From NAACP Co-Founder to Black Millennial Homeowner

On a mild morning in Forest Hill, sunlight strikes the south-facing breakfast nook at 54 Abington Avenue at an angle that feels deliberate, almost engineered. Framed in 1875, the residence stands as an asymmetrical mass of rusticated brownstone, Roman brick, and steep late-Victorian gables. In the front yard, an autumn cherry blossom has all but a few leaves left to fall, alongside an apple tree. Inside the kitchen, 34-year-old commercial real estate professional Terrell Simmons stands watching the light pool across the restored floorboards.

Only 14% of Paterson residents who sought lower tax assessment won

PATERSON — After a citywide revaluation more than doubled property values in 2026, homeowners attempting to get their assessments lowered had minimal success. About 86% of the 1,391 people in Paterson who filed tax appeals this year were unable to get their property values lowered, said the Passaic County Board of Taxation. That amounted to 1,193 appeals that ended with no change in assessments, said Passaic County spokesperson Lindsay Reed. About 14% — or 199 property owners — prevailed in getting their assessments reduced, officials said. City Council critics of Mayor Andre Sayegh predicted that the dramatic increase in property assessments — along with the taxes that are calculated based on those values — would result in an exodus of Paterson homeowners. Story continues below photo gallery. “People are going nuts about these tax increases,” said Councilman Alex Mendez, who said he helped more than 400 homeowners file appeals earlier this year. “You’re going to see so many foreclosures. It’s a crime we are taking the homes away from these people.” Councilman Michael Jackson said he was not surprised that so few of the tax appeals were successful. Jackson said real estate flipping by developers who shifted properties among their

Election Day fallout, big changes in Rockland: Angle

The midterms are over, and Rockland's gonna see a lot of change come January. A big one: Our two-term member of Congress, Republican Mike Lawler, lost to political newcomer Democrat Cait Conley . (You can find our exclusive Q&A with Conley here .) Though the Pearl River resident was up by more than 8 percentage points in Rockland, according to unofficial results, Westchester pushed the blue wave forward. The pattern became clear election night, even with a Westchester County ballot mess that delayed quick results, and Lawler called Conley election night to concede . Rockland is part of New York Congressional District 17, which also includes Putnam and parts of Westchester and Dutchess counties. That blue wave continued to sweep through Rockland . In state Senate District 38, which encompasses the towns of Orangetown, Clarkstown, Ramapo and Haverstraw, even a shout-out by President Trump on X to Monsey's Jewish community didn't save incumbent Republican Sen. Bill Weber. Democratic challenger Joe Rand got his share of what's often dubbed as the "bloc vote" for its high turnout and frequent unity behind a single candidate. Like this year showed, at least in this race, the bloc vote is not always a monolith.

Jewish man sues officials over 2024 synagogue brawl

A Jewish man who was pardoned after being accused of assaulting a pro-Palestinian protester outside a New Jersey synagogue in 2024 sued a slew of local officials over the matter on Nov. 10. The lawsuit centers on a November 2024 protest outside Congregation Ohr Torah in West Orange, New Jersey. Several dozen anti-Israel demonstrators gathered to protest a real estate fair promoting living in Israel, but it turned into a brawl , with clashes between activists and worshipers. Moshe Glick was charged in part with assaulting protester Altaf Sharif, though he has maintained that he was defending another Jewish man being attacked, David Silberberg. Then-New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy pardoned Glick before leaving office in January. Among other claims, Glick's lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey accuses officials – including the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, the Township of West Orange, and West Orange Police Department personnel – of failing to protect the synagogue and its worshipers despite having advance notice of the demonstration, and of continuing to investigate him despite the pardon. He also alleges that officials violated his First Amendment rights to freedom of religion, free speech and freedom to petition. The lawsuit comes

Op-Ed: The luxury rent control proposal in Jersey City is a vibe-based policy

In an editorial, Jersey City resident Ivan Ovalle gives his take on why he’s deemed the luxury rent control proposal before a City Council a vibe-based policy.
