Reply to parents of reddit: what would you do if your child was switched at birth and you only found out now? by SashaGreatest
Sue the everloving fuck out of the hospital. My kid would still be my kid but I'd also want to work with the other family to ensure that both kids can get to know each family.

The one Caldor I remember was somewhere in Bergen county. Maybe Wayne?
I just remember that it had an escalator because my brother and I would race each other running up the "down" escalator while my mom shopped... the fact that we could do so without bothering any other shoppers was probably a red flag.

Reply to NJM car insurance worth the switch by Cashneto
Every year that my insurance is up, I look around at the other options and every year, no other company ends up being significantly cheaper than the Progressive plan I've had since getting my license 20 years ago.

Reply to How have house prices gone up in cnj? by ccseater2
We're not building more low/mid-ranged houses, and people who bought or refinanced in 2020-21 with a 2% interest rate mortgage would have to be crazy or desperate to sell, so the market is constrained.
Typically late spring and early summer will see more houses on the market with parents looking to move between school years, so you may also have slightly better luck then.

Thank god someone said it, we need to get back to NJ's famously low housing prices of 2020. /s

Wasn't it sold from one private owner to another? Like, what else should be done with it?
Not really sure I'd trust the city itself with buying it, renovating it, and finding tenants to lease space in it.

Reply to More than 800,000 New Jerseyans to receive ANCHOR rebate checks by direct deposit Tuesday by ROI-NJ
Just got mine yesterday.
Was surprised that I got the entire rebate. They made me submit a paper application because I jointly owned my house with my then-boyfriend in 2019, but since he's since died I had to include the death certificate. Was expecting half to go to his estate (which is still me since we got married in 2020 but I wasn't looking forward to dealing with that mess)

Just got mine today.
Had to submit a paper application back in December because I jointly owned the house with my then-boyfriend in 2019 who's since passed, so they required a death certificate.

Reply to comment by ImJackieNoff in DA Alvin Bragg’s staffer hangs up on ‘bulls–t’ congressional phone call by Gaytaino
It looks from my perspective that Bragg has made choices not to prosecute cases long before this Trump case ramped up, so it feels disingenuous to blame this development for something that had been happening already.

Is there evidence that Bragg isn't "prosecuting other crimes, especially violent crime" because of this investigation?

I was an English Lit major... forget which specific course it was, but it was definitely 3 or 400 level something.

I had to both read it and write a paper on it in college, and it was probably one of the most difficult assignments I ever had to do.
It was originally published in pieces and I kinda wonder if that's not the better way to read it. Just a chapter here or there over the course of a couple years, rather than sitting down and plodding through the whole thing.

Just here to appreciate the irony of Jim Jordan demanding testimony from others while he himself ignored subpoenas when issued for his own testimony on the Jan. 6th hearings.

Reply to comment by impracticable in DeCamp ends decommuter buses to NYC by rollotomasi07071
Definitely not for everyone. Lol
Google Maps lists it as a 1 hour walk from my parents' house to the PATH station, and then another 50 minutes via mass transit + walking from the PATH to my office.
The original post here was pointing out that it's crazy for it to take less time for me to commute in from further away in Cranford.

It's definitely not a one-seat ride into the city given that you have to either drive to the PATH station (and pay for parking) or take a bus there that's just as long as the bus to Newark.

There's even a cute neighborhood around where the train station was with some apartment buildings, restaurants, and delis. Kinda felt bad for them all when the station closed.
With DeCamp pulling out, pretty sure that means no way to get from Kearny to NYC other than taking a bus to Newark Penn or a bus to the train station in East Rutherford but no one-seat rides as close as it is.

That's going to be a real blow to some towns.
It's wild to me that I can literally stand on my parents' front porch in Kearny and see the Manhattan skyline, but it takes me longer to commute into the city from there than it does from my house in Cranford 30 minutes further away.

Reply to Who here owns residential and rents it out? thinking of buying a two-family in Rahway as it is getting very cute there. by [deleted]
Just a note of caution about Rahway, be sure to look up FEMA flood zone maps... and then probably add a couple blocks onto the map.
If I ever get the motivation to sell my house and downsize, I think about some of the condos downtown there but only if it came with an off-street parking spot that wasn't at ground level.

I mentally divide the state into Western, North, Central, South, and the Shore. I'd put Atlantic Highlands in the Jersey Shore category.

Walk away, because he's rich and powerful.
Maybe some fines against him personally or his businesses.
