Oh, cool!

I know so many New Yorkers who have moved to Pompton Lakes, Toms River, etc., to get away from the city...I’m glad you’re back in NYC.

Those tend to be the old school blue collar types. They are being replaced by yuppies/hipsters in terms of who comprises the "white" population. This is why most white folks in Manhattan and much of Brooklyn (to say nothing of the folks moving into my area) don't have New York accents.

Jersey is a rip-off in terms of property taxes, and I don't see the quality of life as being any better, especially if (like me) you don't need kids in public school. I lived in Lawrenceville (near Princeton) from 2006-2008, and couldn't take the boredom and high property taxes.
