That is what the Democrat result is of high property taxes. Property taxes in this New Jersey city are 5.5% of a homes value per year.

That would mean over 10 years that half the homes value would go to property tax.

7,606 dollar property bill in Irvington, NJ for $137,000

But the same thing plays out in cities like Hartford, Bridgeport, Providence and others. Tax good hard-workers and seniors into foreclosure and bankruptcy. That way investors can pay pennies on the dollar and rent them to section 8 welfare families, illegal aliens, refugees.

There are a lot of vacant houses in Irvington. It should be incorporated into Newark.

This has been discussed before.. If you know NJ the property tax is high in all communities but typical higher in Republican ones. The bug issue is "home rule".

I see the last 8 years of a Republican Governor did a world of good for NJ.

Probably so, people tell me Harrison is booming with its easy PATH access to Jersey City and Manhattan. I used to love that easy, inexpensive ride into the city.

I used to work in Irvington in the 1980's. It was bad back then

Oh well....at least they can deduct those property taxes from their.....oh wait, not anymore.

Yup. That must be the Democrat's super-secret plan all right.

Sarcasm button turned off now.

You and I both know slums never make good tax bases. Thinking otherwise is mistaking cartoons for living beings.

Show me a city, and I'll show you a slum in it somewhere. They are part of the human condition.
