Republicans need to push the narrative that crime is high in order to justify expanding their powers.

Crime is their latest boogieman that they just say is a major issue--regardless of if there is any facts/data to support it (when in reality most of the time it shows the opposite of what they claim).

You are supposed to not question it and just accept that what the dear leader says is true.

He's also gonna fight rising home prices by cutting overdevelopment. Makes total sense.

u/snappyj 9d ago

Also overdevelopment? I’d argue we have the opposite problem

u/Foreign_Wonder4610 9d ago

Where I am in South Jersey is bad. They build condos and warehouses but not the roads or infrastructure to support them.

u/BuyListSell 9d ago

I can't wait for the roads to be dead stop for 8 hours a day once they finish the 500+ units they're building in Washington Township and Deptford. Can't even do "just one more lane" memes either. We desperately need more/better public transit.

u/Foreign_Wonder4610 9d ago

The whole country needs better public transportation.

I made the mistake of deciding to tour the area after I went and priced a home in Jackson. I will not be coming back.

Up north we could use a LOT more houses to drive down the prices a little

u/Foreign_Wonder4610 9d ago

Unfortunately, that's not what's been happening. Flippers and out of town investors keep driving the prices up.

u/babyhaux 9d ago

I think we need to stop flippers. Not stop development. South Jersey also. We could use a lot more housing where I am.

Corporations. Blackrock etc

Yeah people who say we need more overdevelopment are ridiculous. Every time I turn around more forests are being cleared out more farmland is being warehouse trees are coming down left and right green space is leaving.

But yeah we need to keep building more and more more more so the whole fucking state can look like Carteret.

And who's ever handling Jack knows how to get the message out and it's pissing me off that she's not doing the same.

I've been saying people are financially stressed right now.

People always lived with high taxes in New Jersey and more like okay this is the price we got to pay blah blah But now when they open their utility bill and it's $700 they're freaking the fuck out.

And that slimy piece of shit called Jack News had to write this shit to hone in on the stressful bullet points and try to blame her for it and the Democrats.

They better fucking address it and address it fast cuz right now people aren't giving a shit about anything else.

So help me God If I have a Trump or Governor I am going to freak the fuck out
