Every senior in town is subsidizing the residents with children in school.
Without exception, every time a senior sells their home it’s purchased by new residents with children in schools.
If the historic trend accelerates (due to expected tax increases because of Governor elect Murphy’s promises ) then our taxes will go up exponentially as seniors move away.
The best way to keep our property taxes to a minimum is to keep our seniors , empty nesters , and those residents without children in the schools.
For the tax dollars the seniors pay they get virtually nothing in return. And do so cheerfully and willingly.
