Why does NJ feels like 3rd world and 1st world country? (Jersey City: landscaping, taxi driver)

I would never ever consider going on vacation to Mexico.

Not in this thread, but in other forums, I've learned that Somalians stare, and Russians are rude.

About seventy years ago, my Dutch grandfather told my mother never to date an Italian man because they all have sex with their daughters.

ROTFL, no, just their wife's daughters.

That’s just because your grandad was grumpy from the splinters in his feet.

Russians are only rude when you do not do tip them correctly for the table dance.

NJ looks better than most of the state of Alabama or Mississippi, but worst than many areas of Brazil. so this kinds of comparisons are pointless.

It's all about perception. In many 3rd world countries sewage and water supply are still not up to par but we do have some parts of NJ where the water supply is still not up to standard with other counties.

The point is that NJ does have high standards in many towns but it's not consistent across the state. There are towns that look uninhabitable and dangerous yet they could be near one of the wealthiest towns in the state which makes you scratch your head.
