ParticipantI guess the property tax obtained during the real estate boom wasn’t enough to take care of the neighborhood. I’m not happy w/this. Come on. Places on the boardwalk were selling for 5 million. The tax on one place alone should go a long ways. Unbelievable how the “mismanagement” is so rampant. Still not enough in their pockets. Let’s invent some “special” tax. Don’t want to pay fire or police more money, let’s hire “security guard ambassadors.” WAFJ. If I want to hire a security guard, I don’t need a third-party city to charge me for it. Fine if businesses want to pay. Our tax dollars get spent there and then some. They can write it off, I imagine. This is just so beyond excessive. First proposing paying for parking. Now the taxes. Getting a little much. W/potential to raise it 5% every year. WTF!!

ParticipantHell no.
If they want to raises money for private security let the bar owners pay. At 12 bucks a drink (for 10 cents worth of alcohol) let them provide security for the area….instead of the bar owners snorting up their noses.

ParticipantLittle Italy is the wrong example to use. LI is charming, where PB has been aptly called a ‘sh*t hole.’ I was born here and it’s home for me, but Garnet has way too many bars, tatoo/piercing shops, and resale stores. A few of each would be nice, but they just keep coming. Restaurants like the Belgian Fries place has to beg and plead to be able to serve Belgian beer (don’t know if they finally can), while crappy bars line Garnet. A good hole-in-the-wall bar is key for any neighborhood (Tiki Hut and $2 pints of Guiness!), but we don’t need 35 of them. The businesses that are creating this need while profiting should pay to clean up after themselves. If Garnet were a charming place to stroll, grab some munchies and enjoy a cocktail, I’d pony up my coin with a happy little smile. (Although I already pay $6,300 a year in prop taxes, seems like they could do something with that.)
