My home town in the South changed a lot . I’ve moved away but the town became a city of rental homes . The streets are littered with trash and crime has gone up. It used to be a town where families gathered for parades and picnics. Everyone seem to be friendly and close to each other. The city is no longer the same. The town was full of stores but now is dotted throughout. Empty building and homes. It’s really sad.

I have lived in Ocean Township , Monmouth County NJ since I was born in 1981 and my parents since 1942 and grandparents since 1926, which is why I feel qualified to say that NJ today compared to NJ 30 years ago is unrecognizable. Something swept in like an invisible and inperceptable gas that changed NJ from a state with three very different and unique regions with radically different types of people, landscape, and cultures. From the sand barrens to pine barrens, forests and interconnecting rivers, streams, lakes, and to the mountains and elevations that could be found in the southern, central, and northern regions respectively. I watched Asbury Park during its last decade as the destination for political, cultural, and scientific elites from Washington, DC and NY who built grand victorian homes all over the coastline and within many of Monmouth county's small farming communities like Deal and Colts Neck and Long Branch. I saw the cherry orchardes of Newark, NJ for the first time here in this film, which if you were to go there today not a single cherry tree or cherry for that matter could be found anywhere. The film featured the streams and forests and lakes of central NJ, which remain intact and accessible for those who know where to look. Otherwise, the ever-expanding road system connecting each one of the thousands of private real estate developments with one another and with the local commercial districts supporting them. Places like Shark River Park, Deal Lake, and the farmland of Monmouth Countys interior towns like Colts Neck stil exist but grow more and more vulnerable to the huberis of local politicians looking to line their pockets with the cash and political cache they need to fund their rise inside the state and federal systems. The result is corruption, over development, and a rotating door of weak leaders. Monmouth County in the 80s was a collection of about a dozen towns with older buildings and houses linked together by a few nice middle class developments like mine that had been built in the late 60s and early 70s. Each township seperated by woods and farmland in a few places like Holmdel and Colts Neck, but none less than a ten minute drive from one another. In other words the towns were different and different backgrounds and heritage could be found in each, which is all gone today since development for dollars became the prefered mode by which local political bosses became state and then federal bosses. Overall, the film was a rare glimpse of what NJ once was and I left it with a more acute sense of hopeless and indifference to our ability to use the local political mechanisms as tools for changing the course of NJs future. them in between the thousands of independently built real estate developments

That year there was a vote coming up about allowing casinos in the state and the referendum was defeated by the voters. The casinos wouldn't take NO for an answer and the matter came up for another vote a couple years later after many millions were spent on advertising, including advertising planes flying up and down the state's beaches with banners encouraging voters to vote YES for casinos. The law passed and in came the casinos, the gamblers, the hookers, the drugs, the drunks and all sorts of criminals and riffraff, just like everyone had feared. Presto! Welcome to the new New Jersey.

@Matt Pizzano The government has nothing to do with it. The federal government has been MIA since this 'rona thing hit. What's changed is that AI and automation have eliminated millions and millions of middle class jerbs. The US is now well into the post industrial stage of capitalism. Gains in productivity accrue almost entirely to the people who control capital and resources. The 1% no longer need hordes of worker bees to make them rich. Most of us are now redundant and the super rich would like nothing better than for most of us to die.

New Jersey is still a beautiful place, yet it has changed and some aspects of it have gotten worse, and yes I’ll admit that fact. Yet, I must say, that as a New Jersey resident, a mighty young one may I add at only 16, I feel my state is still beautiful and I love my state so much. For those who’re wondering, I live in northwestern Jersey in Morris County and it also is a bit rural where I live.
