>>1411506also, New Jersey is basically the dictionary example of car-driven mall culture, or strip mall culture. Most of suburban NJ is serviced by absolutely huge strip malls and malls which can line highways for the length of the entire county, lol... This amount of commercial space is spread out to service residential areas pretty generously... the problem is for commerce, the distance and transportation is now an obstacle compared to an actual, compact city (which exists because of the nature of proximity, of course)
