As a capitive.... er resident of NJ lets clear a few things up.

AR-15's aren't illegal, but they have to meet certain requirements like a non-telescoping stock, no flash suppressor or bayonet lug. All magazines are 15 rounds or less. (for any gun)

There are some nice areas to live in nj. It only smells up north around Newark, or some of the marsh area (stagnant water, natural, just the way it is).

There is NO EXIT TAX. Not sure why people keep saying there is. What they will do is hold a portion of your home sale to make sure you paid your income tax for the time you lived here, sales tax, and property taxes. If all those are good they'll give you the money back, if they aren't they'll use that money to get you squared away.

Income tax in nj is 3% under 70k and 6% up to 500k. Then it's like 9%.

Property taxes are just nuts. Rent is expensive.

Like most places there are bad crime areas, and areas with low crime. Camden is bad, Newark is bad, you really don't want to leave the casino areas of Atlantic City etc. Just have to know the area, like anywhere else in the world.
