Sorry to disagree but my daughter lives in West Orange in a 3 bedroom house
and her taxes are not $12,000 a year.....and she only owns it 3 years...West
Orange is a nice little town...it's close to Livingston which is very nice and
is very convenient to commute, close to route 280, the Parkway, etc. lots
of nice shopping nearby on Route 10, the short hills mall, the Livingston Mall,
Route 22...Again..I believe wholehartedly on what a person wrote to the news
paper here in Florida....get rid of the politicians when they don't do their job,
stop voting on party lines...If they stink, they stink no matter what party they represent, get rid of them...what have you go to lose....I lived in N.J.
for most of my life and I am sick, sick sick of politics in N.J....they just keep
voting in the same old., same old people...well they do it here in FLORIDUH
TOO....I have always voted my conscience no matter what party I am affiliated with..too bad more people don't do that...it sure could make a
difference......sorry I got off on another subject here....

Dude, I would post the pictures of town but not of myself (if that is you) there are some people in this forum that hate jersey and might draw and quarter you on site! Kind of a guilty by association thing. I agree with you though. You should stick up for where you want to live, it's you choice.

I don't think there are that many people who hate the State of NJ; I get the feeling many people love living here. However, there are many people here who hate the inflated house prices, inflated property taxes and the inflated health and car insurance premiums.
it would be much easier to list the really good towns in Joisey. There are just too many crappy ones to list.
What an idiotic statement. Are you telling people that there are more bad towns than good in New Jersey. There are 566 townships in this state. Can you name 284 that are bad. Please!

He's just trolling. This joker (mrkool) doesn't live in NJ, check out his post history.
To quote a cheesy song, "I've been to many places seen pictures of the rest, but of all the places I can think of I like Jersey Best."
Although many of the cities in New Jersey are filled with crime, most of the state does not live in those cities. I should also note that many of the cities are up and coming; the Newport/Pavonia section of Jersey City is beautiful and was built basically in the last 10 years.
Anyway though, there are a lot of misconceptions about New Jersey. It is not all industrial and disgusting like Exit 14 on the turnpike (although that section does help the economy a great deal). I went to college in Atlanta and couldn't even believe how people from places as underwhelming as Columbia, SC would make fun of New Jersey.
Most of the state is beautiful and has a lot of character. I went to school in Atlanta and believe me you might think of "Gone with the Wind" but 95% of everything in Atlanta is characterless. It is sprawl and strip malls.There's no reason to even go from one suburb to another they are all just the same sprawl. Because New Jersey was settled so early on, many of New Jersey's towns and cities have history, character and historical downtowns. I don't know anywhere that has so much of this other than maybe parts of New England. For such a small state, New Jersey is tremendously varied. Yes there are condos, strip malls, and office buildings, but much more than most places there is a sense of place. There are mountain towns in Sussex such as Vernon, varied Jersey Shore towns such as Spring Lake, Cape May, Stone Harbor, Ocean Grove and Barnegat Lighthouse, quite rugged towns near the pinelands, beautiful horse country areas such as Bernardsville, Bedminster and Far Hills (yes New Jersey has more horses than even Kentucky).
Even most of the Philadelphia and New York suburbs have character. How many suburbs in the nation are as unique architectually as Westfield or or Mountain Lakes or Haddonfield, Princeton or Ridgewood or Summit? I have been from here my entire life and I enjoy just driving up and down the 3 digit county roads and I am amazed at what I always find off the beaten track. Such tremendous varied places and interesting mom and pop businesses. I've driven around other states such as Georgia, Florida, Indiana there is nothing to see off the beaten track in most of those states in comparison.
In New Jersey you are near so much: skiing, the shore, 2 world class cities and most of the state is nice, varied and has a sense of character, I don't see what is so horrible about it other than the high cost of living. Even this though is misleading since salaries are the highest in the nation. If you are a non-believer of how beautiful and varied NJ can be look at these pictures:
