Keep in mind - that with all their fame and money Jon and Bruce still live here because they love it - not because they have to. I could add others to that list too but you get the point. I moved back here after many years in California because I never "transplanted" well.
New Jersey has it's bad areas - just as anywhere else does but it also has some absolutely beautiful mountains and beaches that many places don't have.

I loved New Jersey. Just the drive oven Staten Island to the Bayonne Bridge..driving past Bayonne. A little country area before you hit more city..even then it's quieter compared to the immediate reach of NYC. Jersey City, where I worked off Tonnelle had the ugliest industrial areas and some beautiful neighborhoods just blocks away.
I don't get when people slag on Jersey either...I have one friend who already has a bad opinion of it purely because his girlfriend, Staten Island princess, completely slagged it as unworthy of even looking at.
That's like someone focusing on NYC's worst ghettos as the benchmark while ignoring all else to create an image of it.
