this one?
that's the one i heard about on NJ 101.5. i listen in the morning, so i catch all of the political stuff.
i understand about the median income being across several classes, but, still, it doesn't seem to work out mathematically. now that they've revamped the bankruptcy rules, there will be far fewer people going that route. i guess it's all about foreclosure and throwing people out in the street?
it's good for me, i can't complain, because i am not in the market to buy. well, we thought we were going to pick up a rental property around the corner from me, but when i heard it was $279,000 i thought that there must be some mistake. that's when i started nosing around and finding out what's what.
taxes in our town are still on the low end, but i hear they
could triple by the end of the year, so
getting involved in a group that will charge the state government with
property tax reform (remember, that was one of the big issues in the governor's race? i do...) is
a good idea. property taxes affect all of us - either you're a homeowner and you're getting fleeced or taxes are what's keeping you out of homeownership or you know someone that it is affecting (like your parents).
