I wouldn't say "envious." Where I live, most people hope to move out out of the city, some of them move to NJ just to commute back to the city (they moved from) to work. I heard the taxes are the highest in the country (or maybe second to CA) every fifty feet is a township, and each township needs revenue for police, post office, trash etc etc , so they hefty tax to support that. You would think with the AC casinos pulling in all that money the state would taxes to be tax free like Delaware.

You don't have to watch Jersey Shore, you can shut it off.
