New Jersey's negative reputation is almost entirely due to people from NYC jeering at an outgroup

    People from Philadelphia and the whole of Delaware also routinely dunk on NJ for many reasons.

    • Can't pump their own gas.
    • Can't turn left.
    • Gotta pay a toll to get out.
    • It's a literal swamp.
    • Every single aspect of the Meadowlands.

    Pine Barrens: Am I a joke to you?

    Seriously though, NJ has some seriously varied ecology from the Delaware basin to the Piedmont, the Skylands, and more. People from outside just don’t think much about it because their experience of NJ is the clusterfuck that is flying into Newark Airport and driving to Manhattan through the meadowlands sprawl.

    All I know is at least when the world ends I’ll at least make for a good Warboy; if I can drive in this mess unscathed then I can definitely handle the wasteland.

    NYC has so much more influence that my comment still stands.

    Plus, NJ is Philadelphia's collective weed man, and would be more bearable to share a state with than rural PA (see: SEPTA funding issues [and Pittsburgh is having issues with their public transit too])
