Oh cry me a frickin river, sheesh!!!
New Jersey is a very comfortable state to live in. With the exception of a handful of ghetto parts, the vast part of it is either suburbs or farmland.
Reasons to like NJ:
[*]no tax on food and clothing
[*]full service on gasoline along with cheaper gas prices than neighboring states at least
[*]lots of 24-hour diners
[*]shopping convenience of many malls
[*]proximity to Philly and NYC for when you want to go out

What the heck is wrong with Virginia? Besides Nova, we have lots of things going for us. Primarily rural state, with beautiful countryside, scenic mountains, the Blue Ridge Parkway, reasonable state taxes, wonderful highways, not too hot in the summer, not too cold in the winter, the state actually follows the 2nd amendment, free refills, and nice people. What's not to like?
as well as Atlantic City and Washington DC.
also, Great Schools for the most part.
A culture of education among High School kids because of proximity to Princeton (theres a negative there too tho for kids that DON'T make it to an Ivy league school feeling inferior) but it raised their expectations of themselves.
Highest population density and 2nd Highest Income per capita which is GREAT for businessmen. if you want a small business, consulting or whatever, NJ is the best place in the US for it.

That's wonderful, judge an entire state based on one of its worst cities. By your logic, the entire state of Indiana must be just like the city of Gary.
You mean the rest of Indiana isn't flat with nothing to see?
Just curious, how come it's "I hate NJ" and not "I hate business travel" or "I hate steakhouses" or "I hate eating in new restaurants" or "I hate ordering soda" or even "I hate Newark". Isn't is a bit much to hate a whole state just for that one incident?
He's from Virigina
need I say more ? btw, ridgewood is nice
just getting to that area is a pain in the arse I lived in NJ for about a year, hated it, mostly because of my job, but there are some things that drove my batty.
Paying a toll just to drive about anywhere.
Almost every single phone call you make is a toll call. Not only that, but you dont even know it's a toll call half the time because unlike the rest of the US, you don't have to dial a 1 before calling. Heck I've had to pay local toll calls to towns about 15 minutes away, it's ridiculous.
However not all was lost, I did like the fact that there were lots of awesome asian grocery stores there. But that's about it...

my dad offered to take me somewhere for lunch once, after i had been working all morning doing heavy yardwork (pruning with a chainsaw....)
i was thirsty...reallly thirsty, so i suggested a burger place with huge cups and free refills...no no
he didnt want that
so, we went to a sportsbar, i had 4 cokes at $1.25 each, plust the $9 meal...
i laugh at you dad
again, you speak without knowing.
Any highly densely populated area will have the same situation. southern cal, greater chicago, ny Metro.
That just reinforces the fact that the East Coast is full of pretentious asstards who charge 2.5x more than any other part of the country soley because the people there are stupid enough to pay it.
Go to a top-notch restaurant in LA and while you'll pay $50 a plate, they'll still give you free refills.
pretentious? you are comparing the East Coast to LA and you want to talk PRETENTIOUS?? Home of Hollywood, Rodeo Drive and you call the EAST COAST PRENTIOUS?

I lived in NJ for close to 6 years (Wyckoff). Since I moved to the US, I've lived in Rochester, NY, Hermosa Beach, CA, Lenexa, KS (KC suburb) and Pleasanton, CA (East Bay of SF). My different jobs have taken me all over the USA.
I like NJ the best out of all the places I've lived.

People like PlatinumGold who have inferiority complexes will always try to defend their P.O.S. state.
NJ--------------->Out of sight, out of mind.................They want to be noticed, however, like California (or Manhattan)--the envy of the world.
NJ---------------> THE ARMPIT OF THE ENTIRE EAST COAST!

btw, if you had read my post a bit above yours, you'd see, that my home state and home town are Atlanta, GA.
That's because they had to pay for the 2 inch deep puddle of grease under your eggs.

Thread should def be changed to "I hate Jersey drivers". I don't know what it is with them, but they can't drive. I'm sure there are a handful that can, but the vast majority has no idea what they're doing. Don't get me wrong, there are many people in New York that suck at driving as well, but when it's noticable that an entire state can't drive, that's when you know things are bad. I live on the border of New York/New Jersey. Can someone explain why they can't drive?
