Does New Jersey Still Suck?

[acemcmac]

Let's share our fondest feelings about the armpit of the union.

I love dogsh!t intersections. I have driven through this one myself. It's a disaster.

Yields IN traffic circles, traffic lights in circles (there are two on the one in my link) and other nonsense like that. Top tax bracket is near (if not past) 9%. PA has a flat tax somewhere closer to 3%

It may be bad but at least they still teach Science in the schools.

Mmmm fvcked up traffic systems. In my opinion, traffic systems are better designed in richer neighborhoods.

Maybe it's also because I live in a city where everyone drives, and so they build fat 3 lane boulevards everywhere. But even with that, I like how our traffic lights are decently smart so that it's not red when there are no cars going the other way.

Berkeley on the other hand... Good god. All the lights turn red one after the other so you hit red after red and all the damn lights are based on timers. I don't get why you would put timers on intersections where sensors would do a better job. I would think sensor technology is a little more high tech, and my old neighborhood has been operating on sensors since whenever I could remember. Yet Berkeley is on stupid@$$ timers? Poorass neighborhoods, poorass counties. I just look down upon them.

i live about 3 mins from that circle. that is the intersection of 73 and 70. if you cant navigate that then you cant drive.

I'm not saying its impossible to navigate. I'm saying anyone who had anything to do with approving that design needs to be sterilized.

try finding what is left of the old airport circle where 130, 30, 70 and 38 all came together. now that was fun!

Judging by the fvcking obnoxious douchebags flying a Rutgers flag sitting next to me at the movie at Bryant Park last night, yes.

[RedCOMET]

In the words of George Carlin " Kiss her where it smells...Take her to New Jersey!"

With that being said, I love the Garden State. Born and raised... Till we moved.

 

[Spineshank]

I like Jersey actually.

 

[ddviper]

Jersey is pretty good now, personally I didnt like it too much years ago, but maybe i didnt see the whole thing. (we were there for 4 days)

-Got patience?

You don't have to pump your own gas.

It's alright. Yeah, taxes are high, lots of people here, the densest state in the country,but meh, rather live here than in any other state (other than NY, CALI, FL, Conn.)

That's one of the things I hate most about the state. I prefer to pump my own gas, rather than someone who couldn't give two shits about my car doing it.

I love having to get out of my car, undo the lock on my gas cap, put my gas cap back on when the attendant is done because it's too hard for them to put a gas cap back on tightly, and pay a price premium for the privledge. Yet another reason NJ blows.

weird as NJ has some of the lowest gas prices in the area.

 

[booger711]

lived there for 12 years. its not too bad in most towns. my town was nice. there's not much to do, but that doesn't matter too much when you're 12.
