...and I still fail to see the point overall other then racist idiots live in both South Jersrey and North Jersey and they represent the attitudes of the majority in neither area.
Point me to where i said anything of the sort (south jersey is a hot bed of racism). I'm waiting.
I asked a simple question. How is that defensive. I live in the area he was talking about so I just was curious. But it turns out it wasn't my area. We have no racists here!
Willingboro didn't have a great reputation when it was white & called Levittown. You obviously want to have a problem, so have one.
Here's the thing. You aren't the 1st person to come down from North Jersey to snag cheap real estate but decided that South Jersey wasn't all that. My mother always said "If you look for trouble, you'll surely find it."
I will have to go back and read the thread,because I didn't read that it didn't have a great reputation in the 60's.
I read it went downhill in the 80's,but will read furthur.
I think the main problem here is that folks in north Jersey and folks in south Jersey have different ideas of what makes town great. For example,I see nothing special about Moorestown and Collingswood.

I have said NOTHING about S.Jersey being racist.
When I lived there, people were pretty racist. Just saying.

Real estate is cheaper down there. That's pretty special.

I don't give a rat's patoot what any thread says. I was living in South Jersey in the 60s. Cherry Hill & Levittown were both building up & most of the builders in Cherry Hill were building better quality houses than Mr. Levitt. That is the root of the problem that people have had for all of these years. Who moved where is beside the point. The schools in Willingboro & Cherry Hill were about equal in the 60s. The schools in Willingboro took a nose dive while it was still mostly white.
I think that you came on here to stir up trouble with your racism charges.
If you're doing three standard 12-hour shifts per week and getting paid each week of the year, that's ~$65k verus ~$50k, pre-tax. That's a little under a 25% pay-grade reduction, which would be a wash if you're comparing areas of similar affluence. For example, $50k in Voorhees = $65k in Manalapan.
Manalapan? That's not North Jersey.
