NJ is the worst state for young people to buy homes; our place at the top of the list nationally for property taxes (again) confirms this. Young Americans would rather buy homes in states with more jobs, less taxes, and more Americans.
To compensate for this exodus of Americans, NJ has functioned as a “sanctuary state” for decades now.
Exactly. And NJ keeps importing illegals/immigrants/section 8ers. I keep trying to convince my daughter who is getting married soon not to buy here but she and her fiance want to live here. She’s hardheaded like her mom, I guess. My Dad tried to discourage us from buying here but we did because I wanted to be close to family but not in South Philly. He kept telling us to buy in PA but we bought over the bridge in NJ.
