So, the richest state is also the ugliest state. Very interesting. Maybe all of those rich folks should spend some money fixing up The Garden Dump.

Owing to the dysfunctionality of the black community.

if they were gonna give the states an enema...They'd stick it in New Joisey....

I've driven through New Jersey. Not very impressed. I remember, it was all industrial areas. Newark is the worst.

Actually, New Jersey has some very attractive areas. The problem is that fully half the state is nothing but weeds growing out of a sand bar.

Pennsylvania should donate Philadelphia to New Jersey. It would improve both states.

Actually New Jersey is mostly a scenic state, full of nearly limitless woods and hundreds of miles of sandy beaches on the coastline. Huge sections of inland New Jersey are as rural as the hollows of the Virginias and Tennessee. However, most people only know New Jersey by driving through their Turnpikes or passing through their urban airports so that is why they picture New Jersey in their mind as dirty, gritty and run-down.

I made the mistake of driving through some of the bad parts of Newark once. It was like playing a real-life game of Quake only I didn't have any weapons at my disposal. So I gunned the engine, locked the car doors and hauled butt out of there.

How would someone from 3000 miles away have any idea what NJ looks like? You've been to Newark airport once?


NJ sucks in a lot of ways, but not it's not ugly. Know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

You've been to the wrong places, it's a state with many beautiful and picturesque areas, we have the Appalachian and Kittatinny Mountain range, the jersey shore, the pinelands and coastal plain; 40% of NJ is rural.
