If you live in (New) Jersey after you're 30 you are a hopeless idiot
That's my latest, reddest karma.

I think it's worthy of discussion.

The oldest ancestor of mine I can find in New Jersey was an Irish protestant born in Ireland in 1665. He was buried at the Old Stone Church in Fairton, Cumberland County, a national historic site, in 1734. 13 generations of my family are laid there, with three more in a newer cemetery close by. Only some Swedes have been down here ... Delaware Bay area ... longer.

Other branches of my tree have my Dutch and English ancestors born in Massachusetts and New York even earlier, but ultimately, those branches married the New Jersey ancestors in the 18th century.

My mom's side of the family were 19th century famine Irish ladies and Germans (there was no Germany when they came - they came from Prussia and the Holy Roman Empire). They were Catholic. Every single male, according to steerage records, was a glass blower. Whether from Ireland, Bavaria or Alsace ... all glass blowers ... destined for Millville, NJ, through Philadelphia, recruited to make glass ...

from our sand. Sugar Sand.

So, this post is coming from a place of deep-rootedness.

What is the beef with New Jersey, besides the fact it is expensive to live here?

Are the haters NJ expats? That's possible, but if they are, they weren't here for generations. They must be more like transients who couldn't afford to live here comfortably.

The people who live here love it. Statistically, we are not idiots by the regular measures. We have the highest concentration of scientists and engineers, the best school, consistently highest test score on national scales, etc.

I love living in rural Salem Co, and being able to get to Philly, AC, NYC or DC no problem. We have and do all the things. Everyone I see is having a great time.

The variety of people doesn't bother me or most peopel I know ... it must be property taxes. What else could it possible be?

I'm not bragging. I'd never brag. I'm from NJ and don't give a fuck - no need to inflate our importance - we already pay more than our share of the country's bills ...

but really, what is the root of the hate?

What makes you all hate New Jersey? Whether an expat or a visitor or a never been ... what exactly is the problem with this place where you don't live (anymore)?

Is it stereotypes, having never been here or having visited some inner city once? The media?

Is it some chip on your shoulder about not being able afford property taxes, or some beef about employment?

We reminded you not to let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, after all. You can't say we're not polite.
When the shit hits the fan and the end is just nigh, will you cry out to Heaven? Will you lie down and die? Not me, my dear one - THIS IS MY SACRED LIFE - to no one nor no thing I'll surrender. For how does one know where when dead she will go, or if sweet Mother Earth he'll remember? - Sug

Re: If you live in (New) Jersey after you're 30 you are a hopeless idiot
NJ sucks b/c

-Jug handles/no left turns
-The police/troopers and how they hide in bushes in these cheese speed traps
-Only sell beer in liquor stores
-Everything closes early
-Every NJ suburb town looks exactly the same as all the other ones. All cookie cutter over priced dumps full the same exact stores and restaurants
-The disgusting smell of nj air
-The nasty smell of your tap water - - The hybrid mafia tough guy/hillbilly combo you guys having going on. (blasting rap out of your lifted pickup truck with the NRA and Don't tread on me flag stickers)
-Left lanes is for passing only
-you have to let someone pump your gas for you
-NJ drivers speed to red lights but they will sit at a green light for 5-7 seconds before proceeding
- Mostly volunteer fire departments


That's just off the top of my head

They always fuck with us for jughandles.

That's fair. They suck.

It's also a reasonable solution considering the traffic, and the legacy infrastructure and zoning dating back to the early 18th century.

I don't know where you drank the water - mine comes directly from the Cohansey aquifer, the largest freshwater aquifer in the world. It's great. It's sand filtered, and originates from a glacier in Canada.

I'm sure many municipalities have shit tapwater. I lived in Newark. Shit water. The quality of the Newark tapwater definitely doesn't make NJ shit.

Air:

NJ has brilliant zoning which concentrated the industry along the highways.

Half the state is farm and forest, not to mention coastline.

The highways stink.

My air smells like hot sand and pine and I'm 25 miles from a highway.

a few miles down the road, you smell ocean.

I'm curious to know exactly where the air stank. If it is along the highway, then that is by design.

Keep driving, lol.

Where have you visited in the garden state?

I'm curious.

Was there an experience in particular that makes you say that?

Or are you just repeating a joke you heard?

Re: If you live in (New) Jersey after you're 30 you are a hopeless idiot
I grew up in New Jersey.. as soon as I got a chance I moved to FL. New Jersey isn't bad and gets a bad rap.

First few things.
-All people from NJ or NY want to tell you they're from NJ or NY for some unknown reason... in FL
-NJ "Characters" and oddballs are really funny.
-The NJ people that visit other states are usually the weirder ones. This gives many odd impressions of NJ.

Ok. the bad

The guidos and creepy people are usually in the cities or outer suburbs. They are a breed of their own.
Some areas near New York, Smell.
Bar fights were a regular event vs none in FL.
The cities are just scary, Newark being one. Many towns in run down areas are very drab like serbia.
DMV is worst in the nation. Tickets and money extortions are abundant, although cops are cool I must say. Taxes and insurances are extreme, and never stop going up. Liquor stores to get beer, that close early, or bar beer till 11? in another town, very inconvenient. Gas stations closing early in small towns, weird stuff. Everything spread out so much that you have to drive everywhere. In FL, you have everything on every corner, beer, whatever you need. Many Small towns with nothing. Many drab areas, that a person driving through might get a faulty image from. Almost all Views from the highway will give a bad impression. Flying in to NWK airport will make you sick, but your seeing the worst 1% there. So, what you see is not real NJ.

I don't miss it for a second, but Lets talk about the good.

Suburbs are great. People are funny. Most of NJ is beautiful. West NJ and central NJ are Country.
People are weird but so interesting, lots of character.
They all understand each other and are quick witted. Most NJ people are smarter IMO or just raised to go to college or future education. If your visiting, you might feel like an outsider. If your from there, you don't know your living somewhere that is different to others.
The beaches are great. The sounds and smell of the "shore", and the boardwalks are awesome, and if you see the beach towns, they're unique and cool to say the least. If you live there in any nice suburban town and I don't mean by any city, its quiet, spread out, and very green. Great food especially Italian. Easy access to NYC was one of my favorites.

You have to be from NJ to know the good. My family and all the people I knew were really cool, nice, not bad accents, funny and great. I miss some of the people, but don't miss the hassles of the bad. At all. Still, people knock it, but If they wandered inland, they'd find a really nice, interesting state, with a lot of great and interesting people.

See... this is one of my favorite things. It's not just the guys.

Everyone is half something badass, and the other half jersey ... and you are correct in your assessment that the jersey half is very hillbilly. As I said in my OP ... some of us have been here 12-16 generations.

Irish/Italian
Greek/Scottish
Puerto Rican/Swedish
Black/Norwegian
the permutations are endless

Mine is boring: Protestant/Catholic Irish/German ... but we still have a lot of festivals.

They all have festivals. I'm going to be spending the next ... 20 weekends ... at festivals in NJ. Greek. Polish. Puerto Rican, Jamaican. Irish. Indian.

Best food in all 50 states.

Back in the late 90s, there was an interent thing going around about south jersey ...

where skinheads, jamiacans, puerto ricans, italians, indians and mexicans all barbecue together in the trailer park

so yeah .. if there were no half mafia, half hillbillies ... we wouldn't have the best seafood in the world

I like that part.

This is a great assessment. I appreciate your honesty, and your willingness to give credit where it is due.

I have lived in PA, KY, TN and WV for several years each and visited many, many states. Almost all.

I think there is a social selection mechanism in place. Life in NJ requires a certain amount of hustle that most places don't require. You have to know the rules of the road and the speed traps - literally and metaphorically.

I just drove twice today from Vineland to Pennsauken and back. In those 220 minutes on the road, I saw more life being lived than I did in any given month in the other places I lived.

Where I live smells like hot sand and pine.

These people - they've been to Newark airport.

Don't get me wrong - I love newark too! I went to college up there and every neighborhood has its thing.

I like the food, but due to over-fishing and regulations it's difficult to bring home fish to eat from the shore. I could just buy the seafood at my local supermarket, but where's the fun in that?

It really depends on the chief. You get a bad apple, it spoils the bunch.
