Millennials aren’t Migratory?
A report from New Jersey Policy Perspective says Millennials are not leaving the state at high rates relative to previous generations, and levels have been stable since the 1980s.
“We also found that New Jersey millennials aren’t leaving the state at any more a frequency than millennials in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and those around us,” Cliff Zukin, a professor at Rutgers, said.
Flooding!
Boy there was a lot of water in town the other night! And there are two hurricanes and one tropical storm currently spinning in the Atlantic. So it’s a good time to talk about flooding. The Lobster House in Cape May was flooded Sunday night but opened Monday for lunch. The Army Corps is having a public meeting Wednesday night at the Ventnor Educational Complex, and the big pumps at Melrose and Rhode Island Avenues are working in, allegedly, but there’s some question about how effective they are since the bulkheads are…ineffective apparently.
