Exactly. It's not an issue. I still have my, "I survived TMI" T-shirt. It's way over to the left in my closet against the wall. I could probably get $5 for that on eBay.

Interestingly enough, my area is the supposed location for people to go if there's an "event" at the Limerick generating station! It's about 45 minutes away.

She lived here for six years in misery and complained loudly on this forum to anyone who would listen not to move.

But keep in mind that prices recovered quicker in NJ so for them to even go back and buy the previous home they owned in NJ became difficult to impossible if you included the dropping price of the home in PA and the normal costs of selling a home.

I checked that there were 28K people living within 3 miles of her home in Hanover Township near the airport, as opposed to 53K people living within 3 miles of Raritan Valley train station. But she bought a home in PA that was newly carved out of a corn field, whereas her husband worked 10-20 miles from their home in NJ.

I guess she liked being near the upscale Bridgewater Commons mall. I didn't get the impression she actually took the train into Manhattan very often.
