What's your point? No one thinks that he's a victim except him, and he's clearly an asshole. No attorney is going to take his case. ADG however, is clearly a sociopath who needs to be removed from office.

Really? I was all over that site several times and never saw it, perhaps they don't have it linked from the Real ID page.

Being organized (as I was) doesn't help when it takes an hour after your appointment time to get to the 1st station. I guess going to Lodi was my mistake. I've seen Bayonne be a shitshow too, and since appointment was required didn't think time of day mattered.

Speaking of the form, why the hell do they not have an option to populate it online and either print it out at home or bring it up online there? The clerk apparently disliked my handwriting (filled it out on my manila envelope while on line) and wasted quite a bit of time filling out a new one. There were no changes.

For what service? Registration and licensing can be very different. And Real ID different too.

I read all that on their website too. Except going through their menu of picking docs, every time I picked "write it in", it printed out "SS card"! Made me nervous enough to rummage out my actual card. Also none of my income documents have the complete number, just the last four.

While I was at the second station at the MVC there was a guy several spots down raging at them that the website had told him what he had was adequate, and the first station had also passed him, and now they were telling him that he had wasted 2 hours because it wasn't! Definitely did not want to be that guy...

Not for Real ID. You need to actually go to the website, https://www.nj.gov/mvc/realid/ They call it 2+1+6. 2 proof of address, 1 of SSN, 6 of ID.

Ok grandpa. Whatever. And I won't buy things over that 'internet thing' with a credit card.

EDIT: Since they deleted it, I was responding to happyartichoke saying not to pay anything by ACH.

I don't see how it benefits them. Either way there's a long line and they move in slow motion. The only benefit I see is so people don't drive there and spend 8 hours in line only to be told to come back tomorrow, which is what was happening a while back before Covid trashed the RealID push. My son had to get there at 7am to be sure of being seen before closing time to convert his provisional to a full license.

So I don't have to take a hard to replace passport on every domestic air trip.

What bugs me is they want to save paper, but still stuff the bills with 5 pages of unnecessary crap! Plus they don't give real access to the data past a certain date, for some banks it's just a few months and then it's a PDF not actual downloadable data.

Newsflash for banks: data storage is so cheap that Google & MS are giving away tens of gigabytes. My Quicken file of 30 years of my financial life is only 30mb. You make billions on us, giving us a fews cents of text & numbers data storage going back a decade would be nice.

If I didn't get paper utility bills I'd never look at them, and that's not good.

Hey, I just added those links to the New Resident FAQ. Thanks. Question: I can't remember from when my wife worked in NYC, I know the state income taxes get credited to NJ, but what happens to the NYC tax, is it not even collected?

Yes, he was the guy who made it possible for Fulop to be mayor by making the usual kind of deals outside Fulop's Downtown base. If you think it can be done any other way in JC you're either dreaming or very new here. Hoboken has more or less the reverse demographics to JC in terms of gentry to 'Born n Breds', and non-corrupt Dawn Zimmer only got to be mayor because her predecessor was arrested for corruption 3 weeks into office! And her opposition never stopped accusing her of corruption her entire tenure, because they'd never seen a straight politician in Hudson County.

Not saying I like it, but you have to recognized how things work here to even think about changing it. No one not part of this system has ever come close to the Mayor's office in JC.

I guess it's the 'new normal', get over it. I spotted this deer family in the ravine below Dickinson high School

Talk to your landlord about Amazon "Key for Business". They will install at their expense a device on the buzz entry of >3 unit buildings that lets them open it themselves. Combined with a standard USPS key safe you can protect a large percentage of packages.

Lots of the hi rises have PTACs not central air

I've never given them a cent either, but obviously some people like the OP don't have the 'urban armor' we do.

My son busks, he sits and plays guitar at open air market or such and people toss money in his case if they feel like it, or they can continue walking. Far different than forcing a performance on people riding a train who cannot leave, and then hovering intimidatingly in people's faces asking for money. Worse is the fucking acrobats who put you in fear for you face.

As part of a charity ask it most definitely is a scam, as you would make sales to people who would not ordinarily be looking to buy candy, but are motivated to support "the cause". No different than demanding money after an unasked for PATH performance.

Sigh. Just to clarify for those new to this game, there's no such thing as a reval tax. Their property value was underassessed, and the taxes went up dramatically once that was corrected in the reval. $27k at 1.6% means their property was assessed at a value of $1.7m, seems about right given what was said.

Odd are this property was Downtown and not in the Heights, where properties were overwhelmingly overassessed, and paying more than they should have, prior to the reval.
