And show Woodbridge mall which has like 37% vacant stores. Quit showing Menlo Park mall. Johnson & Johnson is in by North Brunswick. Not even close. Do your homework before posting so you don’t give people false info.

57 year old jersey girl, born and raised and nobody asks the real question here. WHY WHY WHY is New Jersey overcrowded? Because everyone wants to live here. If it’s so bad here, why do they keep coming. Oh and btw…….when driving on Nj highway, KEEP RIGHT UNLESS TO PASS! STAY OUT OF THAT LEFT LANE AND MOVE OVER WHEN SOMEONE IS TAILGATING YOU!

and if your struggling in your state NJ is should be the last place. Jersey has some really awesome towns but if you need the money, if you don’t got the money you might have to stay in the most dangerous cities in the Northeast.

NJ is definitely great place to live but they can’t survive without Metropolitan from NY and PA.. Cities are very limited like Newark, Trenton and all the costs are super expensive include insurance (property, health, car), rent, housing, education related, sports activities, tolls etc..

New Jersey is overcrowded, the roads are like a race track tailgating ,people drive fast,high. Drunk and, will run ya off the road. I was pulling out of my driveway one time the speed limit is 35 MPH and, out of nowhere a large teenager was behind the wheel of an ford expedition. He was driving like 80 and, luckily I pulled up and, if I didn’t he would of hit me . Let’s be real! You will need a bumper car to survive 😂

I've lived in South Jersey my entire life (63 years). There are things I like about NJ, but more that I can't stand. Both property taxes and insurance are expensive. When you're a widow on a fixed income, that can be a challenge. I don't have a lot of traffic where I live, but I have 3 major roads near me. I can hear traffic almost 24/7. There are times it keeps me up at night. It's hard to go anywhere in the state without hearing traffic. It's also hard to find a place that doesn't have light pollution. Makes it hard to star gaze. There are a lot of regulations in NJ. Some I could do without. For instance, if I were to have a house built, it would have to be a certain square footage. I don't NEED that much room for me and the dog. As much as possible, I avoid both traffic and toll roads. It's rare for me to have to use the turnpike. And I don't use either the Atlantic City or Garden State parkway. I avoid 40 from Woodstown to 55 as much as possible during the summer. And where 42 and 295 come together, I only drive that if I have to. If I need to pick someone up or drop them off at Philly international, I take back roads, then cut over to 322. It's much easier with less traffic. I have mixed feelings on not being able to pump my own gas. If you like to canoe/kayak, there are plenty of places to go around here. You just have to watch out for beaver dams. If you own a horse, there are plenty of places to ride, though you do need a permit for some trails. But, if you don't already have the land, it's hard to buy anything affordable.

Hey @dizzysdoings! Thanks for sharing your experience living in South Jersey, especially with all the details. It really gives a good sense of what it's like! The cost of living, especially with property taxes and insurance, sounds tough, and I can see how that would be especially challenging. Appreciate your tips on the best back roads to take and the insight into some of the local outdoor activities. Sounds like you’ve found a way to make the most of it, even with the challenges.

Great description. You are correct, property taxes are outrageous. And, there is a state income tax.Very little goes to infrastructure. Probably because they give up to 90% of base pay to retired government workers, teachers included. Also, don't try to pump your own gas. NJ apparently thinks their residents are too incompetent and might blow up their cars. The 'law' can arrest you for that 'offense'. Another word on expressways: If you happen to get off on the wrong exit, many, if not most, exits have no access/frontage roads or turn-arounds. And there are few if any entrance lanes that allow one to get up to highway speed when entering the expressway. You might want to do a description of the South Jersey retirement communities. Homes are smaller, but more affordable. Finally, 'back in the day', New Yorkers would invade NJ, especially the malls, during the holidays. NJ had a lower sales tax. Has that changed? I left NJ almost 50 years ago and never looked back. However, if you are wealthy, New Jersey can be a great place to live. At least it has all four seasons, which is about the only thing I miss, being in deep South Texas.
