No, no campsites are going to let you do that. Even private campgrounds have quiet hours.
Just do what we did in the old days.....wander into the pine barrens far enough where nobody gives a shit. Also, clean up after yourselves.

Don't open the door for the police unless you called them. If I didn't call them, then we're talking through a closed door.

> They talk about SNAP and affordable food...will vendors be forced to sell things at a certain price? Because I can picture mangoes going for $5 each here.
A friend of mine is a vendor who sells at multiple farmer's markets. They accept SNAP/EBT, but it's at regular prices. While the prices are often higher at farmer's markets, they are also often held in urban areas where fresh produce and other items aren't locally available (food deserts).

The lack of information in the article leads me to suspect he walked out of a rehab facility looking to score.
I could be 100% wrong, but that's the first thought that came to me.

You should have focused on:
>** except where entry is given by law,**
By the terms of the lease, you consented to entry for the purposes of extermination service.

You don't need anybody to tailgate with. Bring some food, your beverage of choice, and a game (cornhole, etc) and make friends with your parking lot neighbors. I've been to a few Giants games and the tailgating crowd is extremely friendly.

Reply to The last Futuro house in NJ by FGoose
I remember there was one in Toms River back in the 80s that was used as a bank near the ShopRite & Bradlees on 37.
Then there was one in Seaside in the free parking lot.

I'm certainly no expert on property taxes, but it's not absurd that a house on the island has higher property taxes.
There's also a ton of other reasons why property taxes vary. Look at a place like Longport. Obviously, it's a very affluent area but their tax rates are some of the lowest around. Then look at places like Egg Harbor City & Absecon. They have higher property taxes than Galloway.

The really sad thing is that lone house. That's beach-block, ocean-front property in the most densely populated state in the union. The rest of the towns on the island, Ventnor, Margate, and Longport are experiencing a building boom. They're squeezing in development to the point of bursting. They're tearing down existing houses to build bigger, more expensive houses.
In Atlantic City, you have multiple blocks on the ocean-front that look like this, or worse.

Reply to Anyone noticed Shoprite trying to suck up profits wherever possible? The Managers special discounts have gone from 70% off down to 30% off by DRdidgelikefridge
There are two Shoprites near me. One location consistently has the manager's specials at 30%, while the other one goes between 30%-60%.

I definitely prefer TJ's & Wegmans. The only problem is, I'm 45 minutes away from the closest locations.
The only viable options in my area are Shoprite or Acme. There are Aldi & Lidl locations closer to me that opened in the last couple years, so I do use them from time to time.
I've found that I put up with Shoprite for essentials, then end up planning larger outings for going the 45 minutes to TJ's, Wegmans, Whole Foods, and Sprouts near Marlton.

It's Jersey Shore, more than North Jersey, but Jameson's in Neptune does excellent friend chicken. It's southern/soul food.
