That is interesting. I have lived in Deal/West Long Branch (near Asbury Park), Lacey and my girlfriend went to Stockton (Exit 44, I would visit her every weekend). I also go to Wildwood every September. I can't think of a time when I didn't sit in traffic on the GSP at some point. Except maybe for the dead of winter. But that is an interesting perspective.

Will prices drop, maybe but for now the market will be much of the same. There was some fact that >80% of homeowners have a rate under 4%. Many of those people are now “stuck” in their homes because it would cost so much more to leave.

My advice, find a town you like and try to get into the local facebook boards. Post what you’re looking for home wise and see if someone is willingly to make an off market sale. Saves them a ton of cash too

I lived in a smaller town a while back and would always walk to stores and parks, and cars never stopped at crosswalks, cops included. I would flip the cars off, and they would flip it back. I would stop at crosswalks when I drove, and cars would honk and drive past me. Also, don't be afraid to curse at cops. They can't do shit about it.

It's not just New Jersey; it's the entire U.S.

Sorry, but it's basically a nation of "Oh, look at that cute little kitten!" sweethearts that turn on a dime and become the absolute worse "fuck that guy" jerks.

And I can't count the times I've almost been mowed over by bicyclers who were riding on the cross street and abruptly decided "I'm a pedestrian on wheels now" and joined the walkers in the crosswalk while still racing through on their bike.
