12 Struggles Everyone In New Jersey Can Relate To
Life in New Jersey is great – there’s so much to do, we’re a relatively safe state and we have an excellent education system. Still, not everything is perfect. Here are a few struggles that most New Jerseyans know all too well.
Or, more accurately, hours. I stay off the road whenever possible between 7-9 a.m. and 5-7 p.m..
You may spend more time getting to the beach than at the beach. If you're a New Jerseyan, you know this photo was probably not taken on a summer weekend.
This is something our readers mention a LOT. Taxes here are definitely on the higher side.
Whether buying a home or business, this is a major reason why people move. I could buy the same house in another state for half the price...but, it wouldn't be in New Jersey.
This can be a pain, but our beautiful beaches are worth it.
No, we don't say "Joisey" and we're probably nothing like the cast of Jersey Shore.
I don't mind a bit of snow - it makes our state seem absolutely magical. However, on a day like today, I could do with a little less cold.
We're constantly being compared to the cities surrounding us (New York/Philadelphia), but we have our own identity. And, no, it's not the New York Giants/Jets.
It's one of the busiest airports in the United States, which can mean long waits. Have you ever tried picking someone up here?
Pizza and bagels just aren't as good out-of-state. We've all probably struggled to find a good pie on vacation, with little success. When you're used to the best, you expect nothing less.
We may not like to admit it, but we've all had it or seen it. I mean, who goes 50 on the Parkway???
Oh, WAIT...that's something we don't need to worry about in the Garden State. Cheers to staying in your car today!
