Shhhhhhhh. NJ is great. Lets keep it a secret now.

Newark is a big ctiy. With any city there are good parts and some bad parts. I know you really wanted to say stay out of the bad areas in Newark. Newark is coming back. Downtown, Ironbound section, Arts Center. NJ Devils in the future.

Since you are from Queens. You wouldn't tell people not to go Queens because of just Jamaica.

Douglaston, Little Neck, BaySide and Fresh Meadows are also in Queens and they are good places.

its not wonder your income median is 160k, you thieves.

We only have 3 toll roads, and of course many of the bridges and tunnels to other states have tolls. The money has to come from somewhere... by having tolls, we have lower gas taxes (very cheap gas), and the cost of maintaining the roads is covered by the people who use them the most.

That's awesome. By keeping people like you out, NJ is able to claim the title of having the nation's best town to live in.

I was watching some documentary on the mayoral race a few years back in newark. I think the candidates for running were James and Booker. The current mayor there did some pretty dirty tactics to get his position in office...

"Best place to live" or not. All it means is that you're a spoiled rich brat who lives in a totally lameass state.

lol....actually I was far from rich growing up and I didn't live in Moorestown. I do however live there now with my beautiful wife, and I have been able to afford to live here by working hard. Yes I have some money now, was I born into a rich family....no. I think what you need "EyeMWing" is to stop being so angry at life, maybe you should seek some help for the anger problem. I think anger like that usually stems from someone who doesn't like themselves very much (low self esteem), they have drugs for that now.

I know that place quite well, we always went out there for certain reasons in high school ;) I'm pretty sure that number is just for air pollution.

CreativeTom,

I've had lengthy discussions with friends about this article. In fact, my roommate is from Moorestown.

First off, read the article. Their reasoning is ridiculous. The school system is good because they had to hire a second Latin teacher? Are you kidding? My high school had three latin teachers, that doesn't make it a good school. Also, look at who they ranked top50 from PA. YORK. They left out the nice areas of PA, like delco and bucks county, as well as parts of Berks, for YORK? That alone invalidates their entire study in my opinion. Also, from the way they describe it...I'd wouldn't want to live there. Sounds BORING.

As for Jersey in general...with the exception of Central Jersey(which most Jerseyites claim doesn't count), Jersey has NO IDENTITY. South Jersey? Suburb of Philly(the article explicitley states that 50% of the work force commutes to Philly). North Jersey? Suburb of NYC. You don't watch your own sports teams, there are two in central jersey, no one in Jersey even likes them...its all Philly and New York fans. Hell, you HAVE two NFL teams, and neither of them will even be associated with the state. I've never heard of the New Jersey Giants.

What the fvck is a jug handle for? Its the worst traffic design ever. Never heard of a left turn lane? Its awful. Circles aren't much better...in fact they are worse. Jersey roads are terrible.

Jersey sucks, and thats a scientific fact.
