Well, at least one can see clearly through a half empty glass. But, I am just a realist. Rockies v. Poconos. . .Rockies. Carolina Coast v. Joisey Shore. . .Carolina. Hell, given the choice between living in liberal hells, I MAY even take Mass over Jersey. Better mountains, beaches and scenery and soon they will have the same oppressive tax structure. Although, I believe a recent survey found Joisey to have an even worse climate for business than even Mass.
Oh man, you can have Massachusetts. But you can't live in Carolina and Colorado and Massachusetts AT THE SAME TIME. That's the point. If you want 14K foot mountains, sure, go to Colorado, but the flip side is enjoy your 48 hour drive to the beach. And I hope you don't like water, cuz they pretty much don't have any. And you want to see traffic? Try driving up into the Rockies on I-70 on a Saturday morning. Makes the parkway look like a deserted highway. The point is Jersey has a little of EVERYTHING. If you like mountains, lakes, beaches, cities, restaurants, etc, NJ is a great place. Massachusetts??? yegads, you can have it! worst drivers in the country, I think.
