We probably have the highest property tax rate in the state by price paid per square footage so I don’t think we have a very low rate by all metrics.

It's impossible to have a rational conversation with someone who willfully ignores the basic facts. Property taxes are based on property value. PERIOD. There is no such thing as "our property tax rate is high when calculated based on square footage" because that's not even a thing. You are trying to change the definition to fit your idea of how things are or should be, but that's not a rational thing to do. The conversation is quite simple: in the state of NJ, we have one of the lowest property tax rates. That's an incontrovertible fact.

We also live in the densest part of Nj, density should beget more efficient use of taxes, we’re not a small county in nj which for no good reason has its own PD and FD and school admin

It’s that’s people have only moved into JC / Hudson county over the last several years. Our taxes are gonna go up because it’s becoming now an expensive place to live. They need their money.
