O.K. Everyone! What's so wrong - or right - about New Jersey?

Three times in the past two days my state has been dissed to me on Fluther. Why does everyone have it in for New Jersey (only Yorkers call it “Jersey”)? I happen to love it here; yes, there are too many people, but if all the Bennies went home, we’d be just fine. I live ½ mile from the ocean, an hour from two great cities and 2 hours from the Kittattiny Mountains and Delaware Water Gap. Plus the people (cf., “Jersey Shore“and Tony Soprano) are so classy! Not a poll, I want a real discussion about why you hate or love my state. (For those of you who don’t know me, my tongue is – as usual – firmly in my cheek.)
