Reply to What parts of South Jersey to move to? by philsphan26
How big of a house are you looking for?
Some towns for you to look into would be Bordentown, Cherry Hill, Burlington, Pennsauken (although not the part of Pennsauken on the Camden border)
Depending on how big of a house you need, your budget is a little bit on the low side, but not completely crazy (north and central jersey prices get much crazier).
Also, the Barrington/Bellmawr area is also nice, but there are a lot more conservatives there compared to most of the state, which is worth noting if that's important to you.
AVOID CAMDEN AT ALL COSTS. There may be some slightly nicer parts to *visit*, but none of it is nice to live in. Please don't get tempted by the really low house prices there, it's not worth it.
Vineland, Bridgeton, and Lindenwold aren't necessarily dangerous, but they are more low income towns.

Jersey City is hit or miss, some days everyone stops and other days Amy DeGise is everywhere.

That bluish eyeshadow is so 1965 and the expression is a great Cruella DeVille impression. Hide your Dalmatians and your kids too before they become a coat or an Edgar suit.

Whoever said that is either and idiot or a racist. Probably both, actually.

I definitely recommend FB groups for activities you're interested in (my husband and I have made a couple friends through the kayaking and motorcycle groups we're in).
And, uh, if it's not overly dorky, I've legit made friends while traveling by playing Pokemon Go. It was a bit different before the pandemic, because everything social needed to happen relatively close to the gyms to battle and now Pokemon Go lets you do stuff from a distance. But if people are starting to congregate around the gyms again, it's a fun way to make a wide group of friends.

I messaged OP directly about this as my friend and I just signed up to meet new people, somewhat similar situation. FYI it’s run by VOLO sports now! We’re going to play pickleball…. Neither of us have really played so it should be interesting :)

Yes! I have had way too many close calls in jersey city while walking my dogs- drivers don’t even look both ways while turning on red

Petition doesn't have any real value so it doesn't matter anyway. You did hit the nail on the head though. The mom's story was awful, and as a parent I hate to hear it and think only of my own kids, but like you said it is only one side of the story, and a side with what may be considered a vested interest.
Someone comes to your work and says things you consider to be untrue publicly. What would you do?

Reply to Plastic bag ban helped cut Shore trash: New report notes drop in bags, straws, paper pieces found in annual cleanup by rollotomasi07071
Well, there better be some sort of positive effect, because this law is a pain in my ass.
Do you know how hard it is to carry three 1.5 liter bottles of wine to the car?
Shit, ya buy 3.5g of weed and they put it on a bag.

If you’re looking for beautiful, remote landscape that’s the area. Zero nightlife, incredibly conservative area. The scenery doesn’t make up for it for me.

Lol the debt ceiling covers the service on our EXISTING debt. Not new debt. You want the IS to default on owed money? Lol take a seat
