Jackie, it’s been a year now, how about 10 reasons to live in New Jersey?
@@Velodan1 hey Dan! Great idea!
@@Velodan1 Let's not, and say we did.
Any state is better than California.
Yeah try and buy a house these days. Real estate agents are in a recession.
This video should mostly be called "Reasons to not move to Bergen County, NJ". I live in a very nice town in Mercer County. I get to beautiful beaches in under an hour, Philly, NYC, Newark airport in an hour, Trenton airport in 20 minutes, beautiful parks, lots of hiking areas, local traffic is fine, lots of shopping and restaurants, live music, golf courses, gun ranges, good schools. People are very nice, the air is fine, climate is better here than in Bergen County. The main reasons to NOT live here are taxes and other high-cost issues, and politics.
😂 You nailed that. Moved to Bergen county from western PA about 15 years ago. There are pros and cons. I have family from southern NJ and it is different and better in other parts of NJ. There are many things I don’t like but enough positives that have kept me here 😊
I lived in Monmouth it was nice until a few years ago
Exactly! Everyone sees Newark in their minds when Jersey is mentioned. It's a big place! There are beautiful parts of the state (e.g. Frenchtown, Lambertville, ect.) You're minutes from the greatest city in the world!
Another reason to be in New Jersey... Taylor Ham and Cheese on a bagel and coughfee
Gun ranges ?
Are you kidding ?
interesting take. Grew up in Midwest and have lived in Central NJ (yes, that's a thing) for 35 years. Congested? Meh, time it right and no problem. An hour train ride to NYC? Easy peasy. Sales tax on clothing & groceries? Nope. Pump my own gas in a 40 mph wind when it is below freezing? Not since I moved here. Uber to Newark for a non-stop international flight? Yes, thank you, please. Really, the best thing is the 4 seasons, the juxtaposition of urban sprawl to rural beauty and the relatively temperate climite. Will I stay here the remainder of my senior years? Probably not. But I don't regret one minute.
Grew up in western PA, moved to Bergen county NJ 15 years and totally agree with you on the positives you’ve listed. We have beautiful places for hiking, beaches within 1 hour drive, 45 minute train ride to Penn Station, 40 minutes to Newark International. My boro is peaceful, safe quiet with friendly. My husband and I have good paying jobs and there’s lots of good employment in our respective fields. High availability of goods and services and top notch healthcare. Yes it’s expensive and crowded and Route 17 is a Hunger Games experience but we get a lot as well. We definitely will not be retiring here, especially not being native.
New Jersey is sandwiched between Philadelphia and New York City. It is basically suburban areas of these two cities that are about 85 miles apart. Any negatives you hear are the result of the proximity of these two cities.
Yep . Ny talking crap about us since the line war
Good point New York and New Jersey are the 2 worse places ever too much drugs and violence…..shootings killings etc. EVER. New York is way more dangerous than NJ….NY has high crime and deaths cause of stabbings and terrorist copycats. End of story
Many of these points are for North Jersey. South Jersey is much more pleasant.
Agreed
Best day of my life is when i moved out of New Jersey lol
Left NJ 35 years ago an have zero regrets.
I'm native to New Jersey. I grew up in South Jersey I still live here. We are situated in a place where most of the time, storms pass us by. Last winter, we had a very small amount of snow. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
I moved from NJ to Florida, I loathe NJ but you guys have some of the BEST medical and special education services for pediatrics, and for that after 15 years of being a FL girl, I'm moving back...dragging my feet but my son is deaf has NO access to services here.
How is it? I’m about to move back after living in Florida for about the same amount of time
Good luck to you and your son. Originally from CT born and raised, but have been in FL for years. My partner is in Jersey and can’t move his job and I can, so I’ll be leaving the palm tress and sun for now 😮💨😅
I lived in Morris County and moved to Southwest Florida in 2018. I love NJ, but the cost to live there is way too high. If you can afford it, amazing, but if you can’t afford it then you got to move out.
@@thedude5010 I thought Florida was just as expensive? No
I moved to New Jersey to Florida
I was born in NJ, as were my parents&grandparents I escaped in 06 & never looked back.
Smart
Escaped in 2019, several states are run much better.
I like the word escaped. I have spoken with many people from NJ and they always use the term escaped becuase the people there are so overbearing that they make you wa t to
leave.
Escaped is a good term to describe what goes on in NJ. They try to brainwash each generation so they won't leave. Sad.
You were the smart one. I have been hearing more and more stories like this. There is definitely alot of generational brainwashing going on in NJ.
I moved out of NJ three years ago and what I don't miss is the tolls and motor vehicle.
where did you move to? I can't wait to leave this state
Same
I miss the seasons SO MUCH.
Lived in NJ all my life I am 26 . Anywhere would be better than here it’s the most densely populated state in the nation . It’s the most taxed in the nation and the grumpiest in the nation …what else do you need to know
I hate living in NJ because it's overpriced, overpopulated and full of miserable crappy people. NJ is worthless without NY.
bye
@@jamessonzogni7117 Biden voter
Lifelong NJ resident and several of your reasons really only apply to North Jersey.
The north shore people are the weirdest and rude and extremely stubborn.
You’re wrong! The whole state!
New Jersey is an underrated state. Most of the people who hate on it have never been there or have only looked across the river from New York. The people are fantastic. I don't mind the no non-sense attitude at all. Much better than when you go down south and everything takes 10x longer than it should.
Thanks! My youngest son, who's 27, even refers to southerners as those in possession of "Southern hostility." In other words, we largely do not see them as being genuine.
I grew up there. The place SUCKS. The people SUCK. The govt and services there SUCK. And its the toxic shitpit of the eastern US. Oh and saying you live in NEW YORK and pass judgment on ANYONE on earth is amusing. There isn't anyone more rude and low IQ than a New Yorker on earth. So when you say they are nice......that is like Hitler doing a shout out.
Grew up in NYC and lived in Montgomery Township for 10 years. I escaped. You can have it. You're governor's response to Covid sums up why NJ sux and is unlivable. Please don't move, especially where I live (not gonna tell where).
@@stuartdavis798 Don't worry I wouldn't move there if you told me. I'm certain if you had the courage to say where it was i would prove to you why it SUX far more than Jerz! But just stay there and be happy (I am).
Most ignorant people on the planet. Horrible place to grow up.
I am looking to move out, I have been here most of my life. The best view of New Jersey is from your rear-view mirror.
I live in Sussex County and have lived in NJ my whole life-and have been all over the state...
and she's right-it sucks 🤷🏼♀️😅
Love your honesty, very refreshing !
I had 3 tires blow out on the turnpike within a 2 week period one time. It was absurd. I’d dodge one pot hole only to swerve into another one
Gotta be quick! You pay all that money for tolls and there's Pot Holes?
😮
I'm a Jersey girl, been my whole life, but I've also been to 49 of our 50 states.. and we are definitely NOT the rudest folks, by ANY means. Not is NY,
The mid West now, oof! Never again
YOU PEOPLE ARE THE RUDEST.
Midwest has all of the rudeness but without the charm of sarcasm. They're being rude because they're rude, they're not joking because they have no humor. Diversity exists in numbers but not in coexistence.
JERSEY PEOPLE ARE NOT ONLY RUDE BUT THEY ARE WEIRD.
I was in New Jersey for the first time last week and you were not kidding about the traffic. OMG it was a nightmare even on a Sunday.
I moved here from New York. And let me tell you the worst experience. I had with neighbors calling the building's department on every little thing that I would do to my house. The building's department is very corrupt here in New Jersey. They come to your house given you summons. For every little thing you do on your property, if you don't paint your door a different color if you don't do certain things with your windows and make little repairs, they will give you. Summons, it's like crazy to make money.Here you will be very sorry if you come here.
i've lived in NJ for over 50 years ... we have issues here just like any other state, but the only thing I saw in your video was "10 reason to not move to the most over crowded part of the state" ... we have great beaches here, hiking trails, more jobs then we know what to do with, we have the #1 secondary education in America, and the top university in the world ... we also have access to a plethora of votech schools to learn trades, and the competition among businesses is awesome. Within 10 miles of my house I have over 100 auto mechanics to choose from, plumbers, electricians, trades people, roofers and so on. I could go on and on, but usually people that hate NJ never lived here. Not to mention we have some of the best hospital and medical care professionals in the country, or at least within decent driving distance.
Awesome comment, I travel to Wildwood Crest many times in the summer and never paid to get on a beach there. She should tell the whole story not just what she chooses to pick out. Imagine feeling so privileged you complain about it maybe taking 30 minutes to drive to a mall.
When I go to other states or I hear from friends in other states, I am grateful to live in NJ. A lot of her complaints are true for other states. She should get out more!
I live in the northern side of nj and do daily delivery across the state.
Northern nj ( influence by NYC) is similar to Manhattan. But the whole state of NY is pure rural with a lot dead zone.
South nj is way more beautiful and what nj is really about. There so many farm , horses table, great beaches. Cape may is one of my favorite locations.
We have all this and so much more in south Florida. We also have no state tax, no inheritance tax, no exit tax, .To put it mildly, Florida blows New Jersey out of the water in just about every category. The beaches are free and you can do what you want on them. Year round sunshine and it warm not like NJ's cold harsh winters.
@@andrekellogg8859 yeah but unfortunately for you, only half of what you wrote is true.
Florida education is so far behind NJ it’s laughable. Yes your beaches are free. But definitely not better.
No you dont have more jobs than NJ. Not even close. Maybe more service sector jobs. Minimum wage stuff. But not high paying jobs.
I’ll give you the tax savings and maybe the weather. But I’m. It a hot weather guy so it’s not a draw for me. I’d rather ski any day of the week over laying on beach.
Florida, Texas, and anything out of the northeast is built wrong. Bitching around about traffic near the city is stupid. Take a train. New Jersey is built well, and despite having hellholes like Newark and Camden, there are some beautiful small railroad suburbs and mountains. I can see why you cannot like living here (even without a car, it's very expensive!) but there are great things in this state, and dismissing the state is dumb.
I’m not dismissing it at all. Just pointing out the negative that’s all. Believe me I love living here.
@@JackieBaker Alright, good day
Jackie you are the most honest youtube video person I have ever seen.
I agree 100% with every single point.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching.
The last time I heard someone was moving to NJ was never, I am 50 years old, and I am originally from Long Island, and I now live in MA. I also haven’t heard anyone say they are moving tho NY in decades. Those states are ridiculously expensive, and they don’t offer all too much anymore.
Well I hate to say you're wrong but you are. New Jersey still has a strong sellers market because of the influx of residents from NYC who choose to move here because of the great schools and to get out of NYC. I helped quite a few people buy a home here.
@JackieBaker That's bs. I live here and most people have been crowding out of NY to NJ and vice versa while the market and economy has been crumbling and only becoming more corporate. The only out of staters who come in from places besides NY are merely visiting family or friends. NJ is just NY lite, which is why I don't include NYers as any sort of difference. Your state is only appealing to NYers because NYers had been given the worst luck by god.
I just got back from a four day stay in New Jersey. The hotel taxes were outrageous. Between the tolls and the hotel taxes, I won't be back. It's a shame cause there are a lot of beautiful areas there.
Moved out New Joicy to PA 12yrs ago for everything you said here.
We do not speak like that. New Jersey is a very educated state and that is insulting,
@@armlovesmetal1036yeah, no one speaks like that. How do you even pronounce that?
Totally agree!!!!
North Jersey Problems.
You guys don’t have problems.
Northeast. The northwestern area is civilized.
NJ is no worse than most places in this country today. We do have nice beaches plenty of places to eat and lots of shopping. Yes traffic is nuts and the taxes outrageous in some towns but they're a bunch of places that have reasonable tax rates. if we can just get rid of the idiots running the State into the ground we would better off.
Well said!!
Very transparent. Thank you for sharing this.
My pleasure!
Grew up in Monmouth County., one mile from the beach, several tidal rivers to fish in and lots of fresh water too. Wanted to move back after my time in the Army, sadly couldn’t afford it. As a kid I could fish everyday, the summer at the shore was insane. Not a good place to retire. Weather and pollution were and still are a big concern.
Even with all the things mentioned, IMO property taxes, rent/housing costs are #1 and #2. NJ and California are the biggest exodus states in the country. Even Governor Murphy came right out and said if taxes are your thing then NJ is not your state.
Murphy is a oath violating treasonous piece of sh* t
Meanwhile, everybody’s moving here any town that has a train their building condos everywhere and all these people from New York are moving here for the ruining the state which already sucks
My family and I moved from NJ to Florida in 1982.
It was the best thing that ever happened to us.
How much do you now pay for your Home insurance and Flood insurance?
@Thommadura Nothing. I own my house and the insurance is ridiculously expensive, so I don't have any.
@@FLStelth Florida now sucks , all Maga people are there and Latinos
@@ThommaduraI live 900' from the beach on space coast in Florida. My 2300sqft house, built in 1984, according to Zillow is in the mid 600k. My fema flood insurance is $600 and home owners including wind damage is $1,860/yr
How long will that last? Have you had an insurance company leave the market on you?
The fact is - you appear lucky so far. I know a number of people who are paying Home owners in Florida at over $3,000 a year - and another $1000 for floods.
Well said...
I live in Pennsville, NJ. It is the best place that I have ever lived. I live along the Delaware Bay, and I love it! There are 2 wonderful parks within a couple miles. There was never a place that I was more content. And I have lived at least 20 other places in my 60 years.
Thanks for sharing!
Never liked the law that required a permit to own a CO2 gas pistol. The People's Republic of New Jersey.
I live in Hawaii it's not too bad and there's no cold weather like New Jersey and no high crime and plus where I live cleanest air and water and our beaches are free year-round
I've never been to NJ, but really believe this video ❤
I live in nj and I hate it here.
Grew up in New Jersey , don't know any other states, sad. Everyone I talked to who moved out, young and old came back to Jersey
You’d probably hate your life no matter where you live.
@@raymondlin8728Jersey has four seasons. We rock.
I’m from there. Born and raised. Moved out 10 years ago. I live in Phoenix now. I’ve heard that it’s been getting better compared to when I used to live there.
I'm in NJ. Have a friend who decided to move to AZ for retirement. Terrible traffic, few stores, with empty shelves, rude people, and worse. It was so bad that within 3 months, she moved back to NJ. She's glad she did.
@@cathieludemann5879they weren't rude when I was there, maybe she was just an asshole
Traffic in the Nj to NY connectors are always bad just like any other state connecting suburb to city and yes jersey shore on a sunny day. But you are absolutely right .. road situation is quite despicable along with stupid high taxes.
Who wants to go to NY CITY NOW????
Paying to go on the beach is aggravating but a beach like the one at Cape May is raked free from debris daily offers amenities like restrooms, showers, lifeguards and is very clean. The police patrol frequently so the nonsense is minimal. I don’t mind buying a beach tag if that gets me a clean safe beach.
We LOVE Cape May! So worth the fee!
I love Cape May. It is my favorite shore point. I love the old Victorian houses and there are many places to eat and shop.
We pay to go to the beach in CT too. When I visited my grand parents old neighborhood in NJ, I was shocked to learn that the bay was on the superfund site.
WOW! That's scary!!! That's the first I heard of a superfund site at a beach!
@Jackie Baker Raritan bay Slag in Laurence Harbor. The sea wall. (I was a Hazardous Waste Coordinator here too a couple years back....in CT) Imagine your (good memories) of your childhood summer stays with your grandparents.... A time when neighbors visited each other. We went on long car rides without having cell phones. We climbed trees, played in the swamp, and lived for traveling by bike to get that bazooka gum down by the bay. Poor people were dignified. Worked hard. Smiled and laughed together through many hardships. Appreciated everything happily! The outdoors were our playground. I'm not going to lie, LOL. We chased mosquito spray trucks with the fog in our faces. We played with broken glass pretending they were gems. It was a blue collar neighborhood. And every summer, my heart was a glee once we crossed the tappanzee into NJ, the land of highway fumes and flat land of some sort of NY knock-off. But to me, it was love. I had went a while without visiting. (The people who now reside in my grandparents old bungalow have even come to know that every few years I take a drive to NJ just to walk down that road only to return the trip home. One year however, it came unexpectedly. Signs of off limits due to toxic lead. Anyway! Supposively it's clean now. (Thanks for letting me share, and for the video!)
We moved to New Jersey in the early 80s because few people, open land, quiet, cheaper, everyone wants to be in New York
State full of a bunch of Tony Sopranos. I'm staying in Tennesee with our no state income tax and nestling into Dolly Parton's busom
BRAVO!!!!
As someone who lives in Northern Jersey In Belleville, i gotta say that It sucks up here. Southern jersey like cape may, and wildwood are super nice areas. With the nicest people ive ever met. NORTHERN Jersey near New york Stinks bad. I cant wait to go south for real.
I forgot to mention that while we do get storms, etc. They are NEVER as bad as what happens North, South, and West of us. I bought a snow blower two years ago that has yet to see snow.
I had to brace myself for this video because I’m stuck here 😂😂😂 I’ve lived here in New Jersey my whole life, and I’m professionally licensed here, so 🤷♀️ I’m here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future until retirement when I will likely relocate to a place that has a lower cost of living. I love New Jersey, it’s my home. (I’m actually comforted by rude people 😂, feels unnatural to be around polite people when I travel out of state) But you’re 100% correct about all these downsides. New Jersey is not for the faint of heart.
And you think what you have said is great. OMG , wake up people of NJ . I have lived there and all that you think is cool is nothing. Expand your horizons and move to south Florida and live a little a fun and competitive life. All I see in south Florida are NJ and NY license plates even in the summer. We have better beaches by far and they are Free. No state tax, no inheritance tax , no exit tax, no death tax etc. We have very nice casino's , better food and a multitude of attractions.
I'm sorry but, if N.J. needed a suppository, the doctor would be torn as to whether to stick it in Bergen or Camden County.
I'm 74 and live in NEWARK. A 10 minute walk takes me to Penn Station. From there a train to Pt. Pleasant, no problems with traffic!😂 I stopped driving a year ago. I had enough Saturday mornings on the Parkway sitting in traffic ! Take a train and relax!😂😂😅
I love it!!!
Jackie since you relocated here you must make another video entitled "10 Reasons Why I Moved and Remain in New Jersey!" While I understand you're negativity, many things were not accurate. The roads for instance, are not as bad as they once were, and the people are pretty even keeled, although we do (as you pointed out), have awful traffic and a fast pace of life (you can't deny the excitement though). All in all there's no better people in the country. The pollution is not nearly as bad as you indicated. As a matter of fact, on every single list online, we did not even make the top 10. I know we're somewhere close to the top but not nearly as bad as you indicated. Personally, I wouldn't dare live anywhere else (I bet you wouldn't either - even with your smoke stack thumbnail which misrepresents out great state, rather catering to stereotypes of a misguided populous). And this comes from one who retired from the US government and has been all over the country. What have I surmised? That New Jersey's like every place, but NO PLACE IS LIKE JERSEY. 👊🏿
First of all, I LOVE living here. I chose to live here because of all the great things this state has to offer. But I like to point out the good and the bad things so people can make an informed decision. I’m not negative on NJ believe me. Just providing information.
@@JackieBaker I respectfully disagree. I believe your video was loaded with negative stereotypes meant to satisfy pre-existing, long held sentiments that are simply not true. But getting sales in today's environment rises above all else (including the truth). If it were not so, why don't you make another video on 10 reasons why you remain in NJ?
@@jerzeeguy9093 high taxes and superfund sites are facts and not stereotypes. And that is info people need to know about. Paying to get on beaches-fact. NJ is one of the only states that charges for their beaches. Again, I love living here despite these things. And I just want to educate, that’s all. Sorry you’re offended by this video. But it’s not my intent to offend.
@@JackieBaker Yeah I got all of that Jackie but other things were exaggerated. Nonetheless, since you still live here identify the reasons why and make a video on those items. That's your challenge!
You got that right. I love NJ,
I grew up in San Diego and I love central NJ just as much for different reasons.
Zoo Jersey.
San Diego. Lived there for maybe 4 years back in the 70s, 80s.
Had the best weather year round than anywhere. Outdoor life. Loved it, but it was just too far from home, NJ.
From what is reported, it's not quite the same now.
Why on earth would you leave cali and come to nj?!! The sun the palm trees! .. etc etc
@@AngeloR674Even Cali is better than NJ
Looking to buy a house in NJ look at the property taxes sometimes it will increase your payment by 30% so be wise and investigate the fees over your mortgage payment. Having been looking for a second home and every time the taxes hold me back.
Because - IF you buy a house - the State will confiscate a good chunk of your sale price - as if you need to pay to get out of a State that is 2nd only to New York in DESTROYING COMPANIES AND JOBS!!!
Ask anyone who moved to North Carolina because the company got out of Jersey and you had to follow to AFFORD a house.
And - yes - I drove across the entire country and the roads only broke apart when I took I80 thru NJ!
You can say the same thing about Florida! Have you ever been to South Jersey??? Like a different State. Why I LOVE NJ, well, I Love Living in South Jersey!!!! Philly folks moving to South Jersey are nice, NYC folks are rude! I've worked on Wall Street and New Yorkers are nasty. I can tell who is from NY when I vacation in FL.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I loveeeee it !!!! Miss hahaha you are exactly rigthhhhh !!!! amazing GOD Bless you ....
🤗
Our motto in N.J. Welcome to New Jersey , now go home
😂
Highest taxes in America... Highest EVERYTHING
Which is why my mom and I don't live there no more!
facts
I live in Nj and I can confirm that people here are rude but also there are nice people 😊 also the traffic is a big downside. I live in Secaucus. In Hudson county and I must say traffic is hell here and taxed are hell most of what you are saying is true the school systems here are also a downside especially in Lodi in Bergen County I don’t recommend Lodi that town is a nightmare! But overall I think Nj is fine for family’s looking for small houses definitely not cheap ones lol and the pollution and the overall state drama cost of living
Am a nj resident and I witness that all what you said is true and am looking to move out but waiting for the good moment, I believe through my living experience in nj that this state is for earning money 💵 and hard work only but not a place of a living, work hard in nj make good savings and then leave somewhere where y can get a life…
I have relatives that live there!! It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!! You can't even pump your own gas!!
I like not pumping my own gas! It’s great in bad weather!
Is Montclair, NJ a better place for an international graduate student??
Montclair is a GREAT town. It's pretty expensive as far as rent or purchasing a home there. It became really popular during covid when people from Manhattan started moving there.
You don't know what bad traffic really is until you've been to California or Florida. Just came back from Florida. I'll take Jersey's traffic any day.
Yeah I Too Thought That This Place Who Be Great But Since Now I See It's True Colours I Officially Reject Ever Thinking Of Going There
NJ is a huge state, Jackie is mostly describing the eastern parts of Bergen, Hudson, Essex, and Union counties. Just look at google map of NJ, it's mostly green except for those very congested areas closer to New York City.
I used to live in NJ. After moving to AK, I could never move to NJ. Mainly for the trash gun laws
Pot holes are worse in NJ
what polution maybe in north south jersey air is great
As a tourist, i wasn't overly impressed with it. I met one of the most arrogant, contemptuous and obnoious men,ever. An abusive control freak. It was a relief to board the return flight.
Jackie, you’re the best! You’re the only realtor that starts your video with, Jersey Sucks! LoL. Some people do well in New Jersey! Tony Soprano makes a great living up there in North Jersey! LoL. Jackie, when are you gonna leave Jersey? You’d do pretty good as a realtor in Florida. My mom lived in Jersey all her life. She would never leave.
Locals of the New Jersey beach towns know where to access roads are that aren’t guarded for admission so no Locals do not pay beach admission.
I don’t have to pump gas in Jersey. Traffic is everywhere unless you live in the middles of Iowa. Rude people? Only if you act like a jerk. You can get whatever you want here. Yea it costs more but it’s here. Otherwise yea it sucks.
I am from New Jersey! I love New Jersey but I understand there is a lot of bad people there ☹️ I respect your opinion!
Didn’t mean to make you mad! I think New Jersey is great too. Just pointing out the negatives too. Being honest. Have a great day!
Hey pal no one cares about your opinion😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣.Originally I’m Newark but live in East Orange now,you really think she’s supposed to care about your opinion pal,everything she’s saying is nothing but straight facts if you can’t handle it then most likely your soft.
@@JackieBaker Don’t be sorry for saying what’s on your mind sweetheart.
Stop kidding yourself, You know damn well NJ ain't all that
@@michelleiscool341
Lmao no I don’t know how old or young you are. Its my Jersey Hospitality. I’m not being mean, Jersey’s my home too
My Great x2 Grandparents left Joisy and went to Canada....fortunately.
Jug handles, no left turns, routes, not enough distance with road signage & the fact that jersey isnt a pension friendly state for nyc retirees
I appreciate this video. Keep people out of this overpopulated state. Please
The beach i go to is down the road from seaside heights. Island state beach. It only costs $6 a car. It doesn't matter how many people are piled in ths car, its still $6 bucks. Alot of the times its free. It was free after covid and last summer when i went ot was also free. I enjoy being able to drive 40 mins to enjoy a beach day. I love my expensive state.
Never been to Island State beach! Thanks for sharing!
Traffic is only a problem if you know only one way to go!!! If you only know how to go to the Jersey shore using the GSP you're in trouble!!!
Yes the traffic, snow ploughs and NY attitudes- that’s all North Jersey. I live in SJ, none of that here😊We have one of the best quality tap waters in the whole country.
U guys have the crazy pineys....
@@endrekasko9528 Hello Endre Kasko, I’d have to kindly disagree with your comment bout having so many “crazy pineys” here in South Jersey. That’s just ain’t true. I’ve been living down here near exit 10 for a few decades now and we ain’t got no mer pineys here then they got way up north at exit 17. You sure you ain’t from round here Endre ?? I know a few fellers named Endre between here and exit 17.

The only thing I know about exit
10 is the nudie beaches in Cape May
I'm from exit 159... & That's stacked with city slickers & wanna be gangsters... I don't know which end of the state is worse...
It’s not that bad just stay away from the more populated parts 😊 but if you want more for your money like a home it’s expensive 😢
A few things you forgot to mention: NJ avg income: #2 (behind only D.C.); Poverty rate: #7; Public school systems: #2; Crime rate (property and violent): #4. Separately, Consumer Affairs ranks NJ as the #1 safest state and the #10 greenest state.
wrong but why state facts. NJ is not the safest state Maine NH and Vermont are the safest states
@@jdds1165 It's not my opinion - it's Consumer Affair's opinion. Sorry about that.

@@jdds1165 FROM CONSUMER AFFAIRS, March 23, 2023 (as pointed out by Rob):
The 10 safest states -
1. New Jersey. NJ is the safest state in the U.S., according to our results. ...
@@jerzeeguy9093 True, but as @jdds1165 asks, why state facts?
NJ has to worry more about nor'easters than hurricanes which are rare
@Amanda Dan Hey Amanda good how are you ?
Agreed! Haven’t had a real good snow storm in a couple of years too at that.! I’ll take being cold compared to hurricanes/tornados! I have a Xbox friend who lived in Alabama and would shit talk the NE because it’s cold and too many people and normal southern jealousy for the north as per usual, but the tornadoes that ripped through the south last weekend unfortunately claimed his life and a few others in his trailer park. But it just goes to show that living up here is still and always will be the best option. It’s also been a warm winter too.
All I know is people should’ve taken Al Gore super cereal years ago when I was a kid about global warming, aka ManBearPig
Bloom Where you are!! I grew up in Bergen County and I had the best childhood ever!! I would never Leave NJ. I absolutely love it here!! In fact any friends of ours that have moved to other places where sure to move back within a couple of years because they missed NJ. I brought my children up to be a proud Newjersians, you know "Jersey Proud". It is the most mentioned, filmed state of any state in the Hollywood movies, the Jersey Housewives is the most popular of all of franchise. This women in the video, which I did not even look at, just looks like she has a very bad attitude towards NJ so I wanted to leave this comment to counteract all of hatred towards our wonderful state, we have everything here, dining, the shopping capitol of the US, parks, urban or suburbia bliss, big movie theatres and let's not forget the boardwalks, casinos and the beaches.
Don’t get me wrong…I love living here. I just like to show the good and bad sides of things. No place is perfect!
Proud of what......most people I meet from NJ are self-centered jerks.
Very hard to believe that u had a good childhood in NJ, the place is a garbage state and it has the highest exodus of people in the country. Expand your horizons, South Florida makes NJ look like a waste dump.All I see in Florida is New Jersey license plates even in the summer. The smart ones have already left NJ's tax burden behind but those that stay are in for the taxation of their lives.
Well this is the first video I've seen of your's. Before I even watched I knew what it was going to be. You live in Bergen county,of course it sucks. Every single reason you gave were all North Jersey problems. Yes I deal with all of these ,when I go to North Jersey. I don't pay to go to my beach. South Jerseys doesn't have all these problems. Except maybe property tax, but I don't pay those so I don't know. But I'm glad you are telling people not to live here. I am fine with the South Jersey staying just the way it is.
South Jersey is awesome. We go to Cape May every summer but the beach isn’t free there. Tell me where there are free beaches. I’m tired of paying to use them😂
Didn’t even shovel once this year. Morris county NJ. I did move to FL once came back 9 months later and ain’t looking to leave anytime soon. Is it pricey? Yes but where isn’t it pricey nowadays? Tornado valley? I’m good we get paid more so we pay more, just a way of life.
Born and raised in Newark,NJ i am a nurse and had to drive in treacherous blizzards and storms to get to work now its hurricanes in Florida go figure
Also we are very direct when we talk, and it comes off as rude down south
I hate that we’re mistaken as rude.
@@JackieBakeryou are rude, wdym mistaken? Y'all literally just act mean bc you think it's edgy and cool
@@redline1916😂😂😂😂
I move to nj and I regret it! I was hit by a car as a pedestrian. Walking across the street and nj is a not fault accident state. I can’t even go after the person who hit me with there car for insurance to get better. They saying I need auto insurance to not suffer fighting to get better. Having to use nj Plega. I been fighting for my medical treatment for over 3 years. Lost my job. Because they keep denying my treatment. Needing to see their doctor. Spent 3 and a half years fighting to get better. Now they finally doing something.
You should look both ways when crossing the street, the end.
I don't think you knew how to live in this country, and how to get the things you need. It's not NJ's fault, you were careless and didn't know what to do. I'm sorry for what happened to you, but be careful. I'm sure the vehicle that hit you was visible before it did, right? Why did you not see it? Don't blame the state you're in when you have an accident, just be careful, look both ways, and cross legally, we all know how to cross a street here..
@Joe Edwards
or you could simply stop for pedestrians, which is what you're supposed to do. Literally the law throughout the country. Have some decency and stop for pedestrians not just hit'em.
Please just GTFO! Thank you.
Most of the bad points mainly are true about northeast NJ. It's my belief that NJ's rudeness reputation mainly comes from the northeast NY bedroom area. Northwest Jersey and South Jersey, with the exception of a few towns/cities are generally pretty nice. Just don't have a job where you have to commute to the northeast or live near a superfund site.
Yep, Bergen county resident here and this is true 😊
add those infamous orange right or left lane closed signs
I use to live in new jersey In my opinion a best place to live north new jersey,,
The state government sucks and makes fun illegal and terrible design for roads.
The people and the land are fine
*Jersey shore city halls* NAH U WANT A NATURAL WATER SOUCE COFF UP THE FUNDS 🤣
It’s all true. And I’ve been in NJ all my life.
you aint lying cold hard facts i live this nightmare everyday I need to get out of here ASAP
They charge for beaches in MD too. I didn’t pay for the beach in CA so that makes sense 😂
