>At this point living in Jersey city is no longer cheaper than living in New York.
So, that's really your issue? You came here thinking/hoping it was cheaper than NYC and it isn't?

>How much did Jersey City residents pay in state taxes as the second largest city in the state and what are we getting for our state taxes?
I guess you don't know, or realize, that Jersey City is also one of the poorest municipalities in the State of NJ. One in six residents is considered to live in poverty (15.7%) and we are among the 50 poorest towns in NJ. Whatever it is we have contributed to the state in income taxes, it pales in comparison to what we get back compared to most other towns.
