Zambroski Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Fuck those privileged people with driveways, patios and sidewalks! Also, fuck you if you live in an apartment complex and think you shouldn't have a parking lot of grass. Enjoy your rent hike! "These newly created arms of local bureaucracy would be empowered to charge property owners a fee based on the amount of non-permeable surface they own (think: parking lots and driveways).

Gold Member Stephen Hawking Posted February 11, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted February 11, 2019 Some cities and towns in Mass already do this. My mother had a new wider driveway put in and they actually came up to measure it so they knew how much to increase the tax. Fucking stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many towns have requirements on the amount of impervious sf but to tax it just seems nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildboer Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 This is just weird, it already costs a bunch to increase lot coverage where I live in NJ. The building codes already addresses lot coverage and the people who would get hit by this are already forced to apply for a variance and shit. NJ Dems just loveee added bureaucracy though.

Wildboer Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Murphy should be focusing on recovering his fumbled campaign promises on marijuana and dealing with the fact that he hired a dude that raped one of his staffers before he starts trying to increase revenue through bullshit measures like this.

People down there are still getting hit with these ridiculous water bills for thousands of dollars. You can't get ahold of anyone at water dept. My son got a outrageous bill and couldn't talk to anyone, wife finally waited over an hour to speak with someone. Most have to get news involved before they will admit mistake. People down there get taken advantage of a lot. The new thing is predatory towing, where these companies unlawfully take your car & demand huge cash ransom to get it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
