New Jersey Pro’s - like NY, the entire state is not like NYC, Newark or Camden.

How are the property taxes there compared to average income?

Is it a place one can retire in?

I had to laugh at that one. If the author couldn't even find one "Pro" about New Jersey, then he's a moron.

I can't stand this place, but it does have a lot to offer. The combination of high living standards and the accompanying "hassles" of living here is not all that bad, and is far superior to other similar metropolitan regions in the Northeast. I would rather live in a New Jersey suburb of NYC or Philadelphia than a comparable suburban area in Boston, Washington D.C., the New York suburbs of NYC, the Pennsylvania suburbs of Philadelphia, etc.

Why is Cold weather in Wisconsin a negetive. Some of us like it cold abnd nuke plants lower energy costs.

The cold, snowy north Idaho winters ar a plus - keeps the riffraff out.

Californians vist in the summer and early fall, think it’s paradise (which it is) and get blind-sided by the winter. The “For Sale” signs pop up like mushrooms in the Spring.

Trust me South Dakota is not FLAT. The prairie parts of the state are rolling hills and out west you get buttes, badlands and yes, even mountains. However, North Dakota, especially the eastern part is so flat a topo map would have only two lines. Once you cross the North Dakota border on I-29 it is as flat as a billiard table.

I also take umbrage to nuclear plants being a liability. They are reliable, produce zero greenhouse gases and are not a blight on thousands of acres of landscape like forests of 400' windmills.

Yes, the winters up here are cold but we natives know that such temperature extremes keep out the riff-raff.
