I'm being hysterical? Ha! What kind of bubble do you live in? This state has a $5 billion budget deficit and just raked in less tax revenue than expected because too many people and businesses are ditching this state. We also have rising property taxes every year, an even bigger budget, rising taxes all over the place, and the list goes on and on.

Who the hell cares what houses are selling for here? That's no reasoning for the strength of New Jersey's economy. The only reason property values are so high here is because NJ is between Philadelphia, Washington DC, and New York. Take those three away and this state is dead, because it cannot sustain its own economic growth under the current leadership.

Homes sell for hell of a lot more in California than they do here, yet California isn't exactly a beacon of economic strength. Find a better talking point than "homes are selling for millions" if you want to try to defend a state that is rapidly on its way to becoming a Massachusetts/California hybrid.

Talking point? Get out of your political bubble and join the real world. Ppl in the real world don't have "talking points." For cryin out loud. By the way, the unemployment rate in NJ is 4.7%, same as the nat'l avg. What do you think of that? 4.7. Is that a good number or a bad number?
