Reply to comment by SpeedySpooley in Atlantic City by lilBob1989

Yea, I grew up in Ocean City, the 1400sqf house I grew up in still stands, but is worth close to half a million now. It sits on 1/4 of an acre with a two car garage. My little house in Northfield has less than half the property and no garage. My taxes are more than twice what my growing up house pays.

The problem with Atlantic City is the high taxes. Co-worker of mine had a small 800sqf house in the Venice Park section of town, his taxes were close to my 1300sqf home in Northfield.

Instead of siphoning off all the taxes out of the city, NJ should allow AC to drop the property taxes to minimal and people will move back.

My late grandmother lived a mile from a traffic light. People would light up at the red and when they got to her place, throw the butt out the window. The first 8 feet of her lawn was nothing but cigarette butts. They were nearly impossible to get out of the grass.
