  1. Most of my family moved to New Jersey (basically in and around Old Bridge, and my poor Aunt who lived in Brooklyn, NY for almost 80 years and doesn’t drive and walks with a cane is now basically homebound if her daughter or son-in-law aren’t around to drive her somewhere. There’s nothing but houses for at least a mile. Anything that would get into the city (the NJT bus) is only on the state route cutting through town, which is also the main commercial strip, and the commuter railroad is many towns away. They claim it’s “Better” and “cheaper” to live out there, but while the home prices are lower, but the property taxes are INSANE!
