Sure, you and half of NYC...

I'd struggle to find anything under $1500 way out in Morris. I don't think you're going to have any luck on that budget a half hour from NYC by train. You'll need a roommate for that price.

I agree. That’s where I am an pay just under $1700. Anything closer to Morristown, etc is much more

Take what you'd spend in a month on rent and just visit, man. Don't move to a state you obviously don't like.

well ive never lived their i personally dont care, heck anywhere is better where im at now. at this point in my life im wondering if the hustle and bustle of the city is really worth it. i thought i could find a place in NJ that has that suburb laid back atmosphere thats next to NYC. make the money in NYC then enjoy it in NJ.

Yeah... you and half of NYC.

If you don't have a job lined up in NYC don't just yolo a move to a very high cost of living state just because it's close to a big city. The NJ-to-NYC commute is not for the faint of heart and shits gonna be expensive around any big city, but NYC metro is one of the worst because of its geography.

That’s exactly why it’s so much. High cost of living and the closer to nyc, the more you pay

> why is NJ so expensive

Education

Proximity to NYC and Philadelphia

Proximity to beaches

Proximity to hiking/nature

Availability of great food of all types

4 seasons without any of them being too extreme

Culture

> literally noone even likes it their

no one*

there*

Then piss off and move somewhere else? We have enough people here without someone who doesn't even like it "their", move to the city if you don't like NJ. For a state no one likes we have an awfully high number of residents and the highest population density in the country.

Stop playing as if you dont know about the infamous reputation about New jersey ,

I personally dont care, as im an adult. im just asking why its so expensive if no one apparently likes it. and trust me if Philly was closer to NYC or if NYC was more affordable and had more space I, along with alot of your implanted residents would be in NY or philly too.

btw im looking into union nj i hear its got fast trains to NYC. gif
