Proximity to everything within a short drive. Employment, recreation, culture, transportation. Excellent range of lifestyles, from urban to rural and everything in between - and all located within 2 hours of New York City, and much of it within one hour. Excellent range of people to mix with and enjoy - rich, poor, every culture, every lifestyle. And with the advent and eventual maturing of an online poker industry, a tremendous potential of live and online play. If it works out like it should, you could pick a beautiful spot to live, grind online, and yet be located 90 minutes from the Atlantic City casinos, where I am sure online + B&M synergies will lead to lots of live tournaments and their associated cash games. Yet you are within a short distance to the employment opportunities of northern NJ and Manhattan, should that become necessary. And you are close to an endless selection of amazing clubs, restaurants, cultural and educational institutions, and all the rest of the accoutrements and ancillaries provided by the Capitol of the World. Exciting weather, with 4 distinct seasons and all possibilities from blizzards to tropical heat. New Jersey is a really fun place to live.
Some people point out crime and expense. Crime is a problem in the slums. And the slums are very small, very isolated, and easily identifiable and avoidable. Most of New Jersey has very little crime. And expensive is relative. It's similar to other areas within a stone's throw of a vibrant city.
Consider yourself enlightened.
