Liberals ruin everything, #13 is the NJ governor’s house (lawyer, school, compare)

[CatPeople]

Leftist libs turn everything in ghetto. Property tax over $200,000. Forcing people to live like this.

Left NJ in '19. We had a modest 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath one care garage with a another detached garage on 6/10 acre.

Property taxes on that were $8,400/year.

Plus income tax, sales tax, doubled the gas tax, toll roads.................

Thanks to property taxation, we are all just renters. And the rent in NJ is high. Hope the view is good.

Property taxes are collected by the municipality. Not the state. Comparing Cranbury, NJ (where I have investment property) and Pueblo, CO (where the OP seems to be from), here's the breakdown:

Cranbury, NJ property tax: 1.7%
Pueblo, CO property tax: 0.7%

Cranbury, NJ city sales tax: 0%
Pueblo, CO city sales tax: 3.7%

Pueblo, CO gets money through additional forms of taxes that are not represented in property taxes. You can't compare two locations by just looking at one set of taxes. This is a failure on the OP's part.

Additionally, most people are not living in $10 million mansions in NJ.

But the schools are so good, the kids don't even have to go full day or at all

NJ schools consistently rank in the top 3.

Thanks to the abundance of middle/upper middle and professional class neighborhoods with parents who value education.

NJ's most expensive schools are in districts where not even the most woke parents would even consider sending their kids.

NJ's an example of how not to redistribute all the cash they bring in and send back out for school funding.

Asbury park, a failed district by any metric, was reported to spend more than 40K per student.

> than 40K. Let that sink in.

That's just one example.

Making under-performing government drones rich. Working as intended-pols using taxpayer money to buy votes.

My real estate and property taxes in my home back in PA which I still own have gone up way past the rate of inflation over the 23 years I've owned it. The Northeast s*cks.
