[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in northern NJ in a great, diverse town close to the George Washington Bridge. Dad commuted to midtown and I had a few summer jobs in the city. Note that I moved here and will raise children here. Very hard to imagine the NJ to NYC commuting with children unless one parent stays at home or you have full-time childcare. What happens if a kid gets sick at school? Who attends soccer matches and football games and performances? As to taxes, a PP noted there is no sales tax on food or clothing, but RE taxes are high because every little town has it's own infrastructure for services that here are government by the county. So you pay for the police, fire fighter, schools, etc. That cost alone is enough to make me not want to move back to the state. Cannot comment on south Jersey but have traveled to a few pretty towns. Good luck![/quote]
