Look at a topographical map and you will see that is only against the coast.
It's pretty damn obvious that most of you don't know much about Jersey. The only areas that are overpopulated is the eastern seaboard. I use to live in a small town called Whitehouse, NJ population 600, western area of Jersey. How many of you can say you come from a smaller town? My family ran a cheese factory, cows everywhere. Fishing everywhere. Use to ride my dirt bike for miles and not see anyone or any homes. Most of what you do see are farms.
Went back a year ago this week to visit my mother. 25 miles out of NYor Newark, right around Somerville and to the west it's wide open country with small towns spotting the country side. And it's basically the same after 30 years.
Its not that I'm an advocate of Jersey but I hate it when everyone thinks all of NJ is just another Newark or NYC. It's actually a pretty nice place. The weather sucks but then again 70% of the US has crap weather.
