From the NY Post:

New Jersey Airbnb hosts charging $17K for weekend stays during the World Cup Final this summer

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final approaches, a small cluster of Airbnb listings near MetLife Stadium in New Jersey is testing how much fans will pay to stay close to the action.

Seven short-term rentals within a five- to 20-minute walk of the stadium — located in East Rutherford — are currently listed between $13,000 and nearly $17,000 for three nights over the July 17 to 20 championship weekend. The properties range from apartments to single-family homes — and are largely marketed toward group stays, emphasizing walkability, parking and sleeping capacity rather than luxury finishes.

The pricing stands out even within a region accustomed to major event surges, reflecting the scale of demand expected for the World Cup Final, which will cap a monthlong tournament hosted in cities across North America.

The most expensive Airbnb listings identified near the stadium share a similar profile: multi-bedroom layouts, free parking and accommodations designed for friends and families traveling together.

One two-bedroom, one-bath apartment listed for a cool $14,533 advertises sleeping for up to six guests, a game room and two parking spaces. Should six soccer fans want to cram into this perch, it would cost some $2,400 apiece for the stay.

Another two-bedroom apartment, priced at $13,797, highlights Manhattan skyline views, a balcony overlooking MetLife Stadium and the American Dream complex, plus transit access into New York City.

At the upper end of the range, a one-bedroom, one-bath home listed for $16,074 includes a queen bed, a pull-out sofa and a fully equipped kitchen — while a larger house listed for $14,590 features multiple queen beds and a private home theater. A three-bedroom apartment asking a high $16,125 emphasizes sleeping capacity, laundry, parking and proximity to nearby attractions.

The listings are positioned less as luxury accommodations and more as logistical conveniences for fans seeking to remain near the stadium throughout the weekend.

    Could this ICE in Minneapolis situation finally lead Vag/Art to begin to reconsider his fawning adoration for Big Government?

    A New Jersey island owned by a branch of Venezuela’s national oil company may soon be taken over by a loyal Donald Trump supporter.

    Petty’s Island, a 300-acre island in the Delaware River with sweeping views of Philadelphia, has been owned by Citgo Petroleum Corp for decades. Amber Energy is an affiliate of Elliott Investment Management, which was founded by Paul Singer.

    Singer and his firm have donated tens of millions to conservative political causes, including Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

    reconsider?

    ICE posts daily of who they arrest. You could show democrats anything to see for themselves & still won’t admit the truth. There is no hope for them they have blinders on.

    i would take my chances with either of these two compared to today.

    On the other hand the old Ex wasn’t that great anyway! Oh well! One for all and all for one, or something like that.

  9. NJCoast says:

    I remember when the Breeders Cup was at Monmouth Park everybody had jacked up rentals for their homes in the area including my sister. Not one offer. The weekend was a complete wash out, literally torrential rain for three days.
    I guess I’ll never get back the juicer Bob Weir “borrowed” from me back in the 90’s. RIP.

  10. SmallGovConservative says:

    Are there any NJ Dem stooges that are still all-in on the Green New Deal — after checking their December PSEG bill?

  11. 3b says:

    Juice: How come no white illegals were arrested?

  12. 3b says:

    Dark: We will have some excellent choices in 2028. I will leave it there.

  13. 3b says:

    As per the WSJ, Trump tells Cuba make a deal because time is running out . No
    More oil and money. Complete article in WSJ for those who have online access and wish to read further.

  14. Juice Box says:

    3b – 277,686 ICE arrests the last year Joe Biden was President.

    Did you ask him that question about race?

    Approxamety 7% of the illegal aliens on the country today are from what would be considered white majority countries. They are being arrested and deported too.

    Here is how you verify this to be true. Search ICE Arrests by country of origin. This database is all criminals.

    There are a few Paddy’s in there, including aliens from the UK, Italy, Germany and other European countries. A bunch of Canadians too.

  15. Juice Box says:

    3b – They already have rolling blackouts in Cuba…and cannot make much electricity without it as 80% comes from burning oil to make the steam to spin the generators.

    Cuba does have 40,000 bpd domestic production of oil. The remaining oil needed to keep the lights on was coming from Argentina, that is about 90,000+ barrels per day.

    I don’t think they have the cash to buy oil on the open market. So it will lights out for Cuba once the reserve tanks go empty.

  16. 3b says:

    Juice: I was being sarcastic on where are the white ones. I guess the t did not come through. I know there were at least two Irish people picked up, long time residents, no criminal records, but nonetheless one I believe was sent back , and the second I don’t know. Not many young illegal Irish out here today, except for those from the north of Ireland, and there are quite a few of them in the Woodlawn/ Bronx/ Mc Lean Yonkers area.

  17. 3b says:

    Juice: With Cuba it sounds more like weeks than months until lights out. I thought I had read somewhere Cuba has some fairly significant oil reserves. Don’t quote me, I am too lazy to post a link, but I am sure the information is out there.

  18. Fast Eddie says:

    They tried the Air BnB stuff when the super bowl was at Giants (Met) Stadium.

    Meh.

    If the kick ball contest pulls in more, then touche, I guess.

  20. Fast Eddie says:

    There is no democrat party left. It’s a group of progressive oligarchs controlling mentally ill factions of society to create chaos, fan the flames of anti-American rhetoric and consolidate resources everywhere, anywhere and any way possible.

    They can show a 5-year old girl getting quartered and they don’t care. Kill Trump! Hate Trump! Destroy Trump!

    Actually, he was unconscious, did an overnight in the hospital. Ryan Newman. Turn up the volume and listen the “thud” as he hits the wall before flipping. It sounds like a body hitting the ground from 30 stories up.

    And no, this is not why I watch these races. The petabyte of race data and side drafting at 200 MPH is why I watch.

  24. 3b says:

    Fast: I recall when Laken Reilly and Jocelyn Nungaray were killed by illegal immigrants, and there was no real sympathy for these two people. Jocelyn was 12 and was repeatedly raped by two men before being strangled and buried in a shallow pit. Those on the Left rightly said we have lots of our own citizens who rape and kill, and you cannot blame all illegal migrants. But, the fact remains had these men not been admitted into our country, these young women would still be alive. I recall even on the blog some being indifferent to these killings and the suffering of the families.

  25. 3b says:

    Fast: I think you might be very comfortable living in the south. That Dale Earnhardt! Youuu Weeee!!

  26. Fast Eddie says:

    3b,

    There was those on s0cial media and this forum that were disappointed Trump wasn’t killed. As for those poor girls and the other victims, that’s a distraction to the left for their real cause… to transform America to the benefit of the angry misfit muppets.

    As for living in the South, not a problem. Dale! The Intimidator! Despite the cold in the NE, I still like four seasons but I’d consider the Western NC border area for retirement. I love mountains and still like some snow.

    Joking aside…

    Over a thousand protests in MN. People gathering in Trenton and Princeton among others. People are just riled up about Ross murdering Good, and Naomi is adding more troops to MN. Can it be more fucked up?

  30. RentL0rd says:

    This is from the Cuban museum in Miami I was at in December:

    It wouldn’t be any different if you replace Castro with you know who:

    THE TUNNEL OF INDOCTRINATION
    Having established control over the key sectors of society, the regime imposed its ideology as an unquestionable truth, not only pertaining to politics, but also in regard to the economy, culture, religion and family. No facet of life escaped this meticulous scrutiny. To guarantee obedience a new criminal code was instituted that dispensed harsh penalties for slight criticisms, labeling these as
    “ideological deviation,” “dissidence,” “disrespect,” or “enemy propaganda,” turning freedom of
    self-expression into punishable offenses.
    The indoctrination became suffocating: Fidel Castro’s speeches were broadcast in unison by television, radio, and newspapers, and further discussed in schools, community assemblies, factories or offices. The cult of personality reached delirious levels. It became common to find citizens incarcerated for telling a joke about the “Maximum Leader”, or any of his lieutenants.
    In schools, ideological report cards were introduced to measure a student’s commitment to the Castro regime. Only those with the highest ideological scores could be granted admission to the social sciences. Students with lower ideological scores were generally unable to attend the universities. Those who dared to openly defy the system were sent to reform schools or, eventually, the notorious UMAP forced-labor camps.
    The socialist constitution outlawed anyone who did not feel inspired by: ”
    …revolutionary,
    anti-imperialist and Marxist thought; … in particular by the ideas and example of Fidel; …and the ideas of Marx, Engels and Lenin.” This incessant brainwashing continues in force today: through laws, institutions and in the daily lives of Cubans. A quick glance at the current press on the island is enough to substantiate this as we enter the macabre tunnel of indoctrination.

  31. Dark Phoenix says:

    Define real sympathy.

    It’s just so odd that statement, because I can find tons and tons of sympathy for them online.

    not sure if it’s ‘real’ sympathy, vs artifiical sympathy, or false sympathy or fake sympathy.

    As far as indifferent, no matter who dies, that is always a given, no matter the situation.

  32. RentL0rd says:

    Talking abour rape and murder…

    Have you seen the young blondes that Trump exploited on Epstein Island? Some of them committed suicide.

  33. Dark Phoenix says:

    sounds like a party. I guess if your rent goes up thanks to ai algorythms like RealPage, then yeah i guess you need more money. gotta eat somehow.

    Thousands of nurses across New York City are set to go on strike on Monday if no agreement is reached amid ongoing contract negotiations.

    Over 16,000 nurses could walk off the job and hit the picket line if a deal is not reached by midnight on Sunday. If this happens, it would be considered the largest nurses strike in city history.

    The union, which is called the New York State Nurses Association, is still in talks with private hospitals. Their contract expired on December 31.

    The unions says it wants higher pay and safer working conditions for its members.

    Last Thursday night, medical staff at Brooklyn Methodist Hospital were confronted with an armed patient holding people hostage. Police ultimately shot and killed the suspect.

  34. 3b says:

    Dark: The sympathy in my opinion on the left was qualified. As I recall, with those on the left saying American citizens commit the same crimes , which is true but besides the point, and people use that comment to deflect from what is the point in my view.

    The sympathy in my view should not have been qualified, the old yeah but what about……. And it should have been acknowledged by those on the left that had these men not been allowed in the country these young women would still be alive. Please be reminded this is. my opinion.

    And I do remember on this blog a couple who were indifferent, and dismissive of the fact that these young girls were murdered by illegal migrants . That is all I am going to say on the subject.

  35. Dark Phoenix says:

    The answer is yes.

    Can the ultra-rich buy up and reshape a town? Gladwyne’s would-be fairy godparents Janine & Jeffrey Yass and Haldon House plan to remake the historic village in one of the Main Line’s toniest zip codes

  36. RentL0rd says:

    The difference and what seems to be lost to the dimwits, is that the immigrants paid a price for their crimes while the potus and his buddies are getting away with it. See the difference?

  37. Fast Eddie says:

    potus and his buddies are getting away with it.

    All the victims are murdered or committed suicide? Maybe Christine Blasey Ford will step forward and testify.

    Fast Eddie,
    Christine Blasey Ford. What a lying sack of shit. That incident is the best example there is of winning at all costs- lie, cheat, steal.

  40. RentL0rd says:

    So why did the “don’t tread on me” folks turn into “the fucking bitch should have complied”?

  41. RentL0rd says:

    Christine Blasey Ford spoke out and paid for it.

    Why is it not surprising that you maggots believe the rapist?

    Do you also seriously think Trump did not rape young girls?

  42. Fast Eddie says:

    Do you also seriously think Trump did not rape young girls?

    And then he skewered them bigly over a tremendous fire… the best fire. Trump only makes the best fires ever. You’ve never seen anything like it.

    Dow futures fall 300 point as Trump’s DOJ opens criminal investigation into Fed Chair Powell: Live updates
    John Melloy
    Yun Li

  48. Juice Box says:

    Wasn’t Trump this time.

    Last July Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna had formally referred the Powell, to the Department of Justice for lying under oath (perjury), in relation to statements he made to the U.S. Senate Committee.

    https://luna.house.gov/posts/rep-anna-paulina-luna-refers-federal-reserve-chair-jerome-powell-for-criminal-investigation-over-false-testimony

    There is something to this actually. Minor Fibs or a coverup?

    Powell’s term ends soon, he should just bow out gracefully he won’t be able to stop Trump from nominating a partisan only the Senate can do that by not confirming them.

  49. Libturd says:

    The Powell thing. Just wow. Trump should have 1,000 indefinate prison terms for his lies under oath. Seriously.

  50. Juice Box says:

    Lib – It would be a coverup if they did not investigate. Let the Grand Jury do it’s job.

  51. Libturd says:

    Like all of the felony cases in the witch hunt for Trump? Whatever. Trump is going to destroy our country over marble countertops. Perhaps Powell never looked that closely at the plans. It’s really NOT, his job. Again, let Trump fire him. New guy will be removed after mid-terms for sure.

  52. Juice Box says:

    Lib – Honestly Powell is practically irrelevant. Their 12-member group FOMC votes to change rates, the meet again on January 27th-28th.

    Powell gets most of the headlines. He leads meetings and does the job of communicating FOMC decisions to the public. But in terms of raw power, his vote carries the same weight as every other of the 12 FOMC voting members. He doesn’t have any kind of veto authority and can’t unilaterally set policy.

  53. Chicago says:

    Ten 420

  54. 3b says:

    Juice: If Powell bows out now, that’s two open spots on the board, Chairman and Powells separate governor spot which runs until 2028. Powells is not leaving before May, and I don’t think he should.

    I am no fan of Powell, in fact I think he was one of the worst, and we got Yellen and Bernanke in that group too, but Fed independence is key to trust in our markets/ economic system. Trump is using this DOJ matter to pressure Powell.

    We don’t need chaos everyday.

  55. Juice Box says:

    It appears that the majority of information coming out of Iran since Thursday night internet cutoff is being transmitted via Starlink which is illegal there.

    I’ve had bosses like Trump with lackeys such as Stephen Miller.

    What a nightmare.

    I heard Bill Pulte interviewed on Bloomberg earlier. What a mouth breather.

    All these Trump people are the same. Angry. Nasty. Lacking in basic professionalism and decorum. Unpolished. Lacking pragmatism. No ability to separate between what can be done versus what SHOULD be done.

    All that said, the fish rots from the head down.

  57. Juice Box says:

    3b – Again criminal referral was from a sitting congresswoman. It would be a coverup if they did not investigate. I would think a reasonable Grand Jury in Washington DC would not find him culpable of a mis-communication, it probably wasn’t a deliberate action, unless there is something the FBI finds in the documents they subpoenaed.

    Anyway he is out as chair in four months. Trump will nominate someone soon and well the Senate has to confirm.

    I have mentioned this previously. Trump has been in office for almost a year now. He had to fill 4,000 positions. Of those 1,300 positions requiring Senate confirmation to fill. There is a massive backlog on Senate confirmations. I don’t think the Senate will give him what he wants when it comes to a new Fed Chair. We shall see that battle is a few months from now.

  64. 3b says:

  66. 3b says:

    If that is broken going forward, then we are in a world of trouble. Look at the Democrats waiting in the wings to take over in 2028.

  68. 3b says:

  69. XX says:

    I can’t tell you how nice it is to have the kind of time most people real about.

  70. No One says:

    I’d abolish the Fed, but I think it’s despicable that Trump is engaging in aggressive lawfare to try to manipulate Fed policy. That by itself aught to be a basis for impeachment. But there’s more. He’s threatening to impose usury laws just by announcing them publicly. That’s delusional arbitrary behavior – gross incompetence in terms of him understanding how legislation and the legal system works.
    Trump is the most aggressively anti-free market president since maybe Nixon, who tried to impose wage and price freezes. He think’s he should personally be setting taxes, prices, interest rates, etc, based on his gut feelings. Does he think he’s a pre-Magna Carta king?
    There’s really no way to keep making excuses for this kind of behavior.

  71. 3b says:

    XX:It is too bad your wife does not have that luxury as she has to go out and earn a living as you sit on your ass all day smoking pot or driving a round aimlessly in the car your wife bought for you.

    Crashed out of the business world, after only a few years because the little dew drop could not make the the stress ,and your wife carrying the load ever since. What a man.

  72. XX says:

    That’s a lot to unpack. I think you & maybe two other MAGA types who pine for a trad wife are the only people here who give two shits.

    can tell you it’s hilarious to read shit like this. I live rent free in your head. Putz

  73. XX says:

    But yeah 3b not everyone wants to work in a corporation with men under them.

  74. 3b says:

    XX Lard: Don t deflect lard ass.My wife stayed home when my kids were young, and then resumed her very successful career.

    You mention the trad wife, so I guess that is actually you playing the role of the trade wife. You cook and clean and go grocery shopping before you get stoned and your wife is the breadwinner. You are not the bread winner, and you never were the primary bread winner, yet you an arrogant smug prick . You cant even keep your weight under control, and on a day to day basis you don’t have much to do in the line of house work and chores.

    Nah, you don’t live rent free in my head, in fact I used to ignore you for years, as you constantly disparaged comments made by others, and constantly engaged in name calling like some pathetic moron.

    So,I decided when you lash out at me I will return the favor. You provided all the personal information about yourself, which makes it so easy. Have a neat day!!

  75. 3b says:

    XX Lard: Don t deflect, you could not handle it and ran away to teach. Your spouse to her credit can handle the corporate works, but not you the delicate hubby.

  76. Boomer_Remover says:

    I’m no shrink 3b, but it sure seems like Ex lives rent free up there.

    You on more than one occasion conjure up these disturbingly vivid images of h@m@seksuality and Ex’s private live and his relationship dynamics. No one else here, with the exception of Juice, goes out of their way to write chapters of oddly specific personal offenses directed at Ex.

    They’re oddly specific is all.

    Naw. I went to the top of the mountain. Haha
    Cue INXS Falling down a mountain, 12 years was all I cared to
    give to the Tech Business or at least where I was “Biz Dev/Sales” it just wasn’t worth it:
    I took a fat pay cut. Started Teaching. My reasons? I was trained for a job in Education. Could follow a creative passion, and it paid off in spades .

  78. XX says:

    I brought my kid to school with me got her first four years of Elementary.

    Best times …. Ever. Show me a corporate job where a dad can watch his kid play over lunch? Knowing full well she was safe. Gorgeous field we had there in Essex Co.

    These were real experiences. Not “spreadsheets” and quotas. Green grass. Tall trees. Laughing voices. It was what I needed after 9/11. After a dozen years in Tech.

  79. 3b says:

    XX: Yeah, yeah, blah blah, your wife might have liked to have done that too.

    Do not deflect, you could not hack the business world and left, which is fine in the end if that is what you both agreed on.

    Why do I live in your head where you constantly have to rationalize and justify your decision? Maybe, you just stop being an asshole all the time.

    If not, then stop commenting on my posts. I offered you that option months ago and you turned it down.

  80. XX says:

    Re: a wife that makes money? Thats just how it is.
    Thats all her. Her decision! Got a kid that went instate for 4 years
    Really made things easier. Yeah, I’m winding down. Is there a third act here career-wise? Cause yeah, truth be told the schools wear you down. Think being a teacher is easy in NJ? Class sizes in CA lurk around 40 kids. I run my classrooms and yeah, it can be exhausting. wife thinks I’d make a great postman. But yeah, there’s no immediate pressure on me to work right now. Selling my “other” really helped ensure that.

    Now that we are renters again it reminds me of the old days. Free & Easy baby!!!

  81. XX says:

    12:11 why do I do it? Well like one of ur tranny friends might say: I do it out of love.

  82. Chad Powers says:

    We have an appointment at a Notar next week. We‘re selling a small commercial building that we have part ownership of. Our share will be a bit over €1 million. Unfortunately we could have gotten a lot more if we sold it two or three years ago, but home office and other things going on in the market have really hurt. Thinking about buying a residential property to rent out. Due to the ongoing housing shortage that market is still strong.

  83. 3b says:

    Boomer: I am no shrink either, but I just pointed out the same to XX or whatever he goes by now. I post a comment, and he feels the need to respond like he did earlier. I respond with a barrage of insults (based on information provided by him), and then he in turn j justifies his decision to leave the corporate world and go teach., and then pretty much become a house husband.

    And around it goes. If he is living in my head, then why is he the one who comments on my texts? He knows I will react? Yes, I told him I would.I also offered him the option to just ignore me, but he will not. So, who lives in whose head? The offer is there it is up to him.

  84. 3b says:

    XX: There you go over explaining again you didn’t send much time in the field you left in early 30’s stop stop the you gave it all nonsense. Do you think people are stupid. You were not at the pinnacle of your career when you left.

  85. XX says:

    Yes actually “most” people are not real bright.

    Congratulations Chad. That’s a tidy sum.

    I left tech when I was 37. Started in the business after grad school. Won countless sales awards, Worked in the Fortune 100 baby. Did two IPOs. Covered $120m territory, went to the actual Super Bowl, was photographed on the cover of Fortune Magazine. And “yes” at 37 two years after the tech crash. I’d had enough. Shocking. I know.

  89. XX says:

    Awww but in any strong marriage it really doesn’t matter who brings home the bacon. But rather that it’s there in the first place. The question you really need to ask yourself is how an ignorant oaf from the Midwest ever landed a woman like mine in the first place.

  90. XX says:

    3b I’ll never ignore you. “Hugs”….but yeah I’d like to get you to think like a human being and not a primate.

  91. 3b says:

    XX Lard: Yeah, I am living in your head, more deflection, with your it does not matter who brings home the bacon.

    You couldn’t bring home the bacon. And then you give this crap that you left at the height of your career. What a load of crap.

    Nothing human about you, just an angry petty little man.

  92. XX says:

    Yeah, and I’m not “scrap”. I’ll think about you !!! Xx oo

    Thanks. Just amazing that more businesses aren‘t failing here. Very hard to make any money with high taxes and lots of regulations and the government bureaucracy. I don’t think 2026 is going to be a good year for the economy.

  110. 3b says:

    Chad: what happened with the leftist group that caused the blackout in Berlin. Did they get the people that did it?

  114. Chad Powers says:

    3b,
    The Far Left Volcano Group claimed responsibilty for the sabotage. The intelligence services are really good here so I‘m sure they‘ll track down the actual people who did it. Nice guys though to do something like this in below freezing weather effecting thousands of families.

    The government now says they are going to crack down on Far Left extremist groups. We‘ll see what happens. When I went for my German citizenship interview I had to review a list of organizations that are banned in Germany and acknowledge that I didn’t belong to any of them. Scientology was on the list in addition to a lot of terrorist groups I had never heard of.

  115. No One says:

    L Ron Hubbard followers banned Germany but not Mohammed’s followers? How do they decide?

  116. 3b says:

    Chad: Far Left Volcano Group?? Silly Germans.

  117. 3b says:

    As per the WSJ (if you have the online version, you can find it) Iran is offering to chat about their nuclear program, while Trump is leaning toward military strikes. That’s a problem, there is enough crap going on.

  118. 3b says:

    WSJ Exclusive!! Trump has privately said Pam Bondi is weak an ineffective. I think she is a Ditz.

  119. Chad Powers says:

    I think the Federal Ministry of Interior (BMI) has the power to ban extremist groups. I imagine they are given recommendations on who to ban from the intelligence services. I was surprised to see Scientology on the list. Probably depends on how radical a group is and how big a threat they pose. I‘ve never heard of the Vulkangruppe before and I hope they are shut down.

    Sorry Chicago, the Faustian bargain was cast.

    Two quotes by Hannah Arendt that apply.

    – Politically, the weakness of the argument has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget very quickly that they chose evil.
    – The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.

    The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.
    Hannah Arendt
    People, Fiction, True And False
    1339 Copy quote

    The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth, and truth be defamed as lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world – and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end – is being destroyed.

    The greatest enemy of authority, therefore, is contempt, and the surest way to undermine it is laughter.

    The aim of totalitarian education has never been to instill convictions but to destroy the capacity to form any.
    Hannah Arendt
    Conviction, Form, Capacity
    Hannah Arendt (1966). “The origins of totalitarianism”
    96 Copy quote

    Politically speaking, tribal nationalism [patriotism] always insists that its own people are surrounded by ‘a world of enemies’ – ‘one against all’ – and that a fundamental difference exists between this people and all others. It claims its people to be unique, individual, incompatible with all others, and denies theoretically the very possibility of a common mankind long before it is used to destroy the humanity of man.

    Politically, the weakness of the argument has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget very quickly that they chose evil.
