[QUOTE="alex3610, post: 12730137, member: 114652"] Lots of good information here. I grew up in central NJ and lived there from 1987-2008 before relocating to central VA. There are probably a lot of comparable areas on LI to NJ. My biggest issue with LI was access on and off the island. You are forever bottle necked through NYC to get anywhere. In central NJ I could hop on the train and be in NYC in under an hour, or drive to philly in 40 minutes. I could also fly out of either PHL or Newark in about the same times drive. The shore was about 45 minutes away and I was about an hour and a half from AC (save your time/money for a vegas). So if nothing else, NJ is more convenient. I left because the politics of the state extremely limited my career options, and the cost of living as everyone else has said was out of control. The house I grew up in that was in Mercer county i think today would pay about $13-14k a year in property taxes for a 2800 sq ft house , 4 bed 2.5 bath 3/4 acre in a town with good schools and a train station. Biggest thing I miss is the food, especially Italian. The pizza down here sucks ass. I want to beat these people to death with their own arms every time they tell me that Papa Johns is good. Anyway, my vote is for Jersey. I think if you stay more towards south jersey you will get more for your money than on Lawn Guyland. Transportation is much simpler and there are two great drag strips (E-town & Atco). Good luck surviving there, it will be a huge culture shock coming from Texas. [/QUOTE]
