Forbes Advisor has released its rankings of the best and worst cities in America for renters, and it isn’t looking good for renters in New Jersey. Newark ranks dead last among the nation’s 96 largest cities in the Forbes survey, which crunched data from 23 metrics to determine the best and worst markets for renters.
Newark, with its combination of low incomes, high rents, high crime, and small apartment size earned a zero score in the survey, dropping it below Hialeah, Florida, as the city that offers renters the least bang for buck.
The survey found that 55% of Newark residents spend more than 30% of their monthly income on rent. The median family income in Newark is $32,000, so any rent increase eats into money that is set aside for other essentials, like food, clothing, and health care.

The end of the line for a classic Vegas Casino is near...
It looks like the Trop - The Strip's second-oldest casino hotel - is set for demolition sometime in the near future. It's being torn down - imploded actually - to make room for the Oakland A's new baseball stadium. I'd imagine the new stadium will have to be domed and air-conditioned. If you've ever been to Vegas in July you know what I'm talking about. 115 by noon time is pretty standard there in the height of summer.

Since the mid-1800s, geographically large but sparsely populated swaths of the country have tried to break off into their own state or country, and name themselves the State of Jefferson. It’s happened in Texas, the Kansas Territory and the border between California and Oregon.

Speaking of clusterfucks...
From a NY Post article - Customers of one of America’s biggest airlines are expressing outrage after the implementation of a new boarding method, known as WILMA.
Starting Thursday, those flying economy on United flights around the country began boarding with the new system, which sees passengers in window seats enter the aircraft first, regardless of the row.
Those booked into middle seats subsequently board the plane, followed by those in aisle seats. United says the system helps ease congestion of the plane’s aisles and ultimately speeds up the time it takes for all fliers to take their seats

Annette never lost her beauty and allure. I miss those times where beautiful ladies were viewed as pure...
ReplyDeleteSaw her in Reno in the late 90's. She was in a wheelchair, having dinner with her family. Even though she had trouble moving, she was just as beautiful as she always was.
DeleteRegarding Wilma, the aisle people will be pissed when all the overhead baggage is taken by the time they get on board....eventually there will be trouble....I always thought the idea of boarding from the rear of the plane forward was a helluva good idea.....some fucking college educated twit put an end to that, because "he had a better idea"....not so much....
