I have 2 degrees and I'm a teacher... THIS... IS... PERFECTION!

Thanks for the video

Brilliant. You might check out how various organizations divide up the state. I'm thinking of the regional orchestra I played violin in back in the 60's. Summit was in the North Central NJ slot. How's that work today?

As an NJ resident I really appreciate this kind of content.

Liv in many areas of NJ , I never found it to be appealing. Moved to Southeast Florida. Love it.

Sadly, today, it is the people's republic of New Jersey aka commie.

Wow...this was awesome. A lifelong South Jerseyan from Haddonfield who moved down to Texas 6 years ago I struggle to explain to natives just how different NJ is even though it's so small. Obviously they think NJ is just NYC but I try to tell them otherwise. This is a good video to show just how different we are. Thanks!

Did the Utah courts Southern Utah courts of St George Utah or the department of Justice fail to recognize that you were conspirators and accessory to attempted aggravated assault or murder against his mother unresolved issues within the department of Justice the courts and Court administrations and Utah bureau of prisons for unresolved of Judges or individuals who would wrongfully kidnap keep hostage wrongfully can you threats of intimidation or incarceration against the individual they'd already kidnapped or taken hostage and her children

Geographically N Jersey is really small we should all know that lol!

It’s a madhouse in the summer time, you got all the rich slobs from New York and Philly trashing up the shore

The rahway river ought to be the line @1:07

I would say it’s an excellent research work on NJ!

I've been a resident of Ocean County all my life (only 17 years, but still), and even within this county, there's so much diversity! I live in Toms River, which is NJ's 8th biggest local government, and a 10 minute walk north of me is Lakewood, the 7th. The demographics are so drastically different, as Lakewood has an extremely high Jewish population, and is much more urban than my suburban town. 30 minutes west of me, where my girlfriend lives, is New Egypt (Plumsted Township), and it's rural and pine barren-associated. I go to school 20 miles south in Manahawkin, and it's definitely much more suburban and spread out. Long Beach Island is down there, with a lot of fishing, surfing, and relaxed vacationing. Meanwhile, where I work (lifeguarding) just north of Lavalette, near Seaside Heights, is another barrier island with a completely different culture. It's insane how a single county is so diverse: we have the Jersey Shore, Pine Barrens, a bustling almost-city, farmland, theme parks, boardwalks, streams, parks, and wetlands. I also think it's worth pointing out that because of NJ's (frankly dumb) system of local governments, many large municipalities, such as Lakewood, Toms River, Edison, and Woodbridge, are not actually cities: they're townships. The title has to do with government and not population. So Lakewood with 100,000+ people is a township, while Corbin City (Atlantic County) with <1000 is a city. There's also 3 villages, 20-something towns (different from a township), and a whole lotta boroughs.

Roads. I-78, I-295, GSP, perhaps US206 define some of these regions.

Central Jersey is a wacky place. 😂

Central Jersey doesn’t exist

I admire your enthusiasm and dedication to this topic. Nice job. I lived in Union County the first 14 years of my life but I've been here in Florida since 1982.

Nice job Matthew. Well done

Very informative interview. I knew that Native Americans were mistreated by the government, but I don’t think I heard about Indiana. Wish I could say it was shocking.

I've always lived in NW New Jersey, the highlands region, and yes this is a much better way to explain NJ in a cultural context. I read a news article once that I think was in one of the NJ news websites that called us "Rednecks with Paychecks," I got a kick out of that, I can't remember the author to give him credit, but that was great.

Funny how the most dangerous cities in NJ are the most heavily blue politically

This subject will fail 100% of the time No one will ever agree on the lines of north/south

This is a very smart way to break down culture. I believe the Bell Atlantic telephone book broke NJ down into similar regions. I will disagree with your analysis with how “southern NJ” votes. (I label Southern NJ as the mostly rural areas of Salem, Cumberland, Atlantic and Cape May Counties and South Jersey as the mostly suburban areas of Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties.) With the exception of Vineland, Millville and Bridgeton, there aren’t many blue towns in those respective counties. Atlantic is mostly red as well, save mostly for Atlantic City and Pleasantville.

You have a clear passion for New Jersey, great video man!

new jersey's so culturally diverse that it's like a mini representation of the united states lmao

Which parts don't have communist politics?

I loved this video! This fellow shows much more insight than the usual “what exit”? Fascinating!

Woodbridge is Central Jersey. Anything north is North Jersey

Ruined by political references

I grew up in Cherry Hill and lived in Maple Shade and Mount Laurel. We were 15-20 minutes to Philly so we were considered a Philly Suburb. Diehard EAGLES, PHILLIES, SIXERS and FLYERS fans. And many of the Players resided in Jersey. I know many people in North Jersey and they are practically New Yorkers.

This was a great analysis. Much truer to history and contemporary culture than the idea of splitting the state into three bands. Great job!

There is no central jersey Just north and south

Hows that blue state treating you? Keep up the good work. See things cleary from two sides. Rather, all sides. Not your poceived bias. The rhetoric and pandering. Well after all its controlling of the herd mentalities.

What's known as the garden state Has been terrorized by our politicians over the years helped to polute our area ! So please go move to philly!😮

I lived in Hunterdon County for the first 34 years of my life. The rabbit ears antennas hooked up to rear-projection TVs in the northern part of the county used to easily receive TV stations from Philadelphia, TVs in the southern part of the county received NYS stations.

NJ should not exist. (That's a clickbait comment lol) All states's borders should be erased and redrawn by watersheds. Your analysis supports this by highlighting the demographic and topographical differences between the Hudson River watershed (NYC) and the Delaware River watershed (Philly).

Thank you! With so many of women's rights being in jeopardy, I was thinking about the suffragettes and particularly Alice Paul all day today! 💙💙

Camden the "Economic Hub" of South Jersey? You had better check your data? Camden has not been an economic force (other than a negative one) for a long long titme.

Unbelievably accurate analysis. I particularly love the distinction of the northern shore and the southern shore because they are truly so different from one another.

Very well thought out! I love how LBI is cut in half... it really is 50/50. I am from Livingston but our beach house was on LBI. Every summer when school got out we'd see the same kids from both places year after year.

Very good. I have always been saying something similar about a jersey shore region

LBI part of North Jersey? Absurd.

I'm a North Carolina native and I support this message 💯👍🏾

Makes a whole lot of sense to me, I’m a lifelong Mercer county resident, and I’ve had a hard time really using identifying with Monmouth county and other central Jersey areas since I never really go around there much. The capital region makes a whole lot more sense in terms of where I’d identify with, especially with the addition of Lambertville in the capitol region.

I love my home state with all of my heart and miss it so much.

Well, they DID vote for McClellan for president; and when that didn’t work, they made him governor

you should be governor

Black people don’t like us……if you get the algorithm right you’ll see the things they say and think about us…..they don’t wanna move on they want pay back

Extraordinary presentation! What does the light green region indicate (adjacent to the Gateway)?

I like that saltwater taffy.
