i bet it's cause half of r/NYC ended up moving here after rent increases pushed them out.

To be fair, NYC has both /r/nyc and /r/newyorkcity after some subreddit drama.

As a mod of both here & r/NYC as well as IRL I spend an equal amount of time in NJ & NYC, I feel highly conflicted on who to support 🤷🏼♂️, but for today, go team, glad we’re growing!

That’s true, they do have their own niches. At least it doesn’t apply to here.

Not to mention the overall quality of almost everything in this state
clearedtoland22 OP t1_iz187yt wrote
As an NYC ex-pat, one of the most favorite and notable changes now living in a suburb is the sense of community. I actually know our mailman, sanitation folks, bump into the mayor, and our elected officials - and neighbors of course. As a lifelong NY’er, it feels strange that I actually have access to these people.
Obviously, the complexity of our infrastructure or size of our population is by no means comparable. I’m more active in the communities out here because I don’t feel like a drop in the ocean.

I'm going off memory but there was the one main mod at NYC who didn't allow picture and video posts then started banning people when they complained.

Union County. Definitely guilty of the affordable-home exodus but now I wish I’d done it so many years earlier.

Eh I mean the NYC-NJ pipeline goes back centuries you’re just being smart lol. And yeah I was born and raised in NJ but did a few years in NYC and very glad to be back on this side of the river now.

Meh, medium density like NJ has its own set of complexities right? E.g. unlike NYC that can build less transit (albeit more complex) to move lots of people, NJT needs to build way more to move computable amounts. Not to mention NYC operating at different levels of restrictions compared to NJ which needs to organize all the way from state to municipalities.

Every other thread is "Hey I'm moving to NJ, where should I live?!?!?!"
alheim t1_iz1iogm wrote
I'm from NJ (Monmouth shore town), been in the city for 15 years. I know the mailman, and we have a close knit and somewhat large group of friends from the community, mostly from the immediate neighborhood. Our elected officials come to the community board meetings and Civic association meetings. It's great. Don't get me wrong, I love it in NJ, but your experience is anecdotal. In NJ I was always in my car and that limited my ability to meet people.
JKastnerPhoto t1_iz1k04c wrote
Yup. Years ago I posted one of my photos /r/NYC and it got me in Time Magazine, which was so amazing for my photo career.... now I was banned for a month for posting (what I feel) was similar content. That sub has gotten pretty harsh.
Edit: unrelated. The Reddit admins permabanned my account for no reason. If there is a reason they won't tell me. If you see this and want to vouch for me, please help. I have no recourse but can somehow edit old comments. I'm on Instagram and Twitter @jimmykastner if you want to reach out.

I’ve been to SC a couple times. One time while getting an Uber, the driver was talking to us about politics and history and then all of a sudden he said “….your president” and we were like what is he talking about lmao. Then it clicked that he was saying Lincoln was our president and not his. That was a trip. Also I couldn’t believe they have the confederate flag on their license plates. I legit thought it was a joke plate or something but nope, it’s official. Also a shit ton of churches literally every mile
