I'm moving back to NJ to buy a house simply b/c I cannot afford property in NYC or surrounding burroughs and those available are shit. Also, the sales tax is a killer not to mention city/state tax. Pinkfloyd mentioned how difficult it is to try and go to movies, grocery shopping, or any other activity - it's just a pain it the ass. And yes, the produce and food in general is typically expired or of a lower quality. Most stores/bodegas will try to charge me more and more $ for the same product if I happen to frequent more than once in a week. Fuck this...
Most transplants are so mesmerized by the tall buildings that they cannot get out of the fucking way or off their cell phones and they are the ones paying extra for property and good causing all the prices to go up. I have a fantastic job but I'm moving to Jersey and I'll take the bus for 1 hour into the city, it takes me close to 45min anyway to take the train in from Brooklyn so why the fuck not.
I'll make my money here and go home where there are trees, politeness, less stress, and more honest people.
