Which is the issue with most of the rural areas that want to split off. They won’t be able to generate the revenues to support the infrastructure they do have.

I don’t think it’s so much rural in our case as it is the dominant metro area in the North (NYC) is just massively bigger than the southern metro area (Philly). I don’t know the exact percentages, but I would not be shocked if like 50% to 60% of NJ’s population is clustered around either city.

That said, I’m always shocked at how rural it gets anywhere in NJ once you get out of the population centers.
