NJ To Become Wasteland: 44% Of Residents Plan To Flee State

Thanks to the highest property taxes in the nation and an unsustainable cost of living, 44% of New Jersey residents plan to leave the state in the 'no so distant future,' according to a recent survey from the Garden State Initiative (GSI) and Fairleigh Dickenson University School of Public & Global Affairs.

Committing to a more solid time frame, 28% say they are planning to leave within five years, and 39% say they will do so over the next decade, according to Insider NJ.
Unsurprisingly, Property Taxes and the overall Cost of Living were cited as the main drivers. The results also debunk two issues frequently cited in anecdotal accounts of outmigration, weather and public transportation, as they ranked 8th and 10th respectively, out of 11 factors offered.

The desire to leave the Garden State was reflected most strongly among young residents (18-29) with almost 40% anticipating leaving the state within the next five years. At the other end of the spectrum, a third (33%) of those nearing retirement (50-64) plan to leave within the next five years. -Insider NJ

Look around Sussex and wicomico county are flooded with them. The sad thing is they come here with the same liberal left wing mindset and eventually the same will happen. It's sad what's been done to the outskirts of the Delaware beaches. They've flooded the area with GARBAGE Ryan homes. Outside of the once beautiful Fenwick/Selbyville area is a disgrace today

That's why we left Maryland (Eastern Shore) for Florida. Florida has a financial reserve of over a Billion dollars. What does MD have?
