sure...you were wrong about tax scenarios, but now you're just deflecting it. you're wrong about PATH travel times, and can't even fully read a person's post before you respond to it.
Second, why the hell do you care so much about tax codes? Does it really make that much of a difference or do you just have a fetish towards Hoboken?

I am not accusing you of anything. I was just intrigued by this comment that you made. May be I am doing something wrong tax wise that I should not be doing. Based on your clarification, may be I will realize that I was thinking about this wrong all along.
And YOU claimed that the tax was noticeable. I am further confused by your subsequent statement that it 'really do not make a difference.'
So once again, would you PLEASE explain what exactly you meant there, because I am having some trouble understanding it. To simplify things for me, I have provided a scenario below. Given that you have lived in Hoboken and commuted to NYC and seem to know about this, I would really appreciate your response.
If a someone is working in NYC making 100k a year, NY tax 6%, NJ tax 6%, NYC tax 3%, what would the total tax burden be i) as a NJ resident ii) as a NYC resident
If I'm paying $1200 a month in Hoboken VS. $600 in Bushwick, guess what I'm going to pick? Not to mention the surrounding area in BKLYN is going to be cheaper dollar for dollar than HOB.
OP has a family and wants a baby friendly place and is thinking of Hoboken. Why would you recommend a crime ridden ghetto to her? If that is what she wanted, why would she not move to Newark and pay even less?

Thanks.
BradyKP, you are just a Jersey apologist. Everything is perfect, nothing should be criticized. Most would think otherwise. Prove to me that ridership is down at 1am on the weekends. I'd love to see your stats because you are dead wrong. Enjoy living with your head under a rock.
Halffull, you just sit at home and follow my posts just to be a contrarian. I'm glad I can excite you in your constant struggle of boredom. But for all intents and purposes, you are a still a f-ing idiot.
My point is if your rent is SIGNIFICANTLY lower outside Hoboken, I would think it would be cheaper to live there than paying through the nose in Hoboken itself. I would think that the math you present could completely depend on the individual itself (ever hear of loopholes?) It's not as cut and dry as you think. I used Bushwick as an example, because a lot of young people are moving there to avoid paying such high rents that Hoboken has capitalized on. The same story goes throughout the metropolitan area.
And calling "Bushwick" a crime ridden ghetto? Are you for real? That's like saying Hoboken will give a baby cancer because of the former factories that resided there. Then what in the hell do you call Jersey City?

I promise I will explain that along with all the requisite stats as soon as you explain the following statement that I am still having trouble understanding.

I'm not doing your bull**** math, nerd. What makes Bushwick such a ghetto?
And he repeats his pattern... as soon as he's shown to we wrong, he jumps to the personal attacks. Sad.
Oh cool -- a beat down by a troller and a new user! Whoa!
And what about your role in this conversation? Oh that's right, you are a troll who jumped on because he's bored.
