Update: My football parking link wasn't working, so I called in to handle it. I asked about hoops and he said that they moved NOBODY to the 100s this year. I have to believe this isn't the case, and told him I personally knew 2 people who gave up their tickets in the 100s. He said he didn't know anything about that and he was told nobody moved.

Your ticket rep shouldn't lie. People aren't stupid. The answer the rep should have given you is very few seats opened up because very few people didn't renew.

Just 18 months ago it was "we're not taking shortcuts and we're building the Young Knicks" with RJ Barret, Quickley and Grimes.
Going to get Zion to reunite the Duke 3 (with Cam Reddish).

Then traded them all away (along with nearly all their draft picks) for KAT, OG and Bridges.
Now they are firing their HC and maybe trying to trade for Durant or Giannis (chasing star players from other teams).

So much for the Knicks being "different".

Well, you can only be different for a limited time in NY.

Why is it a family all of a sudden. Your story was single teacher or police. Now it’s a family gotcha. Keep changing the metrics. And like I said I live in the area. And there are plenty of civil servants. Most of my kids teachers live in those towns or in the town we live

That's the town he picked. I think we could do this exercise for most towns north of Toms River. To be fair, it's less of an issue in South Jersey. But that doesn't help people with jobs elsewhere.

Some teachers have summer jobs, sure. But that means they need care for children in that time too.

160k sounds nice. But we're talking people deep into their careers in a very expensive region. Even at 200, the estimate would be they could afford a 600k home- that's not going to get you a detached home in Wall that doesn't require another several hundred k in work.

More than anything, I'm just missing why it's objectionable to have a new home development anywhere in NJ where 20% of homes are affordable (essentially what the law provides). The only objection I can conceive of is that home affordability isn't an issue, and it's hard of me to conceive that anyone could agreed with that in 2025. I can only then conceive of NIMBYism.

No it’s the town you picked last time you brought this same argument up. And we’re proven wrong. But keep throwing shit out there it will eventually stick. And why would public servants only allowed to marry public servants. Live near many and there are only 2 that are married to other public servants. And guess what they are the only ones who were able to retire at 48 and 55. Hahaaha.

Theres this little thing called buying what you can afford at a certain time in your life. Was your first real estate transaction in the greatest neighborhood and everything you would want 10-15 years down the road? Mine wasn’t. I bought a 2 br condo. And built up equity. To then move to another place a step up from there. And you know what eventually we got to our forever home. 15-20 years down the road. Because we built up equity and moved up to better.

Football Rutgers Football QB Ajani Sheppard to enter the Transfer Portal

GoodOl'Rutgers said:
He would have had more success at Rutgers than Wimsatt did... just a guess, of course. I think we would have been better off with a real passing threat to go with a great running game. Again, unprovable. But there is a real reason top programs and NFL teams want dual-threat QBs... so I see why we tried Wimsatt.
Click to expand...

Okay maybe - but look, at that time, it’s not even certain he would’ve beaten out Evan Simon. Just because he’s turned into a better player now, does not mean that’s what he was when he left Rutgers. In that 2023 year, Cole led Buffalo to a 3-9 season. It’s not like he exactly was excelling somewhere else while we struggled with Wimsatt.

Think about the history. I know Cole was a true frosh in 2019, but the fact that he only got 3 snaps on a team where every QB quit except Langhan is notable. I know we didn’t have a stable coaching staff then - but still. He was clearly not ready to step up to starter in 2020 as Vedral came in and beat him out, retaining the starting role in 2021. After 3 years on the bench not playing, he moved on. I just don’t see how we mishandled him in any way. Most QBs aren’t going to stick around anywhere after 3 years of riding the bench - and he deserved to be on the bench in 2020 and 2021. Vedral earned the starting role and Cole doesn’t even beat out Evan Simon who comes in after him for the QB 2 spot. Schiano is a family man - I’m just saying, I don’t see how he could’ve handled it better to try and convince Cole to hang around for a 4th season on the bench. Vedral was the projected starter. Wimsatt was the prize recruit just brought in a year early from HS. What could / should he have said to keep Cole at Rutgers?

Football season tickets for 30+ years, hoops for 20+ years, and season tickets for other sports. Have been trying to move to 100s for a while now, and have requested multiple times. I have not received an email, phone call, or any other contact about hoops tickets aside from the standard email saying my credit card was about to be charged.

People are thinking Hurley but I’m thinking they have an agreement with Malone in place. I can’t see them firing Thibbs without an almost fool-proof replacement plan in the works. Thibbs had his faults, but he certainly was successful in NY.

Sounds very reasonable deal with Malone was there , making Thibbs expendable and any search to replace him just for show

Strikes me as kind of unfair to say...well you grew up in Wall and want to live there as a cop or teacher? Too bad, buck up and move south...and then say at the same time...all those places are bad and should be avoided.

Essentially....there's a problem, but it's not on us to fix it, when good solutions stare us in the face.

If anyone read the example in Red Bank from the the redbankgreen blog above, between the State politicians and their horrendous Mt. Laurel requirements and the local zoning boards, it is no wonder housing is so expensive. The bigger problem, however, is the investors and big builders buying up the lower end homes, demolishing and renovating them and flipping them for big bucks.
Click to expand...

I'm missing how Mt Laurel increases prices.

It permits more density. More density = more homes. More homes = more supply. More supply = less demand. Less demand = lower prices.

The issue in Red Bank is Red Bank is very small. On the bright side, it's surrounded by other areas in the same school district with similar values. You can walk from northern Shrewsbury to the Red Bank station. The bad part is most of them are also quite expensive. Tinton Falls would be the local cheap area, and it's not that cheap and its schools would be a noticeable step down.

Really, what that area needs is more housing in the areas with extremely large lot zoning- Navesink section of Middletown and Colts Neck being great examples- and ways to get people from there to the ferries and trains and buses.

It's fair to say someone who works in Red Bank can live in Tinton Falls, but strikes me as really unfair to say if they want a detached house moved to Ocean County (and we all know the threads panning it).

They can live in Wall (as many school teachers police do). And any town that touches wall outside of the beach towns of sea girt, spring lake. Neptune, Tinton Falls, Belmar, Brick Howell should I keep going with towns they can and do live in. I live in this area. And it’s not uncommon for the teachers and cops that serve this community to live in town or towns in the surrounding areas. I also have neighbors that live near me that are State troopers and cops/teachers from Edison East Brunswick Sayreville Neptune and Asbury Park firemen.
