Questions:
- Which one would you rather live in? And why?
I love both, for me it comes down to this:
Would I rather raise my kids somewhere in or between NYC and Philly, or somewhere in or between LA and San Diego?
NYC/Philly wins hands down, as my home is almost exactly equidistant from both.

la/sd is definitely safer. philly, camden, newark, brownsville, irvington. nuff said there. the bronx basically equals south central la these days which is bad but not as bad anymore. ny is more dangerous than sd and philly is more dangerous than la and la and ny aren't too far apart crime wise.
I find it funny that you left out the blighted areas of los angeles. And why did you compare philly to camden and newark, they are nothing alike.

Yep a Cheap Trick.
The counties surrounding and linking NYC+ Philly are a who's who of affluence in America. 1/4 to a 1/3 of all wealthiest counties in america reside in the geographically smallish NYC-Philly metropolis.
It's funny when people talk about Camden as if it's a big city. It's like 10 sq. mi, has what only 70000 people, and it's not even a blip on the radar culturally, socially, or economically. People in Camden County barely even notice it exists, beyond going to see a show at Tweeter Center (well now Susquehanna Bank Center) or going to a Riversharks game.
