Why don't our politicians do something to draw young professionals from other cities across the US?
Your professionals move to North Jersey because of proximity to NYC.
The rest of the state lacks a "magnet" to attract them. Why would a young professional move to Trenton or Cape May when there are few professional employers and lacking social scenes. There is not yet a housing crisis in Philly to convince young people to flock to cheaper housing in NJ.
Outside of the NYC metro belt the rest of NJ is bedroom communities and beach towns. That's not a recipe for attracting young workers and political leadership can't do much about it.

I live in that area. People should have the right to live where they want. Free market at work.

Years ago, I drove to Lakewood to visit the arboretum at Georgian Court University. I was absolutely shocked by the condition, look of the place. Apparently, leaving your trash can on the sidewalk and filling your yard (after having killed the grass) with Playskool plastic junk was all the rage.
Cheaper does not mean a better or equally job. Quality is the key as this will last longer and cost less in the long run. The most important thing to do is find reviews on the people who are going to work on your house. I am a carpenter of 40 years and doing roofing is long past for me. I did not use the cheapest or the most expensive. I went with the Best reviews and some one local. I used Biondo roofing. Wow what a great job they did and it was worth every cent, very professional and answered every question without delay or have to wait until the boss showed up as he was the only one who could speak English . This is not a knock on minorities as they are hard working people but are usually not trained and schooled as the local guys are .
I disagree that I need all native born locals to get a job well done.
One, maybe two locals, depending on the size of the job, the rest of questionable immigrant status ("don't ask, don't tell" is my motto) and we're good to go with money left in our pockets.
I don't care if the worker bees speak English or not as long as the person I'm doing business with does.
Like it or not, that's where the tide is heading and I'm not going to fight it. No point in that.
I'd love to see our hardworking politicians in Trenton do something really radical and make NJ a sanctuary state for businesses to want to relocate from elsewhere.
That would bring in the already employed; young people to gentrify our urban areas, families for the suburbs, possibly older workers who would retire and stay.
It seems whenever a business magazine conducts a survey regarding business friendly states NJ never fares well.
A growth in employment of middle class and above salaries would be good for this state.
More salaries means more taxpayers for Trenton.
Why can't those bozos figure it out?
