Other than the taxes, the corruption, and the gun laws, NJ is a pretty good place to live. Hills and beaches, low crime in most towns, good school systems, and ZONING LAWS THAT KEEP THE TRASH FROM MOVING IN, something lacking in Texas and most of the south.
Plus, if you’re in Hoboken, you can drop by Carlo’s. It looks good on Cake Boss, at any rate!
You've complained about the lack of zoning laws in Texas before before, and I've responded to you before. I've lived in both New Jersey and Houston, the city you usually pick on about the lack of zoning laws. I've never understood why you harp on what is in fact a big advantage for living in Houston.
Somehow a lot of folks are leaving NJ and a lot of folks from all over are coming to TX. Check out the migration to and from Austin (Travis County) with that in various NJ counties: Link to migration map. Wait until the map completely loads, then click on the county of your choice. (You may have seen the map before. Someone posted it in another thread some time ago.)
