Property Taxes - 7/26/2011
NJ has been voted the #1 state for the highest property taxes in all of the US beating out California. We own a 4,000 sq. ft. home on one acre and our property taxes are about $17,000/yr., most of it going toward the public schools. It's a beautiful state with pristine beaches; close proximity to NYC & PHL; many cultural activities; local theaters; beautiful bike paths. For all it's beauty and all it has to offer, this is not the state to turn to for retirement.

Highways - 7/22/2011
New Jersey, a small densely populated state, criss-crossed with too many highways, many of them old and crowded. Why do I remain here? I ask myself every day!

Cost of living is off the hook! Traffic! No time - 5/16/2011
My wife and I make close to $90,000 a year and it is tough to get by. Property taxes are rediculously high. Traffic is bad every day of the week. I believe that people are the same everywhere. There's good and bad where ever you go. The problem here is that everyone is so crowded and in such a hurry they sometimes just don't take the time to be nice. I'm originally from a town in Tennessee where you smile and speak to strangers on the street, where strangers will often wave to you as you drive by their house. I sometimes do that here and get very positive responses. People are the same

Fills our needs - 3/13/2011
The state offers the best in recreational areas - mountains, beaches, playgrounds, lakes, etc. Great shopping - endless malls everywhere and discount outlet stores. Wonderful theatre and concert venues in Newark and the State Theatre in New Brunswick. Close access to NYC by bus, train and car - very important to us transplanted New

Many bad guys past - 3/7/2011
Our new governor is in the hot seat. He has to reverse the graft laden damage that the previous 3 governors have bestowed on our wonderful state. Hope he can stand up to the barrage of pushback, run amuck unions, ridiculously high state salaries & overlapping multiple state pensions. Without all that NJ is one of the best pieces of real estate in the nation. If you come, come join the fight to take her

New Jersey - 2/14/2011
New Jersey is a great place to live and raise kids. The state has everything to offer such as urban, suburban, and rural lifestyles. Location is ideal in that you have the ocean to the east, mountains to the west. The northern part of the state tends to be a little colder and has great places for winter sports. Within an easy drive you have access to New York, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C. In the state, itself, there are many cultural, arts, and recreational activities. The school systems are very good.
When it comes down to it...I have been trying to leave the state for years always thinking the grass is greener someplace else. Every time I look, I just can't find another place that has so much to offer. So happiness truly can be found in your own pack yard. I am proud to be from New

Unaffordable - 1/14/2011
This state is unaffordable unless you are wealthy. The housing costs and property taxes are through the roof. The average person can only live paycheck to paycheck with little to no ability to save for retirment.

Cost of living - 12/19/2010
Cost of living in New Jersey is high. Sales tax 7%, Exit tax if you move out of the state, toll roads every where, 5 different state tax lines out of your paycheck. Recreation is very limited. If you are a hard worker you will usually be able to find work in this state, just be ready to give a lot of your money back to the state, but its better than being
