[quote=njtosd]FWIW – We spent 4 yrs in northern NJ (Morris Co.) after having lived here for ten years. Our whole family was unhappy and we returned to San Diego in 2011. On paper, NJ should have been perfect – husband had a great job, house was probably the nicest I’ll ever own (2 acre lot, huge house, towering oaks, foxes, deer – very idyllic). School and downtown quaint shopping district were walkable. Nonetheless we couldn’t wait to get out – we were miserable. I would attribute it to the culture – not sure how exactly to describe it. We now live in a house on a tiny lot and the shopping area is barely walkable but definitely not quaint. We are much happier. So – I can sympathize with the husband of NYMom. I can definitely see his point of view without there being an underlying problem motivating the move. Everyone should stop jumping to conclusions.[/quote]
