From NJBIZ:
Northeast office markets post lower vacancies, higher rents
While occupancy rates may be less certain comparatively, a new report finds all Northeastern markets posted vacancy rates below the national average (19.7%) in April.
CommercialEdge’s May 2025 Office Market Report, released May 20, highlights Manhattan as having the lowest regional vacancy rate (16.2%), followed by New Jersey at 18.9%. The local figure represented a slight uptick, following an 80-basis-point annual increase in the Garden State.
Among other trends, the paper notes an overall shift in demand toward suburban locations as central business districts continue to struggle; as well as a continued slowdown in office construction. According to the report, just 2.8 million square feet of sector space got started nationwide in April.
In New Jersey, both well-connected downtown areas – like Morristown, where Sanofi just moved from Bridgewater – as well as updated, trophy office parks in the burbs have recently drawn tenants.
“Every market is unique and nuanced, but the overarching trend that downtowns are struggling with less office workers and higher office vacancy is consistent across the country,” noted Peter Kolaczynski, director, CommercialEdge.
…
Rents in the Northeast did drop over the period; however, CommercialEdge noted local regions still rank among the priciest nationwide.
Manhattan led the pack (in the Northeast and across the U.S.), with average asking rents at $68.34 per square foot. Even with its 4.1% annual decrease, that was still well above the national average of $33.34 per square foot. Boston and New Jersey also surpassed that benchmark. The former posted price points of $46.06 per square foot, while the Garden State was just above it at $33.45 per square foot.
First!
Liberal, progressive areas attract the greatest talent.
Ain’t that the truth.

A junk-rated US Treasury? Markets ‘care’ about that
There are good reasons why markets took the latest U.S. credit rating downgrade on the chin, but that will offer cold comfort to investors warily eyeing the country’s deteriorating fiscal health.
A FEW NOTCHES ABOVE JUNK
But the problem with Bessent’s ‘who cares?’ argument is that it doesn’t account for the fact that the market thinks the U.S. credit rating should be far lower.
It turns out, investors really do ‘care’.
Using credit default swaps pricing as an input, S&P Global’s Capital IQ model puts the U.S. sovereign credit rating 6 notches lower than its current grade – all the way down to BBB+ – barely clinging to investment grade status, never mind AAA.
That’s good. They can control you, watch you, and fuck you better than they could yesterday.

“I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful. But I don’t know if it could be both.”
Tech billionaire Elon Musk tells CBS Sunday Morning’s @Pogue he was “disappointed” to see the Trump-backed “big beautiful” spending bill, which passed in the House last week.
Musk said he believes the legislation “increases the budget deficit” and “undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.”
VSG
In order for grifting, you need to spend.
Hopefully he will run America better than he ran Trump Shuttle. Some facts:
1. The company was never profitable.
2. The airline ran out of cash and defaulted on its debt in September 1990.
3. Trump had personally guaranteed $135 million of the shuttle’s debt.
4. Bankers involved in the negotiations said that Trump would be relieved of at least $100 million of his guarantee, and possibly as much as $110 million, leaving him owing between $25 and $35 million in the closing out of his ownership of the company.
“We will learn more about all this as time goes by: first, in aides’ memoirs, where they will, for money, traffic the pitiable incidents and sad details they knew about at the time, and helped conceal; and secondly, through archival disclosure, as we get our hands on the White House memoranda, emails, and texts that will show the day-to-day mechanics of the cover-up—and maybe answer the question of who was running the country.”
And who used the auto pen? And why were climate executive orders signed without slo joe ever discussing them? What about the other EOs he couldn’t ‘remember’ signing? Who was running the country? The Oversight Committee is going to have a lot to investigate. You thought J6 was bad? The dems said, “hold my beer.”
big bada boom on the rocket
Looks like Chamath is following Elon in calling out the Big Bullshit Bill for what it is.
Boy, did MAGA get f*ked or what.
And the turd saying he’s going after Harvard to protect american kids is such a scam. He’s cutting back on student loans and everything around it and packaging it as good for MAGA.
What a scam!
Well when the rich get rich, Trump gets richer. Glad half the country supports this crook. And he does it so brazenly at this point. Why? Cause his supporters would lick his shoes even after he steps on all of the bullshit he speaks of.
It’s really a shame too. A shitty Trump means the Dems can continue with their terrible governance. Was really hoping the Dems would have to straighten the ship to get reelected. Appears now, all they have to do is run on the same old tired agenda. Lord help us if they double down on their own bullshit.
I know many said Trump would ditch Musk, but it looks like Musk is ditching Trump?
Are we great yet? The show rolls on. About this gas guzzling, newly acquired 747 from the Muslims whom he used to have a travel ban on. How is he going to fit this in a library/museum? Right, it’s not going right into Trump’s pockets like everything. But the AUTOPEN! You are aware, Trump has used it too. But in MAGA world, what’s good for the goose, well, you know. Trump, the cult leader is immune.
Well Tesla IS one of the worst performing stocks over the last three years. It’s no wonder Trump appointed him. Plus, he appeared on SNL. If you’ve been on TV, you meet the number one MAGA qualification. Shame Sesame Street was cancelled. I heard Trump wanted Big Bird to run the Department of Agriculture.
General Lee: “You must look to your liberal party and resist!”

Regarding the Biden Scandals, as Mr. Average American I do agree with some who are saying these scandals are bigger than Watergate. Looked at as a whole from the influence peddling overseas, the Hunter Biden Laptop cover up, the phoney Russian collusion scam, the weaponization of the legal system against a political opponent, the cover up of the physical and mental deterioration of Biden, and unknown and unelected bad actors actually running the last administration, this is likely the biggest political scandal of all time worldwide. This was the total destruction of democracy by those saying their political opponent was a threat to democracy. Its just incredible.

It’s amazing how Dems blame Trump for losing their power….clueless to how lost they are to the avg American. You created Trump with your bs policies…
Should have just focused on education (the basics not the woke bs). Focused on jobs. Focus on helping citizens as opposed to immigrants. It’s not rocket science. Just do something for the people that elect you…

President Donald Trump snapped at a reporter after getting a ‘nasty’ question about ‘chickening out’ by repeatedly threatening tariffs only to relax or postpone them.
A reporter asked Trump about a new acronym making the rounds on Wall Street about the ‘TACO trade’, which stands for ‘Trump Always Chickens Out.’
The president has made a habit of threatening massive tariffs on nations and industries around the world, which send markets plunging, before he ‘chickens out’ days later and doesn’t actually go ahead with the levies.
This has reportedly been noticed by investors who buy the dip in the markets and wait for Trump to walk back on his threats, sending their stocks soaring up again.
When confronted with the mocking term on Wednesday, Trump denied that he had buckled and said he won concessions due to the pressure of his tariffs.
Trump then fumed at the reporter for the bold question, saying: ‘Don’t ever say what you said.’
People are sheep. They are so many idiots in the world. The trick is not to marry one. That’ll mean less chances of spawning one. The population is in big trouble and Trump will only make matters much, much worse. No, I don’t think that the Dem’s have any idea what they are doing and might need a massive overhaul in order to appeal to anyone what isn’t woke.
Omg! Thank goodness they held Trump back. I never saw him go after someone like this! They almost ripped his jacket as he was screaming. Did you hear the audible gasps from the crowd in the room? I think he’s losing it!!!

All of those things would require that you actually respect, or care about, the people that make less than you (the politician). It would require that you don’t accept bribes, favors, nepotism. It would require that you stand up to special interests and fight for the majority. It would require that you be an actual patrioit, not a puppet for other countries that try to control you.
None of that is possible for either the Democraps or the Repukes. And if someone else ever makes it in, they will get the JFK treatment.

Lib,
Biden‘s replacement also has issues, however he was the one that was elected by the public and I believe he is the one making decisions for the administration. I‘m very disappointed that the war in the Ukraine is still going on. This is only needless death for both Russia and the Ukraine. Neither side has the ability to accomplish their stated objectives of the war. I am happy that the administration is taking on China to some degree. No one else has attempted this and it remains to be seen what happens. The Chinese however always play the long game in contrast to the west.

Lib: The Democrats suck, and their is no alternative. The Democrats told us vote for Kamala Harris she is great, well she is not, and that’s why Trump who should not have won the election, did. And the Democrats are still parading Harris around, although I don’t think she will be the candidate in 2028. Will it be AOC, as of now, (and its way too early) she is a serious contender. That is frightening. The Democrats need to offer a real credible candidate, but they won’t the strategy is will she (Harris)/he is better or will be better than Trump/Vance. That’s all we have?? Vote for our guy/gal,because it least its not the other guy/gal. The great decline of this country continues.
Chad: As per the WSJ, Russia’s economy is going well now that they have switched to producing military equipment/arms etc. And, Russian soldiers are being paid well by Russian standards. Russia is also capturing more territory, so for the meantime the war will continue. As for Trump and he would end the war in 24 hours, well that was a ridiculous comment, and anyone that believed it was stupid.
No one else has attempted this…
One needs to go back before Oblommy was (p)resident to see anything getting done. The Obamy and O’Biden regimes were nothing but soundbites by liberal scabs for liberal louts. Vibes and joy around apple trees amidst honey bees was a symbol of success. Don’t try anything risky, you may catch flack. The liberal fops don’t have the stomach to deal with it. In comes Trump and slams the border door shut, tells the world to fucking pay up and uses a nail gun to pound common sense into people’s heads. Meanwhile, the lefty loons squeal from their rubber rooms until the afternoon dose kicks in.
Taco Trump he ran away.
Bravely ran away away.

OY: Not questioning Trump’ s stupid, simply pointing out the stupidity of Harris. And the audacity of the Democrats to tell Americans she would make a great President. She is an embarrassment like Trump.
All you have on Harris is she is a babbling idiot. But you forget that she was a high functioning AG who got things done – whether you agree or not. She could have rounded up all the corporate felons and made our lives better – but America did not deserve her. MAGA voted for the worst con ever (and those idiots that didn’t vote) and we will all pay for it.
Taco Trump: Harris was and is an idiot, and that’s not taking away from all that’s bad about Trump. How Harris was AG for all those years, probably boils down to other people doing her job/ covering for her. Anyone that has spent years in corporate America knows full well all the idiots that were in high positions, and were complete morons.

Harris was a terrible candidate. She did incredibly poorly in the primaries and her political career highlight was calling Biden a racist. She lied and continues to lie about her upbringing. She did not grow up poor. She did not suffer from forced integration. She slept her way to her AG appointment and since going to high school in Canada, had not left the country since leaving her extremely weak on foreign affairs. The fact she was appointed and not elected in a primary just added to her ineluctability. As an AG, she was not tough on crime, but a supporter of failed bail reform and often sided with the “defund the police” crowd as state AG. As Veep, she was asked to play border Czar, where she did absolutely nothing. Then, when campaigning for POTUS and with the largest war chest I ever witnessed, she was more of a one-trick pony than Hilary was. Same old dumb stories of a tough childhood, being a woman, blah, blah, blah. If I hear the term, middle-class or working class uttered one more time by someone who hasn’t driven a car in their last 30 years, I’m gonna puke. Sorry, but she was a terrible choice when the cities were being destroyed by black shoplifters, graffiti artists, looters and the homeless. Then the Dem leadership decides to run a black woman? Gary is right about one thing. The party is completely lost right now. But as lost as they are, they will dominate the mid terms. Trump is a perennial loser with everything he has always done. He is crass, unlikable and dumb. But he is very good at enriching himself. Never saw anything like it.
Fab: I don’t know why you always have this knee jerk reaction. And always make assumptions, as with your latest one , “who am I carrying the water for”. The answer of course is for no one unlike yourself.
Now to address your supposed point, I said there was an article in the WSJ this morning discussing how the Russian economy is doing well having converted to a war economy. It also notes the relatively high pay for soliders , as well as bonuses. The article goes on to state that because of this , Putin is in no hurry to end the war. Perhaps, you believe the WSJ is carrying the water that you speak of.
Taco Trump is going to find out he is no king. Will he throw a tantrum – of course.
As long as we have imbeciles like 3b slithering around the facts and Fast Eddie, besting his chest – the tantrums will go on.
But we are about to find out if we are a democracy or a kingdom.
8:21 – was Harris not able to convince people she was genuine – yes.
Even if she wanted to run the country down – she wouldn’t be able to unlike Taco – who is really capable of fucking up the country as is obviously evident.
Even his buddy Musk thinks the BS bill will ruin us.
Rent: Really,the only one slithering is you . That and playing suck up.What offended you , my comments about Harris? It’s true, but your frozen little brain can’t acknowledge it.
I note that Lib has a scathing indictment of Harris, and you say nothing. I guess you are disappointed in Lib for saying that, and hope it was just a momentary lapse. Anyhow, you are an insufferable little man, with no ability to think for himself, you just hungrily devour the BS and crap that Democrats throw out there. You are the flip side of a hard core MAGA supporter.
Rent: Harris was not genuine, she was an embarrassment. The fact you are a fan is not surprising. Two empty heads.
30 years in business. One of the hottest stops in Hudson County. At 14 years old, I was scrubbing bushels of muscle shells and washing pots so big, you can take a bath in them. I have many stories to tell; friends of Sinatra, a famous stand-up comic a who was a regular, Frank Vincent stopping by, a famous line from a Scorsese movie born, Fordham U. professors discussing politics with members of the Westies… you guys have no fucking idea my history. The script of the movie “Rocky” based a certain friend… that’s not even scratching the surface. Hey VSG, go fuck yourself.
Fast: Yeah, ok, but you were not wearing $4,000.00 suits, so there’s that.
What’s the dem platform going forward?
Perhaps, you believe the WSJ is carrying the water that you speak of.
Ding Ding Ding we have a winner, that proves that even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
The only time I generally respond to a WSJ article in here is when Chi posts one of those Peggy Noonan diatribe OpEds. The WSJ is now the NYPost for those that think they are intellectual. You in that group?
“Anyhow, you are an insufferable little man” Ad Holmium, never seen that in here NOT. If you cant stick to the argument, then pass.
” Putin is in no hurry to end the war” I’ll agree with this. If you still have resources and a retreat or ceasefire will make you look week, lets guess the stance?
3b,
TDS at it’s best. They’re suffocating on their own shit and the hefty laughter grows every time they try to make a point. I can only imagine how loud the laughter is when the lurkers read their brainless slop.
Gary,
It’s really no different when I post my endless diatribes about Trump’s corruption and all you got is Biden shits his diapers.
What’s the democrat platform going forward?
As to what are the Dems plans? That’s an easy one. Put out the Trump burning tire fire and repair everything he broke.
All of those moronic (illegal) executive orders. Revoked.
Day one.
You good with Trump spending 1 billion of your tax dollars outfitting an ancient inefficient 747 for his personal use?
Right. More crickets.
The ruling from a three-judge panel at the New York-based Court of International Trade came after several lawsuits from Democratic-led states and a group of small businesses argued Trump had wrongfully invoked an emergency law to justify the levies.
The court agreed.
‘The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs,’ the court wrote, referring to the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
This blog had a fantastic run.
All the best, folks.
There’s no love lost between the left & the right on this board.
The overlap here are cars, guitars, and rock music.
Fab: So the WSJ is now the NY Post. You really are blinded. Away from that comment you took a pretty straight forward article about the Russian economy and the war in Ukraine, and turned it into some type of Trump / right wing nonsense, when I think you initially missed that I noted it was a WSJ article. Rather than acknowledge that, you turned it into some twisted Trump , pro Russia, anti Ukraine thing.
As for my comment about the other poster being an insufferable little man, well I believe he is. I typically ignore him, but he if he makes a comment about me , I will respond.
🤣

Don’t have to leave anywhere. We will continue
– giving Fox personalities a role in this mediatic admin
– waiting the tariff revenue being refunded since they were deemed void, as the Orange Taco Turd hero.
– watching Elon and Orange officially broken up, kids left with Elon, Orange will pay alimony
– hearing so many financial regulations removed as BNPL, student loan, preditory lending will crash and burn many
– collecting taxes on non-cash tips and social security regardless of what the state media tells us.
Watchya gonna do about it.
Nutttin.
Amerikkkans put him in charge. Oopsy

Both the left and the right wrestle with the same dilemma – each side convinced it holds the moral high ground.
The next Meta will be the one that cracks this political NP-hard problem. I still have hopes on that it could be NJReReport.
The French and CNN are blaming the Russians for Brigitte assaulting her child./Husband 🧒
Brigitte Macron assaulted her husband and then CNN blamed Russian disinformation.
Yes, CNN came in to help deflect the PR disaster for the first couple of France yesterday after Emmanuel Macron was humiliated by his very own wife who shoved him in front of the eyes of the world after landing in Vietnam.
DP – how do you know he doesn’t like it? The French accept it.. so should we ;-)
lol
Not me. I’ve never claimed the moral high ground. A true moderate realizes the polarized are all deluded azzholes.
They ain’t your friends, and you are on the menu.

Dude looked like the Lion from the Wizard of Oz when slapped in the face by Dorothy.
He generated a fist by the time he reached the bottom of the steps from the airplane.
How f’n embarrasing. I’d have thrown her down the stairs face first.

If directed at me, I was referring to the politicians, not the people on this blog.

Politicians need to be reigned in not enabled.
“Participants agreed that uncertainty about the economic outlook had increased further, making it appropriate to take a cautious approach until the net economic effects of the array of changes to government policies become clearer,” said the minutes.
The minutes strongly suggest the Fed isn’t close to lowering rates anytime soon. Instead, the meeting summary, released with the customary three-week delay, highlighted fears over a recipe for stagflation, where economic activity slows while price increases accelerate.
Between officials’ most recent meetings in mid-March and early May, President Trump ratcheted up tariffs on most U.S. trading partners before suspending some of the most aggressive hikes. The minutes released Wednesday provided a written account of how officials were digesting those initial moves.
Expectations of a rate cut at the Fed’s next meeting in mid-June declined after Fed Chair Jerome Powell said at a news conference after the last meeting that the costs of waiting to learn more about the economy were “fairly low.” In public comments since the meeting, Fed officials have roundly endorsed that view, implying a high bar for the Fed to cut interest rates.
Coward? F’n pussy lets his wife push him around. Dental floss dick.
Angry backlash over the chancellor’s seeming incoherence has been on full display in recent days, particularly as European allies try to project rhetorical resolve when it comes to helping Ukraine.
“Europe clearly faces a moment when it will be necessary not to be cowards,” French President Emmanuel Macron said this week, in comments that appeared to be aimed at Scholz.
TACO Trump.
Whimpy Macron.
These two dolts are going to start WW3.
One with bone spurs.
One who gets whipped by it’s mother.
Joel Le Scouarnec, the former surgeon who has admitted sexually abusing hundreds of patients, mostly children, between 1989 and 2014 has been sentenced to a maximum term of 20 years in jail.
Le Scouarnec was dressed in black as he stood emotionless in court listening to judge Aude Burési deliver the verdict. In March, he admitted sexually abusing all 299 victims.
Judge Burési said the court had taken into account the fact that the former surgeon had especially sought out unwell, vulnerable and sedated victims.
The sentence has a mandatory minimum term of two-thirds – and because Le Scouarnec has already served seven years, he may be eligible for parole by 2030.

Harvard was paying this fraudster 1 million a year for meaningless fabricated work on social sciences. This is possible when they were siphoning off 70% of the money from their scientific grants that were supposed to go to actual research.
