very good points.

Could even do a sub-forum titled "Gold Coast" [under North Jersey] specifically for cities such as Edgewater/Weehawken/Hobo/JC on the Hudson. That would take some traffic and clutter off the No. NJ page itself.

so what exactly is the gripe here? i don't hear anything that's so troublesome to where it requires 2 forums. if anything, the *problem* is too many non-NJ related posts (which can be fixed quite easily )

This is the correct answer. If you want me to, I'll create a push-pin map of our regular posters, by location, to prove it. You'll see most home locations of people who post here are north of the Driscoll Bridge.

disagree...we have only one governor...traffic ain't high here

I think that's a pretty good idea. The two different halves are very different (almost like two completely different states), and as the thread-starter stated, most of us don't know much about the other half of the state. I grew up here in North Jersey and no virtually nothing about South Jersey. I don't even consider it part of New Jersey.

More ppl live in NJ than in MD, yet MD has two forums.

And I think more people live in the 7 Southern NJ counties than Baltimore City, Baltimroe County and Harford County which is Baltimore real's regional influence, and not DC-MD or outskirt-MD.

LMAO, but I do it anyway. South Jersey is part of the greater Philly region.

North Jersey-anything above the Raritan (Driscoll) Bridge
Central Jersey-Anything below it to Beachwood
South Jersey- Lacey and below.

I grew up in Toms River and now live in North Jersey and absolutely hate how people up here call Toms River South Jersey. It is Central Jersey dammit!!

I don't see anything wrong with the current order with one forum? There is no official north or south, I'll feel bad for people who live somewhere inbetween. I literally live in both Burlington and Newark every week. Let's have a forum for "culture/corruption/controversy" and a forum for "strictly real estate/relocation"
