I feel like I've heard it a while ago originally. But I hate it because it's wildly inaccurate in my experience. But anyway, how do you define kind and nice. I don't feel there is much of a meaningful difference between the two.

They absolutely happen in Jersey. Just search Karen on here

How do you define kind and nice? And that anecdote was posted as a comment on another post in here yesterday

Nah, having moved away, Jersey people live up to the reputation, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just misunderstood and rude according to the cultural norms outside of the northeast. But there are definitely noticibly different cultural norms regarding politeness.

I don't think it was intentional, but that doesn't make it any more acceptable.

Im trying to generally get at the idea of a courtesy notice. Maybe you left a garden hose on and it's running. Maybe you left your car trunk wide open. You'd rather be uninformed than have people come to your door about it?

That's what I'm saying, what if it's an emergency and they don't got a phone, or need more immediate assistance? Are you gonna answer the door? Is acting frantic and and loud going to make you more likely to answer the door then?

And regarding the second point, if you had left your headlights on or had some issue that wasn't an emergency, you wouldn't want to be informed of it?

What about asking for emergency assistance, or letting you know you left the car lights on, or that a bush is on fire or other non-solicitng reasons?

I'd be less likely to open the door for police than a random stranger.

Nah, that's too isolated of a way to live

But ignoring them would also be somewhat thoughtless.

Is that the most easily identifiable? There's tons of black people. It does relatively little to narrow the pool. Their clothing would be more identifiable. And it's not just the number of people impersonating PSE&G. You also gotta factor in actual PSEG employees going around.

You know it really comes off the wrong way when the only identifying information you provided is that they are black.

You can also provide approximate height, what they were wearing, their gender. Tattoos? Any accents? What good is your warning going to do other than to be weary of all black people that say they are from PSE&G, which is every black PSE&G employee

Most don't. The ones that do are usually labeled second hand shops

Lol really? I'm dying to be able to go to the shoreline weekend and a great sculpture garden the next. That's the reason to move to NJ. You got so many cultural and recreational amenities within easy reach. The only noticible gap in recreation is truly great remote nature type recreation.

But the economy isn't in shambles. That might be why you find the prices to be so surprising.

It's land just like any other land that can be owned. And a lot of things can be attractive. A cool climbing tree can be a natural attraction. Does that mean we should be able to go on anyone's property to climb their tree, or see some flowers on it, or go fly kites on their grass patch?

If you want to argue for abolishing private property completely, fair enough, but beach front property works just the same as any other property.

That will only help so much. The sun doesn't just jump the distance between the shade and below the dashboard. People aren't that stupid.

Why not just post the opportunity here?

But then they'd still have to buy a similar amount of land for a new place.not like Princeton or some place similar is any cheaper than new Brunswick.

Yea, but why do so?

Worst in what sense?

The tail starts right at basically the center of Somerset county. You couldn't place an east/west road better in Somerset if the goal is to get it in the center. The problem is the counties are not lined up it wouldn't be an east/west road if it goes center to center. It would be Northwest/southeast

18 basically ends right at Somerset county. 287 has that weird tail that goes east west between somerset and Middlesex then goes south north instead of north south

Route 18? 287?
