@Lloyd Preece

I am moving to Weehawken on June 1st, but I am definitely not buying a home there.

My strategy has been to consistently invest out-of-state. I think this crisis is really going to test that resolve. If prices get low enough, I could change my opinion on a few strategic, investments. That said, NJ is a nightmare on the tax side, and these areas are going to need to cover budget shortfalls. That always means hammering the home owners.
