One very big asset for New Jersey is that you can drive to America without crossing a congested, antiquated bridge or tunnel. People in Long Island and most of New York City are pretty much trapped there with little or no relief in the event of a disaster ... or everyday life. LOL.

Long Island isn't perfect for many reasons, and yes, in the event of a major disaster we are screwed, but it's easy to maneuver around in a car. Three major parallel highways heading east and west and various ones north and south for easy access, although you're out of luck once you live out on the forks. Driving in New Jersey is a headache; it's the only state I've been in where signs on the highways are placed after the exits not before.

Pennsylvania, a beautiful state I admire, has great roads, but no beaches. Something in my blood calls for the ocean:

In the event of an asteroid collison, LI is not a safe place to be, but it's home for me.

As a 16 yr. old driver I was trapped on the Island as one was supposed to be at least 18 to drive in NYC.
