I understand that you like enormous state parks and reserves, so the parks in NJ don't cut it for you. But you have to remember, New Jersey is not the size of Wyoming, Washington, or Montana. If we reserved that much space as "untouchable", how much of our tiny state would be habitable? This is impossible, especially because of our proximity to NYC and Philly, two of the largest cities in our country.

Not everyone likes nature or the outdoors and that's perfectly fine. We all have different interests that must be respected (even girl x's preference to buy Pink sweat pants, LOL).
