Right, because living a 1000 miles away accomplished the goal of being closer to family?
No.....because I agree with Izannimda that the New Jersey taxes are outrageous compared to Florida and they are looking for relatively cheap housing which really doesn't exist in New Jersey. Selling and moving to Live in New Jersey near relatives in poverty makes little sense, especially if you become a financial burden to your relatives.
Is the OP really sure about wanting to move from Florida?
In addition to moving away from that state's 747-sized flying roaches, and the very high Florida crime rate, he/she would also lose this charming aspect of the wildlife in The Sunshine State:
Yeah, cause we all know there's no roaches or crime here in Joisey ... uh, and we have a ton of herpes infested monkeys ... they just walk on two legs.

We do have our share of bugs but in case you haven't noticed its a tropical climate !!! Your right about the high crime.....I'm sure he will be much safer living in Camden......perennial winner of Murder Capital of the US !!!
Perhaps....but you can't rule out a few stray bullets from Trenton. Plus....don't forget they will have the state income tax which they don't have in Florida, higher property taxes and not to mention all the extra costs and fees found in New Jersey. In Florida they have over 600 miles of free beaches but they charge you to sit on the hospital waste strewn beaches in New Jersey. I hope these relatives are worth the substantially extra cost ?
Almost all of Hamilton is very safe, I lived in a nice section of Ewing that was safe. But because of very high taxes and auto insurance I would go over the river into PA like a lot of people do. The ride is not that bad.
