I think it is too late for NJ to recover and our house will be on the market very soon. NJ offers a lot to people who have good paying jobs but the high taxes just don’t make sense unless you are using the public school system. The debt burden is out of control and while It is not right that the state has not contributed to the public pension system, the public pension system needs an overhaul. Those promises and deals the union struck were unsustainable in the long run. Begin by eliminating the pension abuse of padding in the final years, payouts for unused sick time and eliminating eligibility for part time employees. Long gone are the days when public employees’salaries where lower to compensate for delayed remuneration in the form of a generous defined pension and medical benefits.
And promoting people just before retirement so that their lifelong payouts will be greater. That’s just wrong.
why would you sell your house?
NJ is becoming a utopian sanctuary state – we even give free education to illegal aliens.

How can that not be good for real estate values???

Don’t worry about the crashing standing or RW schools… I’m sure the pretty trees and the “tradition” of excellence and the gay flag in Van Neste and the Ginormous Garage will increase the value of your house.
