10 reasons you DO NOT want to move to New Jersey

Thinking about moving here? Think again. It's not all sunshine and roses! Here are 10 reasons you should look to relocate elsewhere.

1. Your kids will get smarter
New Jersey boasts the second ranked education system in the country.

2. You might get sunburn
We boast 130 miles of pristine, well maintained beaches, many of which feature expansive boardwalks if the sun gets to be too much.

3. You’ll gain weight I
New Jersey has more diners per square mile than any other state; it’s the place to be if you want "disco fries" at 3 a.m.

4. There’s too much to do
You can make a day trip to see where the Declaration of Independence was signed or a trip into the Big Apple, or stay at home and visit one of America’s best science centers (Liberty State Science Center) or one of the coolest aquariums on the planet (Adventure Aquarium in Camden).

5. You’ll gain weight II
New Jersey sports one of the best pizzeria/population ratios, and even the average New Jersey pizza is tremendous.

6. There are too many choices in music
Any state that can produce an eclectic group of pop stars like Frank Sinatra, Jon Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen has music for any taste.

7. You’ll gain weight III
Try finding pork roll/Taylor ham anywhere else in the USA.

8. It’s too popular
If you ever wonder if New Jersey is where people want to be, consider we are the most densely populated state in the union.

9. You’ll gain weight III
Except it will be healthy weight; New Jersey is a leading producer of blueberries, cranberries, corn, peaches, and, of course, the famous Jersey tomato (it is, after all, the Garden State).

10. You’ll lose weight
Despite the dizzying array of food choices, New Jersey consistently ranks as one of the least obese states in the US.

So, stay where you are, we’re fine without you.
