We have all these NJ nitwits moving to Wilmington NC screwing up the city, county and state.

The way it worked was this... The New Yorkers moved west into NJ starting in the 1950s and really ramping up through the 1980s, when many of the the farms of rural Hunterdon county were transformed into raising McMansion.

Taxes went up and up and up and the people voting for these tax increases turned things bluer and bluer and bluer... (though, I will say that Hunterdon County is still red... give it 10 more years).

The outrageous property taxes drove the original familys across the Delaware river into PA, and the Democrats, having ruined the property tax situation in NJ began to follow into PA... most of the Lehigh Valley is House farms now and the same deal is going on that happened 30 years ago in NJ... the retirees from NJ are going south... some probably via PA.

I say if you are down there... invest in shops that sell “Old Man Hats”.... know what I mean? Those old geezers you see driving down the road 20MPH under the limit... they all wear Old Man Hats.
