After watching this video, I’m sure you’ll understand why many prefer New Jersey over New York. Let’s start with what both states have in common.
First, both have a shrinking population. Yep, they’re losing people. But, New York has more than twice as many people as New Jersey. (NY-19.4 million, NJ- 8.9 million) Most of the population in both states live in the New York metropolitan area, the biggest metropolitan area in the world. Look at that! Despite not having one city within it with a population greater than 300,000, New Jersey is the most densely populated of the 50 states.
Residents of both states are mostly Christian, but both have sizeable minorities who identify as Jewish and Muslim.
Both do share quite a bit of history.
American Indians had lived in what would become the two states for thousands of years. At the time of European arrival, Algonquian and Iroqouian-speaking tribes dominated what would become New York, while the Lenape dominated what would become New Jersey. In 1609, Henry Hudson explored much of what would later be the two states, and soon the Dutch were establishing trading posts, establishing the colony of New Netherland. Soon after, the Swedes settled parts of future New Jersey, establishing the colony of New Sweden, which lasted just 17 years before the Dutch, led by Peter Stuyvesant, conquered it and made it part of New Netherland. But in 1664, the English conquered the Dutch and took over, changing the name to New York and also establishing the colony of New Jersey. In 1673 the Dutch recaptured New York City and renamed it New Orange. One year later the English got it back. Whew.
During the colonial era, both New Jersey and New York attracted immigrants from all over the place, and thus became diverse places. And then, one long border dispute. Between 1701 and 1765, the two colonies led skirmishes and raids against each other in what became known as the New York - New Jersey Line War. The King finally settled it on October 7, 1769. Between 1708 and 1738, New York governors ruled over New Jersey, and this of course made Jersey residents mad.
During the American War of Independence, both colonies saw lots of action, but more than a third of all battles fought in the war took place in New York. After the United States became a country, New York City was the capital until 1790. New Jersey was the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, New York the 11th. While both states had banned slavery by the early 1800s, it was a gradual thing, and even as late as the Civil War Jersey had a small slave population.
Canals in both states drove growth and industry.
So which is better? New York or New Jersey? Which states should I compare next? Also, am I pathetically trying to do a New York accent at the end of the video, or a New Jersey accent? And finally, I have NEW SHIRTS.

I have to be on team NY, since I live in Buffalo NY. Though originally from California. Thanks for doing this and good to see Mr Betts too.
CT and MA
U should compare Illinois and California as they are both seen as bad states to live in
Intellectual One I’m from New York and I agree
Rome and Venice compared
As a New Jerseyan, I'm curious if there are any other actual New Jerseyans watching this.
hello.
Hi there
Sup
Elizabeth rep yay yay
yes from NJ but live in vt going back to NJ Vt sucks vermonters are the rudest people you can ever meet Jersyites are more friendly and polite That's another debate for later are we Jersians or Jerseyites lol
Cheaper is a relative term in New Jersey as the cost of living is still outrageous in the Garden State. As a former South Jerseyian, I would love to see a video on the differences between North and South Jersey.
I'm from DE and can definitively say South Jersey > North Jersey
100% most def
Totally agree. I actually wrote a paper on this. Seeing a video on this would be pretty cool.
Bryan Harris this is why us south jersey people stan delaware, you’re the only out of state people that know how to drive in jersey
@@ThePhl4ever Delawhere?
I’ve lived in NJ for 25 years or so and I have never heard anyone say “Joisey” in my entire life. That’s like not even the accent.
LOL!!
I do, but only as a joke
fr the nj stereotype is more what italians originally from new york sound like
Sounds like you may be from South Jersey. Us North Jersey people always get confused for New Yorkers so I’m not sure what remote part of the state you live in
@@TheAPI From north jersey as well
Tbh New york, Pennsylvania and New Jersey should just form one state to flex on the rest of the U.S
On thst note I can think of several states that should merge Maryland ,Delaware DC , along with Vermont and New Hampshire .
Fr
@Deborah Tunis I mean Philly, Jersey and NYC don't got beef it's just the rest of their respective states that hate them
And how did Pennsylvania get thrown into this mix? Pennsylvania is what New Jersyans and New Yorkers call the Alabama of the northeast lol. Pennsylvania isn’t anywhere near on the same vibe as NY/NJ..
@@TheAPI Philadelphia is like southern ny and New Jersey, upstate Ny and most of Pennsylvania are similar as well
Short answer: New Jersey is crazy New York is Angry New York City: Crazy and Angry Note: This is just a joke, please don't get mad in the comments.
I'm currently living in New Jersey and both being angry and crazy apply to my state
So New York City is angry AND crazy.
WE ARE NOT CRAZY WE HAVE PERSONALITY!!!!
Crazy and Angry? Maybe you just a lil bitch lmao I'm kidding tho.
Brandon Bonett come to upstate/ western ny where were nice and talk to people
Symbol of New Jersey on Thumbnail : Berries Symbol of New York on Thumbnail : Statue of Liberty New Jerseyans : *THE STATUE OF LIBERTY IS IN NEW JERSEY WATERS!!!*
If you've never had the Jersey Blue berry wines, they're amazing, I miss them so much. There's also a blueberry beach beer that's rockin. Connecticut blueberries are delicious too but I love the Jersey blue ones.
Lol facts on Statue of Liberty
cameron burke stfu
I literally screamed that when I saw the thumbnail
@@BC-ot8ev is your real name cuomo
NJ resident here. NY has a larger than life presence but really much NJ sees NY as a place to "play" or go to work then leave rather than live there. Anything you want to do - theater, concerts, sight see, mountains, exhibits, Baseball and much more, but at the end of the day we're content just coming back to NJ. Also tons of NY'ers and PA neighbors come to NJ for our outlets, beaches, diners and theme parks, Medieval times, Apple/Pumpkin Picking, and to use Newark Airport and more.
New Jersey was also home to the US Capitol for a time! Nassau Hall, the oldest building on Princeton University’s campus, served as the capitol for four months in 1783.
I would suggest comparing Texas and California next
Brain4Breakfast has a video comparing Texas vs California.
That one is definitely coming!
@skyydiver72 California is better.
Michael ‘Hee Hee’ Jackson Texas is better.
Jack let’s hear
North Jersey is practically an extension of nyc and I live in New Jersey
True and anything along the Hudson River is underrated, even the Monmouth county beaches are basically only an hour drive away to Manhattan.
Dan Nguyen you don’t want Monmouth county beaches. Go to Ocean County ones.
Dan Nguyen you can even see NYC from the top of sandy hood
Tyler L go to SOUTH JERSEY BEACHES
Now you got carried away. Stop it ! I lived in Brooklyn my entire 43 years of life. I have been living in New Jersey for 2 years. New Jersey in no way is like New York. New York is a whole different vibe. Everything in New Jersey closes at 2am lol
Things that are claimed to be NY but are really in New Jersey The Giants The Jets The Red Bulls the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island you can actually walk to Ellis Island from NJ over a bridge and the electric power that lights the Statue of Liberty comes out of Jersey City .
When I visited New York City in 2002 our tour group got to see Ellis Island. My maternal grandparents came into this country through Ellis Island in 1914.
This video should be renamed to “New York City vs New Jersey”. This coming from someone from upstate New York where we have far more of a rivalry with Pennsylvania than New Jersey.
Yeah that makes sense. It was a challenge to try to make this comparison consistent and simplified.
@@iammrbeat Try the poisonous rivalry between Boston and NYC that goes back to the real war between the English and Dutch, then for dominance of the transatlantic trade, then to industry and banking and finally to sports. I think Boston is ahead in number of colleges and universities in or "near" the city.
Up north in upstate their is defiantly more of a rivalry with Vermont than Pennsylvania
@@iammrbeat No it should be Tri-State wars.. I'm from Long Island NY but where was Connecticut in all of this? lol Robert Mechalke is right though..you can see NY borders about 5 states, Upstate NY is far different than living in the metropolitan area even though long island is slightly less crazy than living closer to the city (depending on how far away you are from the city) it's still home to many many rich NYC residents who own million dollar yachts and mansions on the ocean... the local long islanders however are far more working class and blue collar than them.. I think you should do a video about the The Tri-State (which includes NY, NJ, and CT) and the differences between them. I learned some things from this video I had no idea south jersey was influenced by Philly that's pretty interesting maybe even South Jersey ppl like different sports teams too compared to Northern..just like upstate NY and downstate. Anyway cool vid.
*New York vs North Jersey, most of the things said about NJ aren’t really true outside the north of the state
Here from Morris County, New Jersey. New Jersey has a preserved small town urban vibe that is found nowhere else.
I used to live in Hopatcong (southeast tip of Sussex). My family would frequent Morris County. We now moved to San Diego, CA.
I looked for an apartment out and away from JC but near an NJT station. That "small town urban vibe" sounds very much like New England, away from the big cities.
I've actually heard that before. I wonder if it's the zoning laws in most Jersey cities?
I currently live in Hudson County NJ, and damn I can smell the sea from the Palisade Cliffs
I think the outskirts of Philly have done a good job of this as well
I think you might’ve gotten the fact of New York having the most battles fought in their state wrong. New Jersey has another nickname and that nickname is “the crossroad of the revolution”. New Jersey actually had the most battles fought in their lands during the revolutionary war.
NY lost battles NJ won turning point of Revolution TRENTON. NJ richer Higher per capita income . .
Bruh not one city? Ever heard of Newark, Jersey City, Union City, Camden, Trenton, Hackensack. Bruh all those towns are cities.
Paterson
Atlantic City
Hackensack the home of M&M's
union city and hackensacks arent cities
They said not one city bigger than 300,000, there are 7 real cities (100,00 or above)
I live in northeastern NJ literally a 30-45 minute bus ride into NYC. Honestly I like both states and if I stay in the US I can’t image living elsewhere
Same. I lived in South Carolina and Georgia and I was miserable. New Jersey and New York are the best.
Makes sense. You have quick access to both.👍🏿
that’s true. i would never want to live in the south, it’s just something about the northeast that makes it the best
Same here. It's called the NYC metropolitan cus we're literally surrounding it. We get a lot of famous influential people from here, a lot of potential.
Same I’m from Newark.
Not pumping your own gas is a luxury. I’ve never envied needing to step outside in the rain/snow/cold to do it! EDIT: disclaimer to those replying, I don’t care what your preference is, or your opinion of my preference.
Jason same!!
Hal 9000 yea poor me for enjoying something in my life
The pump always stops on my car after about 10 seconds and I tell the gas attendants "if it stops I can hold the handle, the gas will shoot back out if you try it again". The ones that don't listen to me make me want to leave this state and never come back. I can't tell you how many times a gas attentent has ignored my instructions and spilled gas all over my car. Why must we be the only state to do this shit? I don't like people touching my car.
Agreed Jason; and the gas is cheaper here!
@@Fullmetalseagul haha
5:38 Central Jersey: Am I a joke to you?
sorry to break it to you, but it don’t exist
@@Valentina-ud1ez Well this disputed region we speak of is culturally closer to New York than Philly, but it is culturally closer to South Jersey than North Jersey. Any objective person would see that as its own thing hence, Central Jersey.
As a person that lives in New Jersey. I like New York. But my state is much better lol
I agree
when they forget 80% of your state, and only talk about one city thats not even the capital. :-(
@@jamespigeon1399 how did I forget?
@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI im just talking about the video in general. I live in upstate but have visited both nyc and nj, and i like nj more than nyc. My das is from camden and my mom is from edison. But upstate new york is better than nj. Gotta have some state pride #upstateofmind
As an upstate new yorker I agree
**Uses Statue of Liberty in video thumbnail to represent New York, when in fact, it is in New Jersey waters**
Lots of my New Jersey friends like to tell me that the Statue of Liberty is in NJ. That may well be the case, however NY has legal jurisdiction. You pay NY sales tax at the gift shop.
Exactly!
Jaheim Barrett Can’t deny that. No one thinks of New Jersey when they see the statue. Except people from New Jersey lol
PREACH
Wait! Is the Statue floating? I don't think so... if I'm not wrong the Statue is on Liberty Island which is part of New York state! Good job doing research 👏 but you need some improvement!!
As a native New Yorker (Brooklyn) currently a Jersey resident I can confirm the rivalry. It's soo much cheaper in Jersey yet I'm a 20 minute train ride from NYC. Best of both worlds.
There is no rivalry, NJ is a small, obscure state whose fame only comes from NYC or Philly. Any state in the northeast that does not have a major city or sports teams, are obscure. Devils don't count.
@@returnofthebrotha sound like a hating ass nigga 🤣🤣 from 124th Cleveland Street, Orange NJ there is a rivalry most def and our fame don't come from just NYC or Philly lmaoo, we known for other things too 🤡
@@returnofthebrotha The Giants and the Jets are both based in East Rutherford, NJ
@@northamericaj Such as? Name things NOT attached to NYC or Philly.
@@infernogolem7533 They are no based there and they do not represent NJ, they are NYC teams that play in NJ. If NYC was not what it is, there would be no teams to be played in NJ. The Giants used to play in CT too, so...? NJ, like CT, RI, DE, ME, NH and VT - are obscure states without any major, national cities and are dominated by NY, MA, PA, MD and DC's cities and fame. Those are the facts. Look at the bright side. A major city like Philly keeps wishing that they were in metro NYC. I believe Boston wishes it too. That is why PA and MA get jealous of NJ and CT.
I'm from NJ and I'd say this video is pretty accurate. I'd like to add that NJ has more (better) shore towns since we have that barrier island along a large portion of our shore, and NJ was originally divided East vs west instead of north vs south. It makes sense since the Pine Barrens divide the two down here in South Jersey. East Jersey is farther away from Philly so NYC's cultural influence stretches farther down along the shore
“You don’t want to live in the best looking house on the block. You want to live across the best looking house on the block so that you can look at the best house.” That is such a smart quote!!!
Why are New Yorkers so cranky? The light at the end of the tunnel is New Jersey
Such a quality Dad joke.
@@iammrbeat Ty. I will be here all week. Try the veal
You say that like its a bad thing.
Jeff Slote unless your driving East
I live near the Lincoln Tunnel and that just made me bawl in laughter. Keep it up, you made a Jersey local proud
I've lived in New Jersey my entire life, and I personally, no surprise here, like New Jersey better. I've been to New York, many many many times, and it's great and all. The city has so much culture, and it's vibrant. However, Jersey just offers the best of both worlds. I can drive just one hour in each direction, and be in the Appalachia Mountains in the Northwest corner of our state, or be down the shore at all of our beautiful beaches, which are so much better than Long Island's beaches, and no...we don't like the tv show "The Jersey Shore" either, or I can be in the midst of a city like New York or Philadelphia. It just offers you some of the best options, and great diversity. I am very proud to call Jersey home, and I encourage more people to come and visit our mountains, amusement parks, and especially come to see our beaches at the Jersey Shore.
You hit the nail on the head as to why NJ is an underrated treasure.
Yes! Jersey has the best of both worlds and the best corn on the planet.
Aiden DeMarsey I 10000% agree! I love living in NJ 💕 we have everything!
I live in NJ too and it is superior. Everyone is nice. There are more forests. They're all always doctors there for you. New York is only popular for its city.
@@iammrbeat You guys didn't get to show Skylands (North Jersey mountains) and Long Beach Island, Long Branch etc. Some places, and towns around the Watchung mountains and south to Windsor, or even those Branchburg Hillsborough town areas, are pretty nice with the cows, wine fields and farms, horses etc. Also what's unique and wonderful in New Jersey are the winding roads in the smaller mountains (they call them hills, but they're actually just drive-able, habitable mini-mountains and valleys) the ones that look almost impossible to pave roads and build houses, lots of big beautiful houses, and they somehow did it. There's some comparisons to the Atlanta mountain suburbs if you've ever been to there in Georgia. Big houses in the forest towns and hills etc. You can find huge huge houses around these areas, like Somerset, Hunterdon and Morris county. Hunterdon has some of the most beautiful parks. Morristown is also underrated as one of the cozy towns but with that Virginia, New England type colonial feel, mixed with new. Princeton is also underrated and has a nice feel to it, great amenities, parks and shops, and has an educated base of people and thinkers, great for learning and thinking ideas etc. And Jersey also has some of the best Pizza, often just as good, and sometimes different. Long Island also has underrated wine fields and open land. Also, the Hudson River mountain drives on New Jersey is underrated, there's some little sand beaches there you can dip your feet in.
People from New York keep migrating to Jersey , so there’s that 😌
Ha... so true. I'm from union city but now live in bergen County....the amount of people that are originally from the Bronx is crazy...
Yep like me👌
Some northern dwellers are moving down south lol
hey beautiful 😍
That's because they want to finally buy a house instead of the Matrix post office box sized apt they have been living in..God Bless NYC ( even though Hells Kitchen best describes it now)..the amount of danger and bad being there through the decades has gotton worse, not better..I think the 1990s were the best NYC and most Dems would agree Guilianni made it safer and less homelessness...maybe the good that will come outta this is lower housing prices. I got tired of walking frankly,NYC is for walkers..kinda like those zombies. Give me a car and a house and a Walmart..Bye walking from my apt to Zabar's..this social distancing makes NYC useless.
I currently live in the Syracuse area, and the snowfall point is accurate! I should mention that the cost of living varies greatly throughout the upstate region. It was awesome you mentioned the Adirondack and Finger Lakes regions, both are excellent tourist destinations for people living outside NY who enjoy the outdoors!
I am from New Jersey and I can confirm the rivalry goes deep.
Which part of Jersey?
@@iammrbeat Bergen County. Right by New York City.
He drew the north vs south jersey line just all wrong
@follow petitelordexx Union is North Jersey and nothing else. Look at a map.
@@iammrbeat Middlesex, no major crime ever happens here
There's an old Joke. Why does New Jersey have the most toxic waste sites in the country and why does New York have the most lawyers in the country? Answer: Because New Jersey got to choose first.
this is the best, made me laugh for sure!!!!
NJ is more litigious, per capita.
Booo!
I wanna like but 69 is the best like count ever and is SOOO rare
I literally don't get it I- 👁👄👁
You get points for mentioning the subs/hoagies distinction, but should also include taylor ham/pork roll as that name seem to divide the state as well!! Love your videos - they're great!!
I live in South Jersey. Lived here all my life. Winters here are mild, with very little snow. Thanks for sharing.
It depends on the winter. Some years we get a lot of snow
I never heard the expression "DownState New York" before. It's always New York City vs Upstate. and Long Island. I forgot. sorry
people in upstate say downstate. that's everything below Albany.
Also parts of Westchester are definitely not upstate but also not part of the city
And Staten island
Alexander kono and rockland county
Westchester is NOT upstate it’s the suburbs of NYC
I'm a New Jersey resident. From Middlesex County. As the name suggests, it's in the middle of the state. (Btw, Central Jersey exists - people from Hunterdon, Middlesex, Somerset, Monmouth, and Mercer Counties hate being called North or South Jersey. It's Central.) I love New York City and visit almost every weekend. Can't beat the restaurant and entertainment scene. However I love New Jersey too. So many charming small towns, cool cities, beaches, mountains, parks, all reachable within a couple hour's drive no matter what part of the state you're in. I am happy to call this my home.
i couldnt agree with your statement more. & thats very true. im in central jersey & i hate that people call it north😂 its not north lmao
Maybe if you’re from the lower side of Middlesex county or on the other side of the Raritan I just see it as the New York metro area everything under Monmouth is south jersey to me besides the shore they’re their own thing
Exactly, I've lived in both North and Central Jersey, Hudson and Middlesex Counties. Middlesex is definitely neither North, nor South Jersey. Central Jersey is definitely a real thing.
someone’s gotta tell these “central” jersey people that they’re just southern north jersey
i couldnt agree more. also from middlesex county and i love new jersey. ive never understood why people bash on it. were in such an amazing location and have so much to offer
Extremely informative. Thank you!
Life long New Jersey resident here. Fun fact: New Jersey people do not refer to the state as "Jersey", much less "Joisey" (that's an old fashioned Brooklyn, NY accent anyway). The only people who seem to call it "Jersey" are out-of-staters.
New Jersey is growing, but VERY slowly. Like, we only get about 100,000 new people every 6 or 7 years. New York is shrinking though, but also very slowly.
Yeah, my data was based on the last couple years.
@michaelatw86 wow
New york is shrinking very fast.
The part of New York that's shrinking in terms of population is mainly upstate
@@NaturalMonroe The state is, but not the city.
I grew up in “Central Jersey “. Exit 9 to be exact. If I could afford it, I would have never left. Sure, winter sucks, but if money were no object, I’d be back there in a New York minute.

Great video! Would love to see Albany vs NYC, Buffalo vs NYC or buffalo vs Toronto
Your videos are great man. Ever think of comparing Canadian provinces? I'm originally from New Brunswick and a fantastic comparison to that province would be both quebec and nova scotia
I lived in both states, currently in NY. We certainly have a rivalry. There are great things that can be said about both. There are also downsides as well. In the end, they’re two states with great people, culture, and scenery

There is a "Central Jersey", contrary to what some commenters think! Source, I lived there from the time I was born until very recently.
You forgot the biggest debate in New Jersey: Taylor Ham (North) vs. Pork Roll (South)
Yes!
pork roll all the way
The correct answer is Taylor Ham
Taylor ham is correct
Pork roll
As a former resident of upstate NY (western ny) I can confirm that most of my brethren couldn’t care less about NJ. All the hate was reserved for NYC.
As a person from NJ. I can confirm that most of the hatred is directed towards the city. Nothing against you upstaters.
seandelevan We hate upstate and especially West New York so . Not like actually actually hate (Jersey is just little brother joshing) but it’s definitely aimed at both Jersey and Upstate.
Good insight!
www.fitsnews.com/2020/01/20/south-carolina-hates-ohio-according-to-this-map-confusing-the-internet/ According to this map NY hate NJ the most and NJ hate everyone.
As someone from NYC i think we should keep all the tax money that we have to send to upstate and western NY, DOWN STATE.
This was informative thanks.
Thank you for making this video.
My pleasure!
Here from South Jersey (go to school at Princeton, live on Long Beach Island, grew up in Shamong), and I can honestly say that South Jersey is one of America's hidden gems (with two exceptions: Atlantic City in the last 2 decades and Camden). We've got a lot of amazing suburban areas, yes, but the beauty of the rural farmlands and the Pine Barrens are incredible, not to mention our amazing beaches. Funny how New Yorkers always pick on Jersey but they still come here to vacation, huh? We're only an hour and a half away from Philly or New York and there's just so much amazing stuff to do and to see here, it's really incredible! Please do not judge New Jersey by the rude New Yorkers who masquerade themselves as North Jerseyers or by Jersey Shore, New Jersey is truly an amazing place!
Those times are so wrong. I live in Union county and I'll make it to nyc in 20 mins and philly in just under an hour.
I'm from North Jersey and South Jersey is so beautiful, the culture is definitely my type
@@ElyOmar That's basically it, a lot of places in New Jersey are just a 20 to 45 minutes drive to Manhattan or less. You can go from Jersey Shore to NYC in about an hour, and many make that trip during the summer time.
@@gossipboynyc2434 Time depends on traffic, but if we're talking miles then yes anywhere in New Jersey is basically in either metro.
im from nyc and just started going to LBI two years ago ! its a great contrast & i love how different it is also no tall buildings
Great video to watch while staying inside in NJ because of coronavirus.
I figured a lot of Jersey folks and New Yorkers will be inside to watch this over the next couple weeks. :)
My city in NJ got infected
@@PeruvianPotato Which city? Be careful out there man, at least it's not as bad as here in Queens

Just to buy a house in Jersey is ridiculous, I’m just waiting for my kids to go to college and leave Jersey.. it won’t be for another 5 years 🥺 but I’m sure as hell looking forward to it lol 🤗
I can guarantee it's more ridiculous how expensive houses are in Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn, long island, and Astoria queens.

I love living in New Jersey, my family is moving to Florida and I’m really gonna miss it. I live very close to NYC and it’s great to be able to go to whenever, but it’s way too hectic in my opinion to actually live in(I couldn’t live in an apartment). Plus jersey food is just unrivaled
Why are you all moving to Florida? That's becoming a crazy busy place as well.
The Italian food in JC is authentic and very, very good. I discovered that a tiny Slice & Coke around the corner from my building had a large Italian menu inside and a tiny patio in back. North of JC center there were some really good Latin restaurants, but they couldn't beat the Italian ones! This was the only thing about JC that I miss as the air was foul and began to seriously affect my health.
@@iammrbeat I'm a Floridan who lives in NY and the economy is booming specifically Orlando. Because people are moving there at such a high rate cost of living is rising fast
@@iammrbeat For young people, lower cost of living. For NJ retirees, it's the weather. You'll see a lot of vehicles in NJ with Florida License plate. Probably from retirees spending the summer in NJ, then move back to FL during winter.
Jared Caflun I live in Westchester county about 20 miles north of Manhattan I’m living in Florida with my parents during the pandemic but I want to go back I love New York City and I love the hustle bustle and craziness that goes with that and I live close enough so I can go whenever I want. I miss New York so much. My job is in New Jersey tho and also my parents live there in Bergen country during the warmer months.
I remember being younger and going to other states, when my Dad got out to pump the gas, it was a truly amazing experience
When I was younger, I remember those road trips some weekends with my granddad always wanting to go far from home especially visiting other states. A sad time once you realize it was time to go back for school in the morning.
I love in North Jersey in Union and Union is amazing!!!!! Plus that is were I now live but I used to live in Newark.
While NY spends more on education than NJ, NJ ranks second best in the country behind Massachusetts. There are many more things to say about NJ, but it is incredibly underrated. I am from Northwest NJ native, so I do have bias.
Actually NJ ranks #1
Suggestions for compared South Africa vs Nigeria Beijing vs Shanghai Mumbai vs Delhi Argentina vs Brazil
Dang, those suggestions are all so good.
Mike Hanson Nigeria? Why, funny you mention it, because I am actually a prince from Nigeria, smuggling vast amounts of moolah out of my home country. I will give you 1 Million dollars, but you’re going to have to send me your credit card number, bank account, and social security number.
J berg vs Cape town ,S>A>
Panama 🇵🇦 vs Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Argentina and brazil are the most interesting
Finally the comparison I’ve been waiting for. I’m a proud citizen of New Jersey
I finally got to it!
Lower Manhattan & Upper Manhattan got they own rivalry. Lower Manhattan is like NYC. upper Manhattan is like the other boroughs.
Very interesting video! I have a suggestion. Maybe Scotland v England?
Great video as always. My only criticism being from Buffalo (and currently living in the Bronx) would have been to hear about cuisine from upstate NY (a la chicken wings, and beef in wick). I only say that because you mentioned hoagies versus subs in Jersey. But still a great video Mr Beat!
Me, a New Yorker, normally: New York sucks, the taxes are awful and the gun control is too tight, CHANGE EVERYTHING Me when a New Jerseyan says their stupid New Jersey opinion: *New York is God's chosen land*
Taxes are high and awful. Gun control is okay. Just have a better tax rate.
@@lucasmossman3820 Don't have a problem with guns. Just the taxes.
I’m from NJ and I found this funny
Ur just jealous ur education sucks ❤
@@annika2963 Tbf the entire public education system sucks
Haven't been to either of them but they both need a lot of help with this virus, New York especially so.
Cmon man, can you not bring the virus into this for 5 minutes, if you wanna talk about it then go to one of the million news outlets spouting bs 24/7, nobody wants to hear that crap here
It's hard to keep the virus under control in NYC where there's 9 million people in only 300 square miles
@@snusemcgoose1001 let me guess, we should stop talking about "politics" on this channel that is 100% devoted to politics lmao
In addition to the population statistics, the numbers of hospitals and doctors are very important. I can't speak for NYC, but Boston is famous for the numbers of hospitals and doctors in the area. Boston has 4 mega-hospitals, not counting independent hospitals, clinics and labs. Compared to parts of the country with many megachurches and few hospitals we should be better off in a pandemic. The number of wealthy communities around both cities means that the tax base is higher. The rich, given a choice, prefer to live near the advantages of the big cities, and would rather pay taxes than get sick and die.
I hope things get better there soon. :/
Wow man such a cool video. Thx
Safer again depends and what part you live in New Jersey, I’m from Newark which is not as safe as the rest of suburban jersey, but other places like west orange ,union and hillside, but other places are very relatively safe , it seems as north jersey is a lot less safer then south jersey...
A result of the Supreme Court case, New York Vs New Jersey, is that on Ellis Island New York has a landlocked enclave surrounded by New Jersey
What the actual f**k
@@sohopedeco that's not all, Liberty Island, despite being in New Jersey's waters is also part of New York state
@@SiVlog1989 There's actually a ongoing dispute over the manmade land in Liberty Island
It's so weird. I will have to do a Supreme Court Briefs on that case.
@@PeruvianPotato I'm surprised and not surprised. Given the situation of Ellis Island, and how (to the best of my knowledge, although I may be wrong) Liberty Island is man-made, if the dispute went to the Supreme Court, New Jersey would have the 1998 decision to back up their claim
I live in Syracuse and even though it's not great here (decaying downtown surrounded by suburbs) I get excited whenever someone mentions Upstate or 'Cuse. Could you do a video comparing upstate vs the NYC metropolitan area?
This is a great series of videos! l wonder if you could do comparisons between cities and States that you already have compared, such as Maryland to Delaware, as l have not seen any video about Maryland, or the State of Michigan, for that matter. How about comparing Finland with Sweden? And Jerusalem with Tel-Aviv (in correct Hebrew, Tel-Aviv must be hyphenated)?
Born & raised in NJ. I really enjoyed this video. One minor nit pick: The northern NJ area closest to NYC (Bergen, Hudson Counties) refers to that particular sandwich you showed as a "hero." While "sub" is understood, that's a hero, as it is in much of NYC. Based on this video, I'll definitely be watching some of your others. Well done!
North Jersey: Taylor Ham South Jersey: Pork Roll Central Jersey: both
This will be the hill North and South New Jerseyans die on.
Which apparently is really tasty I hear?
Jews in New Jersey: Treif
Central jersey: doesn’t exist
New York: WTF is that? Just call it ham.
I want to see you do Colorado compared to Wyoming because they have the exact same shape but have such vast differences in population and culture overall.
one exists and the other doesn't
There is no comparison Denver has best of both worlds mountain access with big city atmosphere
Quietly waiting patiently for that Upstate New York and Downstate New York Compared video.
Can you make a video on: The most liberal rural areas/towns/small cities in America? Is this possible? BTW, good video dude! I know about this because I grew up in the Buffalo area. Lived in South Jersey for 1 year, North Jersey 3 years and NYC for 25 years.
Here are some comparisons you can do next: Sudan vs South Sudan Iowa vs Nebraska Haiti vs Dominican Republic Nepal vs Bhutan Guernsey vs Jersey
Needs to do Washington DC and Baltimore. I'm from DC we can't stand Baltimore
there's a state in South Sudan called "lol" - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lol_State
YAS. I love that list.
As a Nebraskan, I'd say we are pretty much the same in almost everything. Except relevance in presidential elections.... nobody cares about the Nebraskan voters. 😅
Khatim Ahmad Baltimore isn’t considered DMV right?
Being from New York I would put the “upstate” line above Westchester they’re very City oriented compared to everyone
Yes I would say so
Only about two cities Yonkers and my Vernon
nah those suburban kids can stay upstate
Facts, along with nassau county on long island
@@davontesveiws5481 you are wrong, white plains, rye, Peekskill, and New Rochelle are all cities
New York is like the annoying sister who will call the Supreme Court everytime.
Megalopolis sounds like an excellent idea for a video!!!!
I totally haven't been binge watching your videos recently 👀. But seriously your videos are so good! I've been watching the election videos and the comparisons videos. Loving the content!
That's amazing. Thank you so much Elliot. :D
@@iammrbeat you've inspired me to start a series (which I hope to release soon) called Prime Minister Profiles. Its inspired by your election videos and it's based on British prime ministers. Thank you for the inspiration (I will ensure that I credit you)
Shout out to Western NY and lake effect snow, Rochester representing here
Hell yeah brother go bills
I go to law school in Syracuse! I've been meaning to go to Nick Tahou's at some point when this is all over and get a garbage plate.
I live near BUFFALO
Nice! Hopefully spring has arrived to you already.
having grown up in the finger lakes and moved towards the end of my teens, I have to admit, I don't miss that snow a bit. you do, however, have the Great house of guitars. between that and the war memorial(still there, i hope), you guys are alright.
what people think when I say I am from New York: 11:16 Where I am actually from: 9:55
Awesome that you included a bit of Clerks!!!!!! I’m a big Kevin Smith fan ;)
Maryland vs Virginia
One day for sure
@@iammrbeat please do
Good comparison. Spots of all messed up Baltimore you're going to have to deal with
If you gonna do this, you gotta include DC
to someone who has stayed in both many times and traveled through even more, I would pick Maryland. seems much nicer and not so southern. you know what I mean. that "you are from NY, when are you leaving" vibe. Maryland is much friendlier.
I was born in Brooklyn (and still have family all over NYC) and moved to New Jersey when I was 5 years old. I can honestly say without a doubt New Jersey is better than New York. Depending on where you live you have access to almost everything and yet you are far enough from everything. If you want to go to any major cities like, NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, D.C, Wilmington, Hartford or Baltimore they are all within a few hours drive; making perfect day trips since each city has it's own culture and vibe. Speaking about culture New Jersey (for it's size) is probably the most culturally diverse state on the east coast (if not the country). It isn't uncommon to go to a plaza and see Italian, Korean, Jamaican, Mexican, Punjab(Indian) restaurants within walking distance of each other. Jersey has a variety of things that the state of New York (as a whole doesn't have). BTW...just a little note incase you ever do a video on New Jersey...yes unofficially there is a "Central New Jersey area" (Middlesex, Monmouth, and Somerset counties). For some strange reason there is a debate about this but trust me "Central New Jersey " does exist and is a weird hybrid of both the North and South.
I was about to move to New Jersey when I lived in Brooklyn but taxes were too much for us so we moved to Staten Island instead. Although I live 2 minutes away from Goethals bridge. I’m only 16 but I will get my own in in jersey
Skyforce 213 - I used to live in Long Island, but now I live in a VERY small town in Texas. The lack of diversity here is very sad; (I’m 16 also) I wish I could live in a diverse city/state that focuses on education & other vital things. In Texas things like diversity & education are heavily trivialized, so you rarely get get good educational opportunities. (Unless you’re rich ofc and can pay for private school.)
Traitor lmao
Traitor can't say that your forgetting Upstate New York, too bad that people think New York refers to the City than the State can't even belief this.
In the future I would really want to live in either short hills, scotch plains, or warren New Jersey those neighborhoods are amazing!
@Mr. Beat could you also make a video stating what needs to happen after the Electoral College is reformed/abolished ? That part needs to be discussed as well.
I live in Passaic County NJ, I love it. It's cleaner, calmer, and a lot cheaper to live here. Great thing is I can go to NYC anytime I want cuz it's only about a 15 minute drive. What's not to love about that?
I live in Passaic County also. I love it here.
when they forget 80% of your state, and only talk about one city thats not even the capital. :-(
As someone on the Jersey shore, that dividing line between north & south could start an argument, lol
Oh it's totally arbitrary.
Same
Let's not forget there is a Central Jersey.
Love your videos'. Your New York/Jersey accent?...Not so much! LOL Keep em coming!
“Hey kids we’re going to New Orange city for Christmas”, “yay”.
I wouldn’t really say New Jersey is part of the rust belt. Only a few spots in the northwest were focused on coal or steel, and the rest of industry is focused on the massive port and oil tanks.
Ryan Kirk no he has a point at least where I’m from(Trenton) we were really focused on that That’s the reason for one of my cities landmarks called “Trenton Makes The World Takes” bridge. The bridge isn’t any kind of mega project but that is why we got the name
Yup it's more Trenton and Linden / Rahway, and maybe aspects of Newark with old closed manufacturing, the rest, definitely no. NJ has the previous Bell Labs history and War production efforts, the first sugar factories and one of the first Supermarkets with boxed and canned goods in Acme.
Well upstate NY used to be home to long-gone immigrant families who thrived in rust-belt communities. But all of NY is shit at this point.
5:34 - Excuse me, I am a proud resident of CENTRAL Jersey! (Both sub and hoagie are OK)
lol so it DOES exist.
@@iammrbeat Mercer and Monmouth counties split the state. Everything above us is considered like "New York" New Jersey, and everything below is like "Philly" New Jersey. Mercer and Monmouth get the best of both worlds, cause we get New York pizza and Philly cheese steaks and so on. We're also more chill than most New Yorkers or Philadelphians I've met.
We said sub in Queens. I went up to Massachusetts , they said hoagie. 😄
Where?
I have lived in South Jersey my entire life and have always called that sandwich a sub. Everyone l grew up with called it a sub. My son lived in MA for 3 years and I thought a sub there was called a gyro or something like that.
Well this is intriguing!
Good video. I’d like to you make a comparison between California and Florida
Illinois vs Indiana where it’s at yo
I shall compare those two eventually, yes.
Now THAT'S a rivalry
Wait those states are actually real?
Indiana? Where's that?
Indianapolis home to the Indianapolis colts the Indianapolis 500, the pacers has the second most monuments outside of DC , the largest children’s museum in USA and world also top 10 best museums in the World held the 2012 super bowl also Payton Manning and Andrew luck etc. also see lots of New York and Florida plates here practically everyday and many other plates , this state is heavily known for its jobs.. the state of Indiana = Midwest
10:29 Everyone in Oregon: ...
KhAnubis you’re my favorite Deutsch Oregonian
In Brazil, we don't pump the gas ourselves... But then again, we have employees dedicated to packaging your goceries and retrieving your shopping carts in supermarkets...
KhAnubis I believe they changed the law recently so you can pump your own gas in rural counties
They actually changed the law a couple years ago. :)
That is true actually, they did recently tweak the laws, but only in rural areas.
I used to live in New York and moved to New Jersey recently. Iv’e never felt so conflicted.
As someone who grew up in upstate/central New York, it is a great place to grow up if you like history. A lot of history with the Native Americans and the American Revolution.
Wow. I never been so early. Nice to see a video about my home state of nj
Nice. Which part if you don't mind me asking?
Mr. Beat I currently live in Pennsylvania, but I’m originally from central NJ. Yes, it exists. most of my family still lives there.
I'm from Pennsylvania and I love going to New Jersey. And not just the shore too. There are great places all up and down the state! Even the Trenton area is underrated if you stay out of the bad parts. I essentially live in the Trenton area, just across the river in Bucks County.
Hey Mr. Beat! I love your videos and content, and I have a question or two. Firstly, you put Wilson low in regard for his racism all the time, which personally I agree with, but FDR put the entire Japanese ethnicity into internment camps during WWII, and you consistently rank him pretty high. Can you tell us why this is? Love you mr. Beat!!!!!!!
