park, Washington, in front of shocked beachgoers.
Witnesses said the rented silver Jeep Wrangler was ‘drifting sideways past stuck vehicles and people’ at 50mph to 60mph.
A mother and nine-year-old son said they were almost run over while walking their dogs as the SUV sped up and down the beach.
How you know you have a dopey cuntry. One guy has an opinion, 3 zillion drone followers without a brain swarm the place thinking he is the guru on something as simple as pizza.
I understand group reviews. They make sense.
I think this guy could tell them the best pizza is at the bottom of the Brooklyn Bridge and they would jump.
Maybe that’s what happened with that ship.
Portnoy gave the shop’s cheese pie a 9.2 — one of the highest scores ever handed out in his One Bite series.
“I can’t remember the last time I gave out a 9,” he said.
Ceres was launched by chefs Jake Serebnick and Julian Geldmacher, both formerly of Eleven Madison Park, one of New York’s most iconic fine dining spots. The pair started experimenting with pizza during the pandemic, taking four years to find the right space in what Portnoy called a “hipster area” of the city.
The pizzeria — named after a wild type of yeast — had already started gaining buzz after being featured on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” in April. But things exploded after Portnoy’s review.
According to the “New York Post,” Ceres has quickly become “New York’s most talked about slice.” In the days following the review, the shop has reportedly been selling out.
One X user, Adam Fern, posted a photo of the crowd and wrote:
“Dude. Wtf @barstoolsports @stoolpresidente — you ruined my favorite pizza spot. The line is fully down the block now.”
