I am surprised by all the negative responses on jersey, have most ever been, last time I checked I believe it is the wealthiest and highest educated in the country. Plus has some great areas, Norman Rockwell like towns scattered all over, mountains, shore, quat villages and cities.

But maybe who cares it is already the most densely populated so maybe no newcomers are really needed anyway.

Well i dont live there but have spent most of summer down the shore

Exactly, I'm sorry but anyone who thinks New Jersey = Perth Amboy is a fool.

Arizona - It would probably be the Phoenix area, but Tucson is tempting - I'd flip a coin or decide based on a factor like where I'd work

California - L.A., maybe Palm Springs/Coachella Valley or San Diego

Florida - South Florida, anywhere from Palm Beaches to Fort Lauderdale, tied with Tampa Bay area

Hawaii - I have no idea

New Jersey - Monmouth County, a bit inland from the shore (or Bergen County, where I am now)

Oregon - Portland area

Texas - Austin, maybe El Paso area

I'm not surprised, people have a bad view of NJ, but that's OK. As you said, the state doesn't try to attract newcomers, with the exception of a little bit of tourism they want to attract from neighboring states like PA, NY, Del.

I think NJ, other than the shore, is a better place to live than to visit. Other than the shore, most of the state is geared towards residents and not visitors. Hotels tend to be in corporate areas and hotels are not cheap in NJ, so it's not a big tourist destination other than the shore/Atlantic City.

I can always tell the people who either have never been to NJ or only were in the area between Newark Airport and NYC because of their negative reaction.
