I put an offer for a house in Berkeley Heights .. [View all]
I really liked the schools, proximity to nature, train to nyc etc .. and THEN on city data - I realize its a very Republican town .. the Mayor ran unopposed last time - Obama lost to both McCain and Romney ....
I was trying to stay brave by telling myself that NJ republicans aren't as crazy as Texas Republicans ... and I discovered the presence of Bekeley Height Tea Party ...
I am pretty open about my political beliefs - (lawn signs, badges etc) ... Will I be forced to be a closeted Democrat in order to make friends in my new neighborhood - or risk alienating folks there?
