Everyone in Florida is from New Jersey, so take from that what you will. - JaxSean Apr 13, 13:31 1
- NY is well represented and I know that because my whole family either moved there or are snowbirds. Ugh! -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 13:33

Just a tad. I can literally go to a Target, Walmart, a major mall, Chipotle, Smash Burger, 5 Guys, a dozen diners, Shake Shack, Blaze Pizza, a dozen - Jovian Apr 13, 13:21 7
- This is why I wouldn't want to live there. :-) - Krusty Apr 13, 13:27
- I thin the difficulty in these polls is are they comparing *states* or cities within the states? - Spawn Apr 13, 13:23 3
  - It's just a popularity contest -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 13:26 2
    - Then how did Kentucky do so as well as they did? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:36 1
      - Alcoholics and degenerate gamblers made up 813 of the 1211 respondants -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 13:45
- although if I'm asking about a state, "what chain restaurants are nearby" is not really on my list of questions. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 13:23 1
  - Oh I agree. I was trying to make point that NJ (at least here in the north) has pretty much every single store thats mentioned on ST regularly. - Jovian Apr 13, 13:33
Yup. The jokes make people think it's not as nice as it is. I bet most people that voted haven't visited the state or just passed through it. - Krusty Apr 13, 13:17 6
- Same for Illinois vs Indiana vs Ohio vs Kentucky vs Tennessee. - Spawn Apr 13, 13:21
- To be fair, NJ is like 3-5 different zones, most quite nice. Northern NJ casts its pall over the entire state. -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 13:20 4
  - and even then, its just a few townships in N Jersey that do. - Jovian Apr 13, 13:24 3
    - And the more I think about it, any state that deals with urban v. rural also has the same issues -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 13:27
    - not to say that Garfield or Lodi are great. They arent. But thats where all the eastern european, Russian and Ukrainian strippers go to live when they - Jovian Apr 13, 13:27 1
      - the ratio of schools to strippers is a vital statistic to rank a regions liveability potential -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 13, 13:30
I was just thinking this ... and PA, DE, and NJ are all in different spots on the list but very similar. DE with no sales tax should be higher. -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 13:01
