Former PRNJ resident... You'd be surprised at how much open space there is in the state, especially the further away from EWR and the metro areas around NYC and Philly. The Pine Barrens stretch from almost the middle of the state in Ocean County all the way down to just off the Delaware Bay into Cumberland and Cape May Counties.

This is a very low-density area and I agree with others, the video is a nothing burger.
