I don't think many people would agree with you, NJ has a long well established tradition of home rule and people seem to like it no matter how much it costs them

*cough* us small towns are generally quite a bit more fiscally responsible per capita *cough*
But it keeps things from all being the same old boring thing If everything was the same (or close enough to being so), well, where's the variety and fun in that?

Of course towns should consolidate. But there are those who benefit from waste who will do everything in power to maintain the status quo. The rest of us are too busy living our lives to get involved, yes it's true.

Everything is already the same. The strip malls all have the same stores. And Lord knows all our open space has been paved over for mini malls.
Maybe you have to live in a small town to appreciate it. I love living in one, even though it is more expensive than living in larger nearby towns. Everyone is friendly and pretty much knows each other, the people who work for the town actually want to help you and are courteous and you get the charm of your mom and pop shops.
I don't benefit financially from living in a small town but the rewards are well worth the sacrifices.
Don't knock it till you try living in a small town.
Want to know why my tax bill is currently high? 700+ acres of open space, 6 miles of trail, etc, etc bought to prevent strip malls and overdevelopment, which would have caused undue strain on the utilities, emergency services, and school system.
I'm ok with that reasoning, would have costed us far more in the long run.
HOLYCRAP! i was thinkin that 2day, i was noticing, Welcome 2 lodi, welcome to hasbrouk heights, welcome to hackensack every 3 minutes! i was like SHUT UP! put hackensack, maywood, rochelle park, H. Heigts, South Hack., and lodi together... would make everything easy.
and i think the smaller the town the more pricy it is... i relized (not a fact)
i think new jersey would do better that way, it would get a better reputation, like if jersey city and bayonne connected, it would be 300,000 pop
