Hi Everybody,

we're excited to get started. If you're not able to make it this
Saturday but still want to be involved, join our email list at

Please feel free to pass along our info and invite friends to any of

[AsburyPark] Lawyer/Legal Referals Please

[wernerapnj]

Recall that I was jailed 4 months ago for code issues with my porch
and home.

I've been informed that I may be sentenced to jail again this Friday
with virtual certainty.

I'd appreciate some leads to legal advice or resources regarding
municipal court powers, civil rights, code enforcement, selective
enforcement, etc.

Thank You - Werner

[AsburyPark] Re: Abbott $

[fancypaaantz]

"AP has zero tax base (minimal)"
Then they should stop with all the abatements? And maybe re-assess 
so that we are all paying our fair share?

Take this house, for eg. It is comp to mine, sort of, same 
neighborhood.. And they pay $3000 less than I do. I have seen big 
houses that pay less. (BTW- I have asked b4 and if anyone has been 
successful challenging their taxes, please let me know)...

Taxes: $4,094.00

That's the problem with the system: 

88% of the costs are born
by the town (like bergen and the rest of the non-abbotts

Ap used to be only 3%.

AP has zero tax base (minimal) - no shopping centers etc despite a one mile

Housing slump hitting MOT?
by Ronald Leir
Sunday January 20, 2008, 5:32 PM

Fallout from the nationwide housing slump has struck Bayonne's
Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor.

Developers of the Harbor Station North District at the Peninsula,
formerly known as the Military Ocean Terminal at Bayonne, are seeking
approval from the Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority to switch from
for-sale to rental apartments.

Josh Sternberg, vice president of development for Roseland/Bayonne
LLC, partnered with Fidelco and S/K Bayonne Associates, to build 447
residential units at Harbor Station North, said that the team was
looking for the "flexibility to use rentals."

"We're being responsive to the current (housing) market conditions,"
Sternberg said. "The sale market is struggling but the rental market
is quite strong. So that's motivated us to move forward (on the
proposed switch) as quickly as possible."

How many units will be rentals and how many will be sold? "We'll
probably let the market drive that," Sternberg said.

[AsburyPark] Re: Abbott $

[fancypaaantz]

7% of our property taxes go to the schools, the rest is state 
money...

But think about is, my house is less than 1200 feet.. I only pay 
slightly less in property taxes than my parents do for a 4 bdrm, 4 
bath house in Bergen County (on 2 acres). In that district, 90 
something % of the kids are proficient and 88% of the costs are born 
by the town.

See nifty interactive map:
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2007/12/11/nyregion/20071212_JERSE
Y_GRAPHIC.html

So, if my $$ is not even needed for the schools should we not pay 
lower taxes? Oh, crap, I forgot about the 108 cops :)

For resale too it stinks bc a lot of the new condos got a tax 
abatement, right? I do not have such an abatement.

[AsburyPark] Re: Abbott $

[fancypaaantz]

Yes, clearly it is the proximity to the city that is the draw, while 
here it is proximity to the ocean. The question that I was asking 
was... What finally made the school system turn around and start 
putting up some decent #s. According to this article, Hoboken is 
still in the Abbott Program and most of the students who attend 
public school are poor.

There was a period that a few out there might recall, I must of been around 35 
years ago - 
when there were fires which seemed every night.  Lots of old buildings burned.

Yea - look across the harbor. someone realized that new york is 10 minutes 
away. It did 
happen in 1985. All my friends rented these giant warehouse apartments - 
unfinished. Put 
up basketball courts etc. A couole guys bought a dive bar. 

Me, in 1985 I got married.

There was another guy in the 80's who started in hoboken - Dean Geibel. It was 
an 
opportunity to take  - a risk.

Also, hobo has business, new and renovated housing, is MINUTES not hours from 
NYC, a 
commuter dream and MONEY MONEY MONEY. 
Those damn young and old carpetbaggers.

If you collect taxes, have a tax base - you don't need STATE and FED funds to 
run a school 
system.

they do. That is supposed to work. Smaller class sizes etc etc, 

The highschool will have 550 kids if I heard correctly. Ocean Twp - around 
1400. EACH 
class has over 400 kids


Imagine if you paid your fair share of school taxesyou don't. You taxes are 
going to 
running the city itself.

Private school. Cheaper.  

The explanation is that these kids have to be mainstreamed or there are more 
kids that 
need special assistance.

I've said it before - Ocean Township could be an abbott district. We have 
plenty of kids 
that were "gentrified" from AP I think we have around 1500 or more apartments 
in OT (not 
saying that apartments are a problem - there are plenty of problems in those 
mansions as 
well).

[AsburyPark] Census Tracts

[Jennifer]

Mario,
According to the Census Bureau, tracts are Census "tracts are small, 
relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county. Tracts are 
delineated by a local committee of census data users for the purpose 
of presenting data. Census tract boundaries normally follow visible 
features, but may follow governmental unit boundaries and other non-
visible features in some instances; they always nest within counties.
Designed to be relatively homogeneous units with respect to 
population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions, 
census tracts average about 4,000 inhabitants."

There are 65,443 census tracts in the United States.  Then there are 
metropolitan statistic areas (MSA).  Monmouth/Ocean is an MSA and our 
median incomes are based on data for all the tracts in both 
counties.  It is interesting because there is such a variation 
between towns and areas in the two counties, but they're stuck 
together probably forever.

We use FFIEC a lot.  When someone is going to buy a house, I run it 
through FFIEC first.  Then if it is a census tract, I dangle the 
opportunity for a CRA loan to my lenders.  Lenders usually portfolio 
their CRA loans rather than sell them so they can make a lot of 
concessions.  Most will discount the rate, waive PMI and lower 
closing costs.  

Jennifer

[AsburyPark] Re: Abbott $

[fancypaaantz]

Hoboken was pretty bad too, until recently. I wonder what happened 
in Hoboken to finally turn things around in the school. Anyone know? 
As Hoboken is another historic city that went through 
gentrification, although never quite had the crime rate/poverty that 
AP has/had. The gentrification of Hoboken, I believe, started in the 
80s. By about 2000, all the yuppies were there in very expensive 
apartments ... You can see the scores below have only just started 
to get better. Was it just that only young people lived there until 
recently, and now families live in Hoboken too, and those families 
demand better schools? Or did something else happen?

[AsburyPark] Re: Abbott $

[rook782]

I wonder if the kids are aware of how much a year is spent on each of 
them?  It would be an interesting survey a teacher could conduct with 
his or her class.  

Maybe the school district should spend a day showing them how much 
that money would buy in the real word, compare it to other schools, 
the median household income in Asbury Park vs other towns, etc.

Why don't we ask them to compete in grades and rank with the other 
schools?  Like you are all on the same team against Red Bank.

[AsburyPark] Re: Abbott $

[fancypaaantz]

It makes me angry. All that money they are spending, not to mention 
my property taxes are $7200 for a tiny house, and the scores are 
horrible... And if I have kids in the relatively near future, I 
cannot send them to school here. So I would either pay super high 
property taxes plus private school tuition or move. Jees, with the 
money they are spending, they could almost hire a teacher for every 
2 kids!
