* Freehold doesn't have many McMansions.
Really?

* While I'm sure Paterson has many friendly Blacks and Hispanics, it doesn't have a whole lot of friendly Whites.
If you look at where the dot of Paterson is, it actually does fall within the poor minorities category.

My IL's use the Riverline occasionally, but mostly to take the grandkids on a train ride.
I think the RiverLine is more useful for use to Trenton and points north than it is for Philly access.

Route 130 has a lot of retail, but still not enough upscale retail. And by upscale - I mean mid-range really such as Kohl's, Old Navy, Barnes & Noble and more, have not opened up on that road.

But they did get a Famous Footwear in the Shoppes at Cinnaminson. Famous Footwear left EastGate Square in Mt.Laurel - likely because of too much competition, or high rent.

The map has Burlington Township and areas near I295/Turnpike in the Crumbling Industry category. Ouch. It should be painted in the Happy Families (not just Happy White Families). Some areas in Camden County outside of Camden, are poor areas, but aren't depicted any differently.

Compared to other areas of New Jersey South Jersey is crumbling industry. Get off 130 and drive the river road from Bordentown to Burlington Twp. Eye opening.

It's pretty much accurate but you won't find Jews in South Edison! Where those execs driving their Benzes is where you will find a lot of Jewish communities such as Millburn, Livingston, East Hanover and Verona. They're also in the "Middle Class Raritan Valley Line" areas to! Westfield and Cranford aren't middle-class!

1) The Township probably does, but does the borough have McMansions? I didn't think it did, but I could be wrong.

2) Alright. I see it.

It's a spoof why don't people understand that?
