Im looking at Jersey right now, and from what i gather i have yet to understand why people would want to pay so much to live in such an expensive, commie dump. The rents are insane, the housing prices are double everywhere else because of property tax alone (the property tax is its own mortgage payment), you get treated like crap for holding any non liberal values, and the people here just absolutely suck, and let's not forget the cripllingly high income tax, sales tax, insurance is more expensive, illegal immigrants. I just came back from the south US area, and I'm about ready to nope out again ina. flash, if it wasn't for my parents

I have sold two of the three houses I had in NJ and am in the process of fixing up the last one so we can sell it, too.
This state is the worst one I've ever lived in, and I've lived in 8 or 9 of them.

Comparably, I have a great example. I have a house in the midwest, which cost me around 500,000. At 0 down with a low APR, the house costs me 2500/month. That EXACT same house in Jersey with the same parameters, costs 4600/month, almost double the price of my other house. So even if i wanted to live here, which i dont, i would financially not be able to because of the price

The end goal is to have everyone only be able to afford a 100-200 sqft apartment in communist block housing or a tiny home stuffed into a parking lot somewhere. Now that they are killing off fuel and electricity generation they will probably start lining up Morgan buildings on the abandoned freeways.

When we sold the first NJ house we used the money to buy two new ones in other states, cash. The money from the the second sale is slated for other investments.

To continue along with your example, one of the houses we bought is a little larger than the NJ house and the taxes are less than half what we were paying on it.

Yup, I compared a house in Montana to NJ. In Montana, a house of the same value has a whopping 2500/yr in taxes. The same comparable house in Jersey has over 10,000/yr in taxes. When accounting for services rendered, your house in Jersey has 5 times more taxes, for a quarter or less of the actual services rendered. Everything in the Northeast is just waste, more waste, and some more waste on top of that
