New Jersey

In my opinion New Jersey's most appealing attribute is it's proximity to 2 metropolitian areas, the coastline & beaches, and the Pocono Mountains, and Atlantic City. The state has many exclusive affluent places to live, but as a whole the state is not worth it. The tax burden is near the top (if not the highest) in the country. The urban areas have been neglected/ decaying for years, the population density has pitted poverty right next to plenty and generaaly speaking the people seem to be proud of their "Jersey Attitudes" which at best could be described as inconsiderate and rude if not outright hostile towards eachother. Still, as far as places in the Northeast, New Jersey is certainly not the worst place on the map.
