From NJ Digest:
How Much Salary Do You Really Need to Buy a House in New Jersey in 2025? A New Report Has the Answer
A new analysis from New Jersey real estate expert Robert Dekanski of Re/Max looks to answer a question on every NJ renter’s mind: how much do I have to make to afford a home in New Jersey?
The results are blunt, to say the least.
Dekanski’s 2025 breakdown found that the average household must earn $152,186 annually to afford a typical New Jersey home. If that sounds expensive to you, you’re right. That number makes NJ the ninth most expensive place to purchase a house in the nation.
It’s not the same in every corner of New Jersey—location within the state comes with large swings in price. The same exact house may require up to $50,000 more in income than its South Jersey counterpart. Property taxes, the highest in America, can add a major burden to those in the market, often increasing monthly housing costs by 15 to 20 percent.
Dekanski’s report shows that getting approved for a mortgage in New Jersey isn’t just about the list price. Taxes, insurance and a higher general cost-of-living push affordability to its limit.
…
In Bergen County, the median home price sits around $790,000, requiring roughly $180,000 to $200,000 in annual income to afford. Morris County buyers face salary expectations of $155,000 to $170,000 for a median home price of around $723,000. Somerset County’s median of $680,000 translates to a needed income of about $145,000 to $160,000. Essex County hovers between $140,000 and $155,000 for a $705,000 median house. All things considered, Union County comes in on the low end, but still requires roughly $135,000 to $150,000 to land a home priced somewhere around $695,000.
…
Because of its beach access, Monmouth County remains expensive. Monmouth County also remains connected to NYC with commuter options, further driving price. Buyers in the Shore county need between $165,000 and $180,000 for a median home price of $710,000. Middlesex County delivers a better balance: a median price of roughly $555,000 and an income requirement slightly lower, around $130,000 to $145,000. Amenities, job centers and transit access keep demand strong, but your dollar should still go much further in Central Jersey than in the North.
…
With a median home price around $270,000, Cumberland County requires only $55,000 to $65,000 in annual income to afford a home. Salem County is similar, with $58,000 to $68,000 needed for a median $265,000 home. Warren County offers a similar story—$425,000 median home price requiring about $85,000 to $95,000 in income. However, the lower costs come with a tradeoff: these areas of New Jersey offer fewer major employers and longer commuting times.
Damn Florida, Miami falls to a female democrat? Trump’s stamp of approval on a republican candidate is clearly now a death sentence.

Why are my hard earned tax dollars going to bailout farmers who overwhelmingly voted for the predicament they’re now in?
Is actually what I expected of King Orange Pinocchio. A loudmouth, corrupt, amoral, turd of a black hole just will keep making a mess of everything around him.
There is more to come, unfortunately. The three big ones are. Gigantic military failures. Gigantic backfires in the economy. A Tianamen Square like massacre.

VSG,
Regarding farmers. NPR had a great report on it.
Those dumbasses dont realize that they are the low wage sharecroppers again. Oligopolies control all the supplies they need. And monopsonies control who they sell to. Both side manage prices to squeeze their last dollar. Best is that federal aid does not go to them directly but to cancel their debts. Big Ag rigs the game for them to be kept as poor as possible.

Delete the land below I-195 and we’re number one all around. The only positive here is that it keeps the riff raff in check. Disclaimer: the term “Riff Raff” covers a wide range of muppets so don’t assume.
Just so we’re clear: Trump slaps tariffs on China. China refuses to buy our soybeans. Trump sends $40B of our money to Argentina. Argentina discounts their soybeans, surging sales to China. Trump spends $12B of our money to bailout American farmers.

“The Trump administration is set to require foreign tourists to hand over the past five years of their social media history in order to enter the United States.”
Young people tax dollars are going to bailout farmers who overwhelmingly voted for the man who bankrupted them. Farmers need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop relying on the government assistance they are against.
Boomer Remover,
Daily Mail.
And as much as this is a sensationalist newspaper for some things, this isn’t one of them.
The Trump administration is set to require foreign tourists to hand over the past five years of their social media history in order to enter the United States.
The drastic move was the latest attempt by President Donald Trump to scrutinize those entering the country, after an immigration freeze from 19 countries was announced last week.
The ‘mandatory’ notice was published by Customs and Border Protection on Tuesday in the Federal Register.
Social media data would be required for any people entering the United States, including countries like the United Kingdom and Germany who don’t mandate visas for travel.
It follows a June announcement by the State Department that ordered travelers to make their social media profiles public.
Expect a blowback.
Wanna visit Canada or Mexico? Hand over your papers, American.

You voted for this.
Russians didn’t pull the lever for you, don’t blame them.
Chinese didn’t pull the lever for you, you walked into the booth alone and shut the curtain. No Chinese or Russian guy pointing a gun in your back as you scanned your choices.
You made your bed, now you can sleep in it.
Your handlers have your entire lives documented in data centers.
Welcome to the American version of Black Mirror. You get to live it first hand.
Americans like chips so much, just wait till Trump demands they insert one into your body.
Bill Gates, like most of the handlers, always made their money from Government assistance, Government contracts, Government deals. Gates, Bezos, Thiel, Musk, the list goes on and on.
Each one firmly attached to the Government teat like a weaning puppy.

Hehe. Pencils. Mt Airy Lodge, the place of those commercials where in the 80’s you took your 20 year old girlfriend to the heart shaped hot tub with the shag red carpeting.
I guess he was thinking of Karoline Leavitt, “the lips that don’t stop.”
He had charts that he read from, touting economic data. The stage around him was filled with signs reading, “Lower Prices Bigger Paychecks.” He introduced Pennsylvanians who he said had more take-home pay because of his policies.
But if he was supposed to launch a speaking tour to connect with Americans struggling with higher prices and stagnant wages, President Donald Trump didn’t hesitate to veer off course.
He mocked the word “affordability,” touted how high the stock market had risen and said Americans didn’t need so many pencils.
Instead, the 90-minute speech was a greatest hits of his campaign trail appearances — complimenting the power of his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and “the lips that don’t stop” of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt
Trump also returned to a comment he made earlier in his presidency, saying that Americans needed to go without.
“You know, you can give up certain products. You can give up pencils,” he said, suggesting that he was focused on promoting American-made steel while China was focused on providing multiple pencils to its citizens.
“You always need steel. You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter,” he said. “Two or three is nice, but you don’t need 37 dolls. So, we’re doing things right. We’re running this country right well.”

Donald Trump is backing a GOP proposal depositing $1,500 checks into the health care accounts of millions of Americans.
The legislation, which is being led by Republican Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy and Idaho Senator Mike Crapo, gives qualifying Affordable Care Act (ACA) enrollees a $1,000 deposit for those aged 18 to 49, as well as recipients aged 50 to 64 for $1,500.
While speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday, the president signaled he would support the bill.
‘I like the concept. I don’t want to give the insurance companies any money,’ Trump said. ‘They’ve been ripping off the public for years.’
Fast: That listing in Manchester is much nicer than many of the ones you post form prestigious and haughty Bergen county. It has been updated, and it is neat and clean. Just saying.

Some Americans behavior in Europe is awful. Overall they would take Americans over Brits. Nobody in Europe appears to like the Brits.
Dark: Trumps social media access requirement for foreign visitors to the USA will be a disaster. There is a 60 day public comment period, so hopefully it dies. For every stupid thing Trump does, it helps the radical left in 2028. And they will want vengeance .

We’ve raised our kids with almost no screens other than TV. Now that they have had access to YouTube from this 1 to 1 Chromebook policy at school, they try to engage in the mindless scrolling through short videos. They don’t even laugh…it’s all stupid videos. We’ve noticed a drop in the IQ after a few days of this nonsense. We are at a point where I’m going to make them lock up the Chromebook at home. The internet by and large lowers people’s intelligence unless they are actually using it for something productive.
Just commenting, not lecturing.
You can’t project your opinions on the world.
A lot of the world (especially Europe) are dealing with the same problems as here.
A great number of people externally admire Trump and his (outward) strength.
Especially people that are ESL, they don’t fully appreciate how cringeworthy the raw sewage that comes out of his mouth actually is.
Even the overt corruption, self-dealing and influence peddling is actually commonly accepted, if not expected.
In some circles, Trump is actually considered more honest, because he doesn’t make any effort to hide the shameless graft. We have tons of people of supposedly high moral character that are doing all kinds of things in the background.

The church response is funny.
Hey, sorry, they ain’t ours.
The church’s response on their website in case anyone wants to read it.
“A Place of Welcome, Love, and Respect
Recent events have prompted discussions about safety, respect, and how we engage with those outside our congregation. It appears that visitors to our place took it upon themselves to accost a man on the sidewalk, and then drove off without coming into the church. We remain steadfast in our commitment to love and hospitality while also recognizing the importance of mutual respect in all interactions.
We invite anyone with questions or concerns to reach out. We are dedicated to fostering a community of faith that embraces all who seek fellowship, peace, and spiritual growth in knowing Jesus Christ. We believe in welcoming everyone with kindness and understanding.”
Drag her in for one crime, then deport her before she can be charged because of different crime.
In the meantime, China built 3 hospitals, 20 schools, and 300 ships. Oh, and gave all of their residents pencils and dolls.
Federal prosecutors spent over a year working to extradite a Belarusian woman accused of smuggling more than $2 million in sensitive U.S. aviation equipment into Russia as it waged war on Ukraine.
But the case could fall apart because the defendant, Yana Leonova, is now at risk of being deported before going to trial.
“Indeed, it is both preposterous and offensive for the government to bring someone into the United States against their will and then turn around and seek ICE detention because that person is here ‘illegally,’” U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui said in the written order. “The government needs to decide what its priorities are: ginning up deportation stats or prosecuting alleged criminals.”
Leonova’s authorization to remain in the country expired two weeks after she arrived, leaving the Russian resident, a citizen of Belarus, in an uncharted legal limbo. The immigration detainer gives Department of Homeland Security officials the ability to take Leonova into custody and begin deportation proceedings, and government officials initially told the court that they planned to do so if she was released from jail pending trial.

The study found that AI-enabled systems raised the prices on some identical products by up to 23% between two shoppers. CR discovered that AI pricing experiments were used by Instacart at several major supermarket chains, including Costco, Kroger, Safeway, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Target.
The variations ranged from just 7 cents per item to as much as $2.56.
“About three-quarters of the products we checked were offered at different prices to different customers,” CR’s investigative reporter Derek Kravitz wrote. “Some products were offered at as many as five different prices.”
Instacart confirmed CR’s findings but didn’t name which supermarkets were running the pricing tests.
I had the tv on last night while Trump went on a long rambling oratory supposedly about affordability. He really loves the sound of his own voice and loves the sound of trained seals clapping at him.
How many people actually enjoy it?
I heard him do a deep dive into his interpretation of Greg Gutfeld’s opinion of him and how it makes him feel.
It was pretty nuts. But mostly it was hard to bear. But so was Obama’s and Kamala’s and Biden’s oratories. US presidents have been the lowest of the low class of humans. I didn’t find Clinton’s speeches unbearable, even when I disagreed. Reagan’s speeches were pretty good. He and his team were pretty skilled at that, even better than they actually governed. Bush Sr was significantly weaker.
I never understood the people who claimed Obama was a great orator. He just pulled a lot of collectivist/altruist bromides out of his ass. Some people love that I guess. Like JFK with his “ask what you can do for your country” bs. Totally mediocre, no thrills down my spine. Dead before I was born.
I agree, Regan and Clinton were both excellent orators whether one agreed with them or not. Bush junior was also awful all his “hard work” rhetoric to name just one. Obama was just a wind bag, loved to hear himself speak, and I voted for him the first time around. Obama pretty much an empty suit, empty rhetoric. Biden not much to say there, but his cognitive decline was an issue. Trump just rambles on, incoherently most of the time. This is where we are as a country.

On 28 January, Wilson was standing at the Santa Fe station when another teenager approached him with a gun and started shooting. Wilson ran away from the gunfire and, as he fled, passed by officer Daniel Gold near the station corridor.
As seen on body-worn camera and surveillance footage released by police, Gold pulled out his gun and shot at Wilson’s back as he ran by within seconds of encountering him in the corridor. Footage captured Gold identifying himself as a police officer only after he opened fire.
Wilson was pronounced dead at the hospital 35 minutes later.

VSG – China booked about 25% of their commitment for USA Soybean purchases this month. However it’s a far cry from the Usual 50% of all soybeans produced by the USA.
Fact is there is a new competitor.. Brazil…They have upped their production nearly doubled it in the last decade to become the largets soybean producer in the world. Last year while Biden was president Brazil exported over 100 million metric tons of soybean to China while the US only exported 27 million metric tons. Brazil has in fact catered their investments to surpassing the USA in Soybean exports and their currency is cheaper making it a distinct advantage.
But you don’t care whether China gets a better deal or not or even buys a single bushel from the USA all you care is about cheap political points.
Reality is leverage in trade negotiations is required and we have little when it comes to China.

Hey VAG,
What did the market do today?
Obama was indisputably “one of the presidents ever”, and VSG has never made a truer statement.
VSG needs to check the dictionary on the meaning of “unanimously” – his use of it is factually untrue. Though not as big a lie as most of his mindless propaganda.
Plenty of Republicans voted for Obama, some because he often behind closed doors said soothing words of bipartisanship, and other stuff they wanted to hear. Some Republicans voted for Obama trying to convince themselves or others that they aren’t racists.

VSG: You and your big broad brush again. You have no idea how many Republicans if any voted against him simply because he was Black. That is just empty racist rhetoric on your part. As for Obama and his race, he was bi racial , not Black. Obama gave the bankers a slap on the wrist during the financial crisis when there should have been perp walks for some of these guys. He also did nothing except for some half hearted sanctions and a good scolding when Russia invaded Crimea/ Ukraine.

re: “Idiots…”
I agree this hick with a name like Fedotov said he did not vaccinate his four children. Listen to this southern hick Cletus tell us about hydration and recovering from Measles in two days. He can barley hide his slavic accent too.

Probably lower vaccination rates do the Covid-19 pandemic as well. First dose of MMR is 12 months and the second is four years. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted routine immunizations for sure these kids getting measles now are because people opted out during covid or could not get vaccinations.
Checking data from more advanced “Western” countrie back a few years parents problably skipped first, second or both doses.
In 2023, the average for receiving two doses of the measles vaccine in the EU was 88%. This average is a concern as it falls significantly short of the 95% target, creating immunity gaps that lead to outbreaks.
Ckecking some individual countries..
Uk 85% rate
Israel 87% rate
Canada 82% rate
USA 92.5% rate
Mexico 71% rate
Grim hate to tell ya some reports say reports for Poland year 2022 a lower rate of 80% and the lowest in Europe.
3B – “Is this a recent development?
Recent? Nope! Brazil has increased their farming output a 100-fold expansion from the 1970 to now. Have you never seen all those old infomercials to buy up Brazilian jungle so they cannot burn it for farmland?
Our farmers know about it because it’s all tracked by our very own USDA. Soybeans, Corn, Oranges, Coffee and other crops like Rice too.

They also get “Double Cropping” as in two growing seasons a year with no harsh winters….two full seasons in a row on the same land, they plant soy first then corn. You cannot do that in Iowa. Their soil right now is also perhaps more fertile, they don’t need to (yet) put down massive amounts of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium etc.
They have carved out a nice hole in the jungles since the 1970s an area larger than the country of France approx 177 million acres has been cleared for farming, very fertile land with two growing seasons and endless amounts of water and a favorable exchange rate compared to the dollar.
Dark – It’s all legal. A US federal judge authorized a seizure warrant for the tanker named “skipper” roughly two weeks ago.
We should be happy they did not fire Hellfire missiles. It would be too much of a beachfront mess for those holidaying in Aruba this holiday season. If you did not know Aruba is about 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela. There will be lots of beached whale Americans and plenty of Europeans there this winter. Maduro could find himself headed there for asylum in the EU and the Netherlands which own Aruba to save himself from a Seal Team or Hellfire death.
re: “I can retire in Cancun making tequila”
Wrong place for that. They don’t grow the Blue Agave there.
I have however read the next chapter of Blue Agave is outside of Mexico.
It takes years to grow the plant. Australia is trying.. They are perhaps too far outside the reach of the cartels to prevent them. Think Crocodile Dundee.
There is even an farm in India now.

A US federal judge could authorize the seizure of a martian’s spaceship. I guess that makes it okay for you?
Or maybe if the judge authorized a warrant for God’s wardrobe perhaps?
A Bergen County love story of exotic cars.
I have to say who else living in New Jersey would hand over the keys to their luxury cars to ( which are leased) to then be rented out again? Scammers all around…

Dark – “okay for you”
I think you know my answer. Hellfire missiles before warrants…..
A bunch of useless people doing useless things all trying to hustle for money instead of having a rewarding career.
All very American attributes. And the Chinese built another hospital, 2 cellphone towers, and 2000 cars during the same time period.

Sounds like hate to me. Hate makes one want to kill.
It’s like GOD gave an old man everything on his wish list for Christmas.

Phoenix – re: “Sounds like hate to me. ”
I attempted satire.. my apologies……
Phoenix – you on edge?
If there is something you want to talk about there is no stopping your here. Even I really begged Grim to his credit he has never booted anyone.

Juice,
The Brazilian soybean growth story has been around for a long time. Somebody had to grow the soybeans required to allow Chinese people to eat meat thrice a day versus once a week 40 years ago. But Brazilian farmers are still not so rich, and the Greens hate the associated deforestation.
Anyone hoping to turn a profit on CNN would try to change the editorial bias. Alleged tv journalism is crowded with overpaid leftist talking heads with shrinking audiences. To the credit of the American public who find them unappealing.
CBS says it’s trying to become more balanced.
Ready to set Jersey ablaze
Jeff Ross once schlepped to the Middle East. The comedian entertained sheikhs. Now back, he’s skewering his hometown state, or what’s left of it following the jailing of its gold-loving Sen. Menendez. The show’s “The Roast of New Jersey.” It’s Saturday, Feb. 28, at whatever’s Meridian Health Theatre in Red Bank. You can probably get a laugh and a colostomy at the same time. Ex-NFL guy, now WFAN radio guy Tiki Barber’s in the thing. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. But warning: The trip takes its toll.
