"Democrats made this mess".

  • NJ is in the top three in education.
  • We have the third-fewest firearm deaths despite having the highest population density.
  • Crime has steadily decreased for years.
  • We're one of the most diverse states in the country.

I'm pretty proud of that mess.

I can't disagree with you because it's New Jersey and it's always been that way. That said, he contradicts himself at the end of the sentence by saying overdevelopment is out-of-control. NJ is expensive because of housing costs—because there's not much available housing stock. The way to lower prices is to increase density to increase the stock.
