Essex, Passaic, and Bergen.

What a shock. People moved out of the most dense counties in the country during and after a pandemic.

I've got to think essex, passaic, and bergen are driven by a handful of big places in that town.

I'm in bergen and if i put my house up for sale it probably wouldn't last a week until an open house before it was sold.

If anything, based on the 3 houses being gutted and expanded on my street at this very moment, people are putting down more permanent roots. Seems everyone who had a starter house has said "fuck it, lets make this our forever home".

Which sucks, because that was my plan, and they gobbled up all the tradespeople.
