NJ is like the 2nd richest state in the Union.
We've got some of the prettiest towns in the country.
Education system is excellent.
Everything is extremely accessible.
Even our worst towns like Camden, Paterson, Newark aren't even that dangerous [EDIT: compared to the dangerous parts of other states] it's just a majority black city having a racist reputation for how it was in the 80s and 90s.
Wonderfully diverse, EXCELLENT food.
Wonderful and rich history.
Even though both parts of our state are satellites of major cities, our urbanization is better than 90% of the nation. A lot of our suburbs are very sustainable (places like houston and chicago can't say that).
Our taxes may be high, but that's about it. Traffic isn't worse than any other major cities. It is expensive but wages are higher here too. And our government isn't THAT bad
