My piece is a little paradise. Education is top notch, roads are taken care of. Even our average RWNJs aren't as RWNJ-y as they are most other places, probably because of point A. Were you hanging out in the left lane or something?

shhhhhh - dont give it up :)

Part of whats nice about it is that there isnt a ton of people and the NJ stereotypes work out in our favor.

The author is walking around in Jersey city. Assuming he lives there, it’s a pretty nice place. I lived there for many years.

How long ago? It has become more dysfunctional in recent years. For example, read about the many cases of people calling 911 during emergencies and no one picks up the call. And their property taxes are positively skyrocketing due to the schools.

I like Jersey City, don't get me wrong. But I'd choose NYC over it any day.

What is an “angry state” - the people? The politics? …?
