The latest poll found 28 percent of people wanting to leave citing America's highest property taxes as the leading reason; 19 percent mentioned the state's generally high cost-of-living, with 6 percent citing housing costs and 5 percent citing state taxes.

Other top reasons for wanting to leave New Jersey include the weather, environment, longing for a change of scenery, overdevelopment, congestion and government corruption.
Yup... my folks live in NJ... and those are the reasons they want to leave. Stupidly high taxes... massive corruption... and little being done to actually improve the place.

My high school used to be nice... by the time I left, it was getting a bit sketchy... by the time my brother left (four years later), it was very sketchy. Now... it's downright dangerous.

It's a real problem.

My sister's fiance moved from New Jersey a few years ago. His parents still live there though, but his brother committed suicide, hopefully not for these reasons.

Moved out of that hell-hole this year, don't regret a second of getting out of there.
