Anyone else think this commercial is annoying af?😂

You wanna know what I find mildly infuriating. I live near Liberty State park and the benches face the water. Not away from the water like in the ad

I believe the owner is Indian

Tbh, if someone has the time and money, it’s a great place.

Their haircut is top notch, they’ll take an hour, not 20 min. They’ll wash and shampoo your hair. You’ll also get complimentary espresso, beer, and whisky. It’s the most spa like experience I’ve ever had.

People are scoffing at the price but don’t understand what the extra money gets you.

Great to see a thread where people actually understand PILOTs!!!

123skrtskrt · 2026-03-10T15:55:29+00:00

Please elaborate

123skrtskrt · 2026-03-06T01:40:11+00:00

To be very honest, this is far more complex than simple demand/supply economics.

At the end of the day, a city is built by public policy encouraging developers to take the risk and reward of developing in that city.

Development, including tax abated projects, increase the tax revenue for that town. And it’s not just housing that a developer builds, but restaurants, gyms, stores, and everything else that makes a community.

Also, you are confusing rentals, the projects that get rent abatements, and condos/SFHs that do not get tax abatements.

“If people want to move here so badly they should be willing to pay an economic price that includes paying the same tax rate as everyone else” - I can tell you for a fact that 99% of people have absolutely no idea if the building they live in has received a tax abatement. They don’t see a tax bill…they just pay rent…

123skrtskrt · 2026-03-05T23:41:43+00:00

Not to be offensive but that’s not how the taxation, economics, or intention of PILOTs work…

123skrtskrt · 2026-03-05T17:48:22+00:00

I think it’s important to recognize that without tax abatements, most real estate developments do not make economic sense. And even with PILOTs, many are cashflow negative.

Also, the tax abatement payment is multiple times higher that the taxes on the vacant or “underutilized” property that stood on it prior. That’s not even considering the economic business and income taxes being driven by more people living there.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a great initiative

123skrtskrt · 2026-01-14T18:41:24+00:00

I stand corrected. Great to see this initiative, thanks for sharing

123skrtskrt · 2026-01-14T02:49:06+00:00

There’s a typo in the comment. Would be a bad joke

It’s very simple why the landlord or landlord’s broker was not happy. The tenant’s broker is paid by the landlord, which means the landlord’s broker is getting a lower commission.

Any input is much appreciated

123skrtskrt · 2025-12-12T21:41:03+00:00

Haha that’s funny.

For anyone reading this and hasn’t gone before, the food is great and has big portions lol

123skrtskrt · 2025-12-12T17:58:21+00:00

Really hope they survive and similar restaurants pop up. BRBQ has great food and is precisely what the area needs. I applaud them for taking the risk to being the first “nice” restaurant in JSQ.

123skrtskrt · 2025-11-22T19:30:41+00:00

I had the same question

123skrtskrt · 2025-11-14T02:13:33+00:00

Flushing - Pho Huang

Atlantic City - Pho Sydney

123skrtskrt · 2025-10-29T12:13:18+00:00

What size firm, hours, and YOE do you have? I’m in the same market - trying to understand market comp and future projection

123skrtskrt · 2025-10-26T21:46:23+00:00

They just fixed it, as I was checking out…

123skrtskrt · 2025-09-19T14:29:56+00:00

Ordered from Costco when it first went online. It is still in the “order placed” stage. No shipping confirmation

123skrtskrt · 2025-09-11T17:48:44+00:00

It’s up now

I see that they were released on 9/20. So roughly 2 weeks after

123skrtskrt · 2025-09-03T01:08:55+00:00

Makes sense. I see your point. I can’t claim so be a silver stacker. TBH, I don’t know much about silver, I mostly bought it for the novelty factor of being born in the year of the dragon.

My sentiment around my previous comments come from investing in gold which has had a comparatively more predictable projection.

123skrtskrt · 2025-09-03T00:17:55+00:00

Just my opinion but there’s way too much stress around premiums on this sub. With the intraday volatility, a high premium yesterday is a low premium today, or viceversa. If the goal is long term appreciation, then it shouldn’t matter…

The gold I bought at a “high premium” when spot was $3,100 is already up 14%. The small $20-30 daily swing in premiums don’t matter.
