Do you know how supply and demand works? If the supply wasn't increased downtown these occupants in downtown would be in other neighborhoods driving up housing prices even more. More housing does not increase prices. Less housing does. The people are coming whether you like it or not.

Yeah I mean rent in the whole city is rising but I feel like it’s a direct result of the luxury apts downtown. I was referring to dt occupants originally.

I think you may be right- it sounds like a generator. Curious why they need it only from 1-3am every night.

Only option is at a federal level to massively increase taxes on rented out apartments/houses to disincentivize people/companies from buying investment properties

I haven’t downvoted anyone but it’s like How To Tell Me You Don’t Know How To Use The Reddit Search Box (without telling me that you don’t know how to use the Reddit search box)? It’s not as though the question hasn’t been answered so many times before.

Lol no , labor has nothing to do with it .. have you seen housing price appreciation in China in India. In even mid tier cities in India house prices have 10x in past 10 - 15 years and India has ample labor. Labor has nothing to do with this.

Exactly. People don’t seem to realize that the majority of housing is still owned by individuals.
No one is expecting mom and pop to sell their houses at a discount for the greater good.

She’s clearly worried about a defamation suit but has zero clue on how to navigate something she cares about professionally. Which should concern her employer, Hoboken Girl.

Lol come over to Union City, if a utility even breathes on a road, the entire block gets repaved within a month. Usually with 3 bright yellow speed bumps. Gotta love mayor stack

My guess would be the exhaust fans from the Holland Tunnel are kicking in at that hour? If you walk around the neighborhood you’ll easily spot at least 3 unmarked structures that pump out exhaust fumes from the tunnel. But what do I know?

My rental property increased in value so the taxes went up, because the value went up it now costs more to insure the property. Also because the value of the property increased the HOA increased. I did some math and passed the difference onto my tenant. I showed him the numbers and told him it is what it is, I'm not making anymore money. The problem is some landlords will add a few numbers so they can make more.

Not sure, they aren’t necessarily fixed, and sometimes they are even more than what the tax rate is but a developer might lock into them because it’s a known rather than a variable like a tax would be.
So in theory, yes, they could’ve went up, but also they could’ve been at a higher tax rate than what the average person was paying all along and now there is rate parity.
