- 2:51Speaker 1: Or did the heads of Tourism and Occupation of your
- 2:57Speaker 1: state Greece whoever was doing these these surveys.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Well, what are you saying away? You're saying New Jersey
- 3:04Speaker 2: shouldn't be the second high.
- 3:06Speaker 1: One safest place in America.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Excuse me?
- 3:09Speaker 1: I go by the crime rate, yeah right, Camden, Patterson, Newark, Trenton.
- 3:15Speaker 1: My god, even the state legislators want to get in
- 3:17Speaker 1: and out of trent right after a session because of
- 3:20Speaker 1: the blood's control trend. What are they talking about.
- 3:25Speaker 2: For the entire state. It's the lowest in the country
- 3:29Speaker 2: for the entire state, got nine million people.
- 3:31Speaker 1: It's the most condensed place in America.
- 3:33Speaker 3: That's what they say.
- 3:34Speaker 1: How could the quality of life be great if you're
- 3:37Speaker 1: living on top of one?
- 3:38Speaker 2: And?
- 3:38Speaker 6: Wow?
- 3:38Speaker 2: New Jersey is wonderful. I love, love, love love of
- 3:43Speaker 2: New Jersey. I think I agree. I think it's the
- 3:45Speaker 2: best state in America.
- 3:46Speaker 1: They pick your pockets, New Jersey, Turnpike Garden, State parklay.
- 3:51Speaker 3: How you guys.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Property taxes to New Yorkers.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Think about how it all shook out.
- 4:00Speaker 6: I can't really gauge her right now because New York
- 4:03Speaker 6: is mad expensive. I guess that's why Jersey's number two.
- 4:07Speaker 6: It's mad expensive, Alumiah, it's about all I can say.
- 4:11Speaker 6: Some money, some money thing.
- 4:13Speaker 5: I think it's a little crazy that, you know, we
- 4:16Speaker 5: can't really afford to live here.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Chirs live in New York for thirty years and now
- 4:20Speaker 4: I love to be in Jersey better than York New York.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Everything should be at the least forty fifty percent month.
- 4:26Speaker 4: Hi are actually more expensive than New Jersey.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Wow, well that may not be the case, since the
- 4:32Speaker 3: list does find one issue with Jersey. It ranked forty
- 4:36Speaker 3: ninth for affordability. New York not much better, ranking forty
- 4:40Speaker 3: seventh for affordability. And you know, in New York City
- 4:43Speaker 3: we've had our financial woes. The mayor now imposing this
- 4:46Speaker 3: pieta care a tax on second homes in the city
- 4:49Speaker 3: so the city can pay its bills. And even though
- 4:52Speaker 3: the tax is facing legal challenges, they still want to
- 4:55Speaker 3: push through with it.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I said it was a good report, but I agree
- 5:00Speaker 2: with it a thousand percent. Although I've never been to Idaho.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Oh, I've been to Idaho. Please don't insult me.
