But this is more in the SW VA area (up and down 81). I remember looking at the enrollment of the college I went to and the university I work at, both have New Jersey as their top enrollment underneath Virginia. People must REALLY want to get out of there.

They have invaded Nags Head NC by buying and renting all these hugh cottages for vacation. They have driven all the prices up there form food, golf, property and all consumer goods. They think its a deal because of what they are use to paying in NJ but what was once a nice little home town feeling beach area has just grown like crazy. I also get alot of people from NJ moving to the Virginia Beach/Chesapeake area. They move from 2000 sq foot homes and come her and buy 4000 sq foot homes for less and pay cash for them. Most are retired couples who just want to get away from NJ's high cost of living. Now when I say retired couples I mean in their mid 50's is quite common. Their great customers as I'm in the Insurance business and after they find out how much cheaper ins. is in Va they love ya. This is propably true with the school system and explains why they go to college here. With a military area we get drivers from all around the country and it can get quite crazy at times. I'm lucky that my rout to work does not involve getting tied up in traffic everyday. I do drive about 15 to 20 each way but I can take back roads with very little trafic and a few lights but I'm sure that will end some day.
