Ready for something a little depressing to start your week, Save Jerseyans?
Apparently, New Jersey is a little too expensive (and dangerous) for even refugees fleeing war-torn Syria:

At least seven families, citing the high cost of living, the low quality of housing and concerns about their safety, have left or plan to leave this summer, many of them headed to Michigan.”
