[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 9557835, member: 7808"] Sorry, but I have heard a number of people say this, and the thing they all have in common is that they're from New Jersey. It simply isn't true. There is nothing remotely rural or barren about New Jersey. There are places that seem greener than the rest of New Jersey, but that's it. As proof, consider this: [URL='http://www.datapointed.net/visualizations/maps/distance-to-nearest-mcdonalds/']Distance To McDonald’s – A McDistance Map Of The Contiguous U.S.[/URL] The area of New Jersey with the lowest McDonald's density is higher that the highest McDonald's density in states like Vermont and South Dakota. At every point in New Jersey, you are within walking distance of a McDonald's. Not a close walk. Certainly not a pleasant walk. But you will get there before you die. And there can be nothing rural about that. When viewed against actually rural parts of the US, there's simply no comparison. I'll give you that there are places where it's rural compared to Long Island, but that's about it. [/QUOTE]
