I have been to Patterson, Camden, and Newark and if you think they have anything good vs where I live on Florida you are nuts. And we have already had this discussion the only ranking that NJ beats FL educationally is in spending, as far as performance FL wins.

You lose again.

As I said if spending more money is a good thing, as this study believes, FL will be hurt by it. The study mentions in the writeup how much they pay per teacher.

If you’re in your 20’s and wanna dick around in Florida for a few years, that’s perfectly fine, but have a plan and exit strategy.

 

if you’re in your 30’s and just moved your family to Florida, you just made a terrible mistake unless you’re coming from an equally wretched place like Ohio, Missouri, etc.

 

We got really lucky and escaped the South in our 40’s and it’s totally different in NJ now. It’s a real pleasure to live here. Quality of life is amazing.

They’re just now catching up to what California has been going through for years.  So let me ask you @BillStime what makes this different that what’s been happening here for a long time?

It's funny, because a-holes like Dan Patrick, Greg Abbott and (especially) Ted Cruz  have sustained their relevance with conservatives here, with a steady diet of "look what a mess California is, with their rolling blackouts".  Yet they can't handle their own issues. It would be funnier to me, if I didn't live in Texas.

And what's even funnier are a-hole liberals pointing a finger at Texas as if rolling blackouts are something new and unique to Republican lead TX when we've had them in CA for years.  Thanks for pointing out the massive hypocrisy.  👍

Of course they are not new and unique. Cruz and company have been making it seem like rolling blackouts in California are the result of some political failing of the "evil Democrat paradise of California".  You don't see the irony in that?  I wouldn't expect you to...you just like to argue and flex. I get it.

The difference is that Texas is trying to fix their power issues, while California's blackouts are by design.

The rolling blackout are because of political failing here in CA.  It's the years of hand wringing that have accomplished nothing.  We have a major budget surplus and Newsom wants to use that to "bribe" people to not recall him.  You use the word irony.  I use the word hypocrisy.  While Cruz may be ironic most on the left are being hypocrites.  

 

Energy problems are why Gray Davis was recalled nearly 20 years ago.  20 ***** years and we still have our issues.  Who do you blame for that?

I have always enjoyed NJ, worked there for a bit and we have a family house at the shore. I have more than a few friends from there—awesome people.    I think for people and places, it’s like Buffalo—easy to trash, but that sort of thing seems kinda mean to me. 
 

I haven’t been to Newark in a long time, and I am certain there are issues there, but just about every state has places that have fallen on hard times or abandoned.

It has been an issue for some time now...and has been coming more frequently.  The area I live has had 3 power outages since the big one in February. None lasted an entire day, but went as long as 12 hours.

 

In 2011 there was a massive power outage too, where 3.2 million lost power.  The feds did a review that year, and warned that we were headed for more frequent power outages, and needed to upgrade.  The recommendations were not followed, to any degree.  Abbott's whole schtick (as well as Rick Perry before him), is suing the Federal Government... they don't want or need the federal governments suggestions, thank you

My most recent experience In or around Newark was notable,  holidays 2019 just off of 95.  Literally hundreds of feet across a river from the most valuable real estate in the country. Stopped for gas and decided to grab some wine to have a nightcap after I get back to hime In Maryland… 

 

Went into a wine store right off of the main drag, the whole store was behind plexiglass with a bank teller window all customers in a small vestibule.

I had a job where I traveled the country and spent at least a month in more than dozen states working. NJ, outside of the Cherry hill area maybe, is not great and not even Cheryl Hill has anything over my town except Wegmans. My area has had to open 3 new high schools in the past 5 years because so many northerners are coming to live here, along with foreign nationals. Your argument is for a state that is losing people to my state, so keep believing what you want but there is a reason my town has exploded in population while yours doesn't grow.

My county has stayed the same population over the last 10 years. 500k people. That’s 200k too much for me. Why would you want to live somewhere that’s overpopulated and has no industry/jobs?

 

The “leaving NJ in droves” narrative is a decade old. If people are still leaving, it’s the red counties in South Jersey and that’s wonderful if true. I would love to believe that all of “those people” are leaving but I’m a bit skeptical. There’s no shortage of hicks in South Jersey and parts of NW Jersey. There’s still confederate flags and active Klan about 30 minutes west of me. You should tell them that Florida is a “libertarian utopia” and they should come down right away.

 

You cant find houses to buy anywhere in this area. It’s still overpopulated. 
 

People coming down to you are people that couldn’t make it up here. As someone once famously said…..”They aren’t sending their best.”

I can take the train from Madison NJ to Newark and hop on the other train to Hoboken or NYC but I would have absolutely no reason to drive or visit Newark. That’s where you go to buy drugs.

 

if you think that NJ looks mostly like Newark and Camden, then you’ve really never been here.

Lol- most of the people fleeing blue states work and earn. If all that’s left is a bunch of government payrolls like you, it’s going to be a wake up call that all the money is gone, gone gone… one big Trenton Atlantic City with 25% unemployment. Sad

To have the Civil War that the Cult wants, they have to go down there or it won’t really work. That’s why we moved back. I’m not getting caught on the wrong side of history. I’ll chill up here where it’s safe, and they can leave and finally be free. We’ll liberate them like we did in Iraq.

I will say this about NJ. It’s very segregated. I guess that’s just how it was built/designed years ago. That’s why most people that live here aren’t familiar with Newark or Camden.

 

South Jersey is pretty lame. I was born there. Atlantic City is a dump. No one goes there. I’m not really familiar with Trenton. I haven’t been there in 35 years. 
 

None of those areas are anything like where I live. Basically, where I live is where all the New Yorkers go on the weekends to get out of the city. I’m surrounded by nice parks and waterfalls and mountains.
