If we would go by access than of course hoboken would win. Thats not even a reasonable thread. In the spirit of city vs city i thought, as well as other posters, that you were just trying to compare the two city propers. Ny has nothing to do with Hoboken other than being close by. Theres plenty of states and cities thats close to each other in the US.
As far as hoboken having better access than the bronx, i would have to say no. The bronx has more ways to manhattan and better transportation ,be it bus or train, than most US cities. The bronx is also the closest piece of land to Manhattan. You can walk to manhattan from the bronx
And natives of the city really don't pride themselves over how close or far they are to Manhattan. That normally comes from outsiders and transplants
But you didnt really answer the questions, Is it easier to get from Hoboken to Manhattan than some areas of the bronx, and while i agree some (very few do of the total population) can walk accross a bridge, that isnt the point. I am will to bet that some in the Bronx commute to JC, but that again is just for a point.
buckhead has a much bigger skyline and is modern and fancy. but i love the hoboken brownstones and density.
You're right Buckhead is modern and upscale fancy. Hoboken is spruced up working class and denser. But the assertions that there aren't any urban parts of Buckhead are just wrong.

It is MUCH, MUCH easier to get to any part of Manhattan that you'd actually WANT to go to from Hoboken than ANY part of the Bronx. Much easier.
The people I know from the Bronx marvel at how easy it is to get to Manhattan from Hoboken/Jersey City. There is a reason that it costs MUCH more to live in Hoboken/Jersey City than 99.9% of the Bronx.
Also, very few people I know who live in the Bronx take public transportation (or walk, LOL, please) to Manhattan. They almost ALWAYS drive. In Hoboken and Jersey City, if somebody were to suggest DRIVING to Manhattan, they'd be looked at as if they had 3 heads.
KONY, that being said -- there is no reason to bring the Bronx into a discussion about Hoboken and Buckhead.
good pics, My friend lives in a building in Buckhead where the parking lot is in the middlle of the building. You literally drive up to the tenth floor and walk to his aptartment, from the outside the whole perimeter looks all like condos. Was odd and interesting all at the same time. But I could also walk from the Marta to his a place, only a block or two. Plus in the the other part there was pool in the middle. Now that is something I dont see up here, but truly was interesting

Yeah, that reflects a zoning change here. All the new midrise development recently has parking in the center with the residential "wrapped" around the exterior. It's even spreading to some of the closer-in burbs.
Much, much cheaper than underground parking (we sit on solid granite), and it hides all of those unsightly parking decks.

That's really cool!
I would imagine that moving parking into the center part of the building, it would allow more retail/restaurants/bars/etc to be placed in the base of these new high-rises. Have developers been taking advantage of this opportunity?

Absolutely, but there are more vacancies than anyone would like due to the economy.
