Same reason why children throws tantrums. To seek your attention. Central Jersey has two of NJ's best colleges (Princeton and Rutgers) A great mix of diversity without crazy rachetness. Entertainment, Food, culture, malls, nature, and still have room to spread stretch out. You also get a little bit of both North and South Jersey culture in one spot... when you are complete, there's no sense of jealousy or seek attention for it. We just sit back and be content. Everyone knows who we are even out of staters. We made a name for ourselves and it's CNJ.
