"exit zero"
According to many reports people are leaving the garden state in droves. Over taxed and inflated home prices are causing people to pick up and leave. I know several people including a good friend and a close family member who are currently scheming to leave. In addition to some other friends I know who have left in the last few years or aspire to leave once they stop renting and start buying.
New Jersey seems to be a state where almost no one retires in. Mainly because of the ridiculous taxes that have feed the greedy politicians in the most part over the last two decades have made it a lot harder to stay after your working days are over. What puzzles me is the fact that way still seem the need to decimate nature and continue to develop land for new homes, when perfectly nice ones are empty waiting for owners.
We also seem obsessed with leveling trees in order to build a tiny strip of stores before they even have tenants. I can only imagine some rich asshole is some how using these buildings as write offs. Go figure. Drive around awhile and count the empty shopping centers that were built in the last two years, also count the ones that have been in a coma for a decade or two. Whats the point of these?
But It will be really interesting to see the 2010 census stats on how much of the population is hemorrhaging and wear. My guess is Flordia, NC and tax free shopping Delaware.
WIth all that is going on in the state right now, it seems low on the governments list of concerns and simply shouldn't be.
