Thanks for this! I actually backed out of my purchase of LUXURY real estate because of our conversation a year ago. Taxes would have gone up 9k/yr based on what I just looked up in cityofjerseycity for neighbors.

Dude, re-reading my post is eerie and sad. Eerie because I was right on the money as far as the tax prediction of reaching 2.1 (already there!) and I truly believe that 2.2+ is where we will be by 2025. Of course, I couldn't h ave predicted that the BOE would turn around and increase the budget on top of the state cuts. It was a crazy move, but maybe a calculated gamble. The sad part is that any logic and reason should yield the same take, and yet so many refuse to listen or believe.
