Get your money ready, boys and girls... The ultimate in waterfront living is currently under construction. And I mean real waterfront, not the developer definition (which generally means that water at some time since the country was founded flowed within 3 miles of that location)

I don't know any info about pricing, but don't expect it to be cheap. Most all of the units for sale will have water views.

From what I have seen, the 1BR housing market has not lost nearly as much steam as the 2BR market. There are plenty of example of nice apartmetns in good buildings sitting on the market for over a year.

In Washington Common, prices dropped to $400 a square foot for two bedrooms on many apartments before they sold.

There are fantastic apartments available in Zephyr lofts for UNDER $400 sqft(MLS: 8000720) This is a beautiful 1355 sqft apartment with high ceilings. Take a look at the pictures below.

The contract negotiations between the Bayonne Police &amp; Fire Department workers and the city of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Bayonne</st1lace></st1:city> have begun this week. No mention has been made in any publications as of yet, however this is a pivotal issue to the taxpayers of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Bayonne</st1lace></st1:city>. The city currently has an operating budget of approximately $52million a year. However the city is also running a deficit of about $25 million a year (feel free to check my numbers, I am opining off the cuff here). <o></o>

Even allowing for some variation in my numbers, there is no doubt that the city has a clear path in negotiations. They must offer no increase in pay &amp; benefits to the PD &amp; FD, unless layoffs are considered to offset any additional costs.<o></o>

Currently the country is headed into a recession.  This means tougher times are ahead for all of us. No one will be exempt from the suffering. With this in mind, the city should consider requesting concessions from PD &amp; FD. In lieu of laying workers off, this would ensure that all workers keep their jobs and keep working when many in the private sector will be losing theirs. <o></o>

I have been told many times by city officials that government should not be compared to the private sector. But what the government is in denial about is that it is the private sector that funds it. The government relies on tax income to fund its operations. However, you can only raise taxes so far before you begin to devalue the private sectors greatest asset: our homes. As tax prices go up, home prices will fall. Couple that with the jobs that many of us will be losing or the cuts in pay many of us will be forced to take in the private sector and the city will create a perfect storm for itself. <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Bayonne</st1:city></st1lace> will see an increase in foreclosures in homes and an inability of taxpayers to pay taxes.

It is time to take a tough stand for the taxpayers of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Bayonne</st1lace></st1:city>. <o></o>

Does anyone know what became of the "Mobile Precinct",a "state of the art" fortress-like truck which was to be sent to local hot spots to ensure overwhelming police presence to prevent crime and citizen unrest? It was probably purchased with federal grant funds, but was almost never used. Whatever happened to it?
