I live in NJ to. I dont think things are as bad as you are making them out to be. For sure deveolpement is distroying the box turtles habatate. But i have see and other people are telling me they still see box turles crossing the roads. I have also come across turtles that were traped by the curb. There are still boxes turtles in NJ but im not sure if in 100 or 200 years there will be many box turtles in NJ To many roads new houses and just to many people. Box turtles were just not made to compeate with us. There are relatively lager wildlife areas in NJ that are protected form developement. If any are to survive it will be in these areas only. For a short peroid of time box turtles could survive in a small area. But for the long time, 1000 or 2000 years they need a large area that has more then just a few box turtles to survive.
