You know I actually like New Jersey. I don’t hate the state or disagree with the politicians. I don’t mind paying my SALT taxes (of which we pay a shit load). I have no desire to move south. But there a lot of seriously entrenched corruption in this state that should be cleaned up.

OP kinda sounds like…. ‘If she moves away, and she is successful she may never come back, and if she isn’t successful, when she comes back she will have so much personal growth through the experience that she won’t be interested in me anymore. So how do I derail her plans and keep her world small?’

Or as the old song asks: “How you gonna keep ‘em down on the farm after they’ve seen Jerseeeey?”

Verona is in kind of a weird spot. There's the 195 bus that goes up Pompton Ave in Cedar Grove, there's a bunch of train stations in Montclair (and depending on where you are in Verona, the MSU park & ride may be a good option), but most of northwest Essex County (Verona, the Caldwells, Essex Fells, Fairfield), is kind of a transit desert without DeCamp.

It sounds like an adventure. It may work out or it might not but at 25 years old with no kids, no spouse, few responsibilities and a some friends who are game, NOW is the time to do it!!

Yeah, I specifically said "I know this isn't for everyone," and I made commentary about why I think these factors are precisely why we're seeing development in the areas we are, and changes to the demographic to support the type of commuting that I do and away from other types of commuting. The geographical location of Kearny suits one much more heavily over the other.

  1. They should move to NYC. They can afford a good place between the 3/4 of them.

  2. "with her and her friends is that they HATE being told no " - you sound toxic

> NJSA 27:25-2d

Wait, THIS is what theyre citing???

> d. In the provision of public transportation services, it is desirable to encourage to the maximum extent feasible the participation of private enterprise and to avoid destructive competition.

They go as far as to stop people from getting off the 107 bus at EWR because it competes with Coach because of THAT?
