You are wrong. Yes, the north eastern part is pretty dire, but there are large parts of New Jersey that are quite beautiful. I spent my first 20 years there.

Let's see, where else...
Oh yes, Rumson, Cherry Hill, Princeton...
Not my idea of stink and grime when mention of these places come up. You just have to get out from inside that I-287 Loop.
