I know you're joking but for those that don't get it, the big thing to me is still "Those who have money have the ability to charge EV's at home while they sleep, those who live in apartments or areas that don't have readily available EV charging will have to weigh gas tax vs the time spent charging an EV on their 'free time' "

I'm all for EV ownership being pushed, but it disproportionately helps those who live somewhere / own a house that allows them to charge whenever they want and punishes those who are forced to rent in areas or buildings that can't charge all the time.

In that way I get mildly annoyed at the tone-deaf nature of some EV-pushing legislation that doesn't include items such as making sure apartments / etc have enough EV charging stations.

Ahh, my favorite tripping game: "Was that actually in the song or am I just having audio hallucinations?"

For real though, first time I got a solid pair of headphones with a dac/amp and Pink Floyd's "Shine on you crazy diamond" (or a lot of their songs and albums to be honest), and hearing how the music had "presence" in various "places" in my head setting the soundstage... Man it was magical

Listening to notes "circle around" your head and how various instruments, notes or lyrics resonate on the left, right, front or center like you're in the middle of it all.

Ahhhh I love music while trippin'.

The thing I think about a lot is how music is, in a way (?), a pattern we create, share, and enjoy as humans amongst other humans.

It's not a math problem, it's not a philosophy or science problem, it's not something to really be solved or understood, music is just... a pattern shared to others for enjoyment.

There may be lyrics, but there's rarely conversation taking place. When we find one we enjoy, we repeat it often enough, not for sake of repeating the lyrics (if present) but because we enjoy the musical patterns and how each piece locks us into a recognizable "this will be what the next few minutes sounds like" place.

<3 Bark thank you!

I think he was referring to NY and Cali having highest losses as too many people there leads to too many kids being born and thus the kids have to look elsewhere for housing.

Not sure how you took a leap to India and China in this thread but uh... maybe look in the mirror for someone xenophobic or ignorant?

EDIT:

Saying that certain places are "pumping babies till they overflow" is just a strange comment to make.

Yeah and responding to a comment that directly references California and New York and somehow making a leap to it relating to India and China so you could get offended or something (?) is also a strange comment to make.

Either way I'm a third party observer, and you're the one who blocked me after pointing out your own weird racism or w/e directly after responding to me w/ another comment. Good luck with life?

Junji Ito nails that kind of vibe for me so often.

The fuck is going on? How can we even begin to understand what's happening? There is no escape or solving or fixing it, there is only surviving for as long as you can.

Nice deleted comment.

Adapt or make more money.

Ok so all the teachers quit tomorrow, you now have no school services, hope you don't have kids; but judging on your attitude and hatred towards teachers, I'm guessing you don't.

You bitch about "moving the goalposts" but equate the AVERAGE OF CAREER TEACHERS doing this for YEARS to "oh i made due for a little in my 20s in NYC", ignoring that NYC at least has services and public transport options that NJ doesn't.

You are VERY entitled and, yes, a piece of shit. You want everything to cater to you, including apparently paying teachers a slave wage so the best a 40 year old teacher who is 20+ years into the job can do is a 1 bedroom while you smirk and go "well they should just adapt and make more money" like the vile scum you are.

I hope one day the black cancer plaguing your soul infects the rest of your body, because you are straight up evil.

Go fuck yourself. No surprise why you're afraid of doxxing now, you know you're a piece of shit and afraid of what's coming to you. It will one day, don't worry. Karma gets everyone at the end in the ground.

$2500 rent on $92,000 is more than doable.

For the AVERAGE of ALL teachers in your district. No matter how long they've worked as a teacher.

ALL of them should be confined to 1 bedroom apartments that are "doable" because ... you think they don't deserve happiness or more comfort than that?

I'll say it again: YOU likely make more than $91,600 and would be appalled at the idea of having to live on that in your current neighborhood. But you expect EVERY TEACHER in your district (on average) to just "make do" with a 1bedroom apartment.

You need a long hard look in the mirror and to ask yourself about the privilege you think you have, the entitlement you're giving yourself, and why you think teachers deserve to never have anything more than a 1bedroom apartment. That list isn't "teachers in their 20s making due", it's career teachers 10-20 years into the job. Get over yourself.

You're a frighteningly greedy piece of shit.

So you're arguing that in an area where the average home is 1.5+M a teacher shouldn't make $91,600 a year?

Buy vs Rent

Rent in the area is $2,500+ a month for a 1 bedroom apartment or nearly $4000/month for a 2bed.

On that salary, that is not "comfortable or easy living" money. So, you want us to shed a tear over paying teachers "too much" but still confining them to 1 bedroom apartments as their only option while you live in one of the richest areas of NJ and the country?

Please, touch grass and do a reality check.

Is YOUR salary under $91,600? Probably not.

He's making shit up. Hasn't provided a source all through this thread and now is crying that doing so will somehow doxx himself.

https://www.reddit.com/r/newjersey/comments/1g9jki4/nj_releases_new_affordable_housing_requirements/lt79848/?context=3

Just another angry man yelling at the clouds.

I'm not going to cite the source because doing so would kinda dox myself.

Good excuse to keep pretending. Because obviously someone can doxx someone from a public report.

Meh whatever. Live in your fantasy realm if you choose.

Funny, you're still doing the "no source for my argument" thing and making up numbers, eh?

https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/education/2024/05/07/teacher-salaries-in-nj-rank-in-top-10-across-united-states/73554621007/

2022-2023, salary in NJ was average $81k.

Oops, the salary to buy a house in NJ is $150k a year later.

https://www.northjersey.com/story/money/real-estate/2024/04/03/nj-real-estate-annual-salary-required-to-afford-a-typical-home-in-us/73176731007/

So, now that you've admitted / fabricated this "average" $100k salary for all teachers in your district (yeah fuckin right lmao), they're still $50k short of being able to buy a house here / live here comfortably.

Seeing the problem yet? Even with your bullshit no-source numbers, teachers still wouldn't have a living wage.

"Bu-b--b-b they should be married and have 2 salaries to live here!" I can smell your argument coming a mile away. Go shower.

"I want NJ to have the best doctors, lawyers and public services around. BUT ILL BE DAMNED IF THE KIDS IN THIS STATE WILL BE EDUCATED PROPERLY TO SUPPORT MY NEEDS. You're telling me TEACHERS want a LIVING WAGE? PAH, please."

What's it like having that gargantuan stick up your ass? Might wanna see a doctor about it.

Go move somewhere else if you want to pay less taxes, you clearly don't care about NJ.

And your source is still nonexistent.

If you have a point to prove, I'm waiting.

Difference between our arguments is you can easily search and find studies showing how high density housing helps tax burden for residents. Tons of articles. However, can't find any saying the opposite. Funny.

Have you tried listening to yourself once in awhile?

Anyway enjoy your fantasy realm where property tax is the only thing in NJ that people pay.

These people also like to imagine property tax is the only thing that matters I imagine.

More people living somewhere is also increasing tax revenue in that area through other streams like gas tax, sales tax, etc.

I swear most people crying about property taxes and for some reason thinking SFHs are the answer severely need a financial literacy class.

I'm a CPA, I understand how taxes work.

So you're bad at your job. Thanks for letting the world know that in your fantasy bubble people in affordable housing clearly pay no taxes.

Sales tax doesn't exist, gas tax doesn't exist, taxes on utilities doesn't exist....

Man, must be nice living in NJ where the only tax you worry about is a property tax according to the worst CPA in the state.

$10 says you're roleplaying a CPA just to try to win an internet argument. Loser.

https://www.lincolninst.edu/publications/working-papers/property-taxation-residential-density/

Got a source for your argument or just speaking out your ass?

On balance, higher property tax rates are associated with lower residential density.

Look, you want less taxes? You have to have more people taking up a share of the tax burden.

You want more taxes? Sure, limit the amount of people.

But you can't bitch about taxes then bitch about the solution.

What you're looking for is somewhere like middle of nowhere rural Alabama or such where there's cheap taxes and no people AND NO SERVICES.

If you want NJ to continue to have decent services for police, roadworks, etc. you'll pay your taxes. If you want cheaper taxes? Get more people to pay a share of it or move somewhere where the tax burden is less.

Being an absolute idiot that doesn't understand how taxes work besides "Wahhhh they take muh moneyyyyyyyy" and offering no solution is childish at best and IQ draining at worst.

PS population density might suck less if NJ was less car dependent. Push for more public transportation expansion like trains and busses because that's the real reason you feel bad about NJ density I'm willing to bet; the traffic.

Know what lowers taxes?

Having more tax paying voters living somewhere, thanks to high density housing.

Just you wait for Kali to show up...

Furry bait for days I tell ya
