North Haledon/Prospect Park and have your kid go to PCTI. That's about it in NNJ.

Yes. 💯. Overly-aggressive and lack situational awareness.

Almost look like the meter reads W-hr, not kW-hr.

Contact the BPU. I wouldn't even contact PSE&G first. It's far easier to contact the BPU than to contact any utility.

You’d be surprised. My neighbors moved over a year ago and still have Ny plates since the car is still registered to their other house in NY they don’t live at anymore

Add FL to the list. Get TF outta my way! And don't jump on your brakes, fully stop on a green light and decide last second that you need to make a turn!

I’ll keep that in mind, the move is more for our out-of-work life. I liked the amount of stuff to do there and the community feel, it would probably add some much needed excitement to both of our lives.

> looking for a decent cheap rental community with a reputable school in any place but NJ.

Massachusetts, maybe?

See above for addendum 😂

So I’ve got a few reasons: -Weather, it’s gorgeous 5-6 months a year nearly intolerable the rest. -Phoenix doesn’t have a localized bad areas, by that I mean you can have crack dens across the street from multimillion dollar properties. It makes finding a place very hit or miss. -we have reverse Seattle, I can plan my birthday 4 years from now and know definitively I can plan something. Sun is nice but we have no signs of any seasons it’s either summer and hot or cold and sunny.
-Schools are bad because of school choice, mouth breathers think that’s a good thing but it leads to anyone starting a half cocked underfunded charter school sucking government funding and leaving kids stupid. -Schools don’t have the funding to be safe, I was in 4 lockdowns when I worked at a rural school district because of lack of security because a bond didn’t pass. -it’s a soulless strip mall paradise with no identity other than cheaper California. -Old people have their own city states that don’t have to pay local taxes where nobody under 55 can live. (See sun city) -I’m 24 and don’t get drunk at bars because I have no way of getting back that doesn’t cost a small fortune. -corporations have bent over the younger generation here by buying up single family housing and causing a huge influx in property values. -said corporations charging a fucking stomach churning amount to live in those houses. -No co-operative apartments you own a house or you rent or if you can’t do either you get a tent and live at our states capital.

Those are a few reasons, I just feel like the west coast is a failure in policies. When I went to NYC and North Jersey I saw a few untoward things, but never homeless shanty towns lining several urban sprawled blocks like in LA SF SEA PDX and PHX.

Heat OP said. Gonna leave a dry heat for our horrid humid heat.

As someone from north jersey who had no car and now has one, not having a car is not it. Its a miserable way to live in nj and people cant always only go to manhattan. Not having a car in ny only works because its a big city.

Lol Morristown is pretty chill too if that's the vibe you're after. I saw you're in IT, there's a huge IT bubble in the Morristown/Parsippany area of NJ. A lot of banks have offices there. Another good area is Princeton, with a great downtown and IT roles supporting big pharma.

Thank you I was curious about JSQ I’ll take a look at Harrison. Any thoughts on Communipaw or Bayonne? I know the rail runs through there also.

I was thinking get my 20’s out of the way and settle somewhere with a backyard when I have kids. Thank you for the schooling angle, it will definitely be something to look at.

That more or less matches our description, I like the New York Neighborhood on prozac vibe.

Thank you

Guys… you can avoid auto pay on EZPass by using the one time payment option. Please stop allowing EZPass to automatically deduct from your card.

Tired of everyone not knowing how to drive

this is why we changed our ny registration to nj as soon as we moved. easier to blend in 😈

Correction, many of these people got their license in their 20's and 30's......They still don't know how to drive.

There is a mineral show that comes by every year, it has some gnarly shit.

I thought it was Pennsylvania

This is a common thing in every state. And in human nature in general! We like to blame the other. In Florida we call all of you guys snowbirds and say you suck at driving :)

That’s true, we got our own non-transplant morons.
