What other word can describe somebody who thinks that?
I hate sand, I hate driving. Lifestyle choices, that's all. I also particularly dislike the abundance of homeless people in California. Who said anything about Philly's river? The Jersey Shore has some of the nicest beaches and most expensive real estate in the whole nation. Hating on Philly is a particularly ignorant activity, no matter who does it. That's a fact.

Goodness and the beach is much better than any riverwalk in any city. I would take Miami or L.A. any day over Philadelphia. Los Angeles is certainly one of the happiest cities. Are we forgetting the film industry, Hollywood, and abundance of amusement parks that cater go to tourists from around the globe?
The L.A. metro gets underrated IMO from an education perspective. UCLA, USC, Cal Tech, UCI, the Claremont Colleges are all very good schools, and highly ranked.
Don't you understand how ridiculous it is to try and prove me wrong using MSA/CSA type boundaries? You are technically correct, but pragmatically you are just an idiot who has no clue and is throwing stats around to see what sticks. They aren't real. They are just a tool for the feds. If you want to believe you are right about how these universities relate to each other and to NYC, there's nothing I can do to stop you. Just know that you are not offering up any kind of fact, just a personal opinion based on data and lines the government drew on a map.
You like playing semantic games, I guess. Yes often facts are wrong, because they are not facts at all, they are just lists and educated guesses and opinions. Even the census itself is not a 'fact', it uses extrapolation to come up with final counts. Not every person is counted. So that's the beginning of questioning 'fact'. The official boundaries of CSA/MSA areas that are next to each other has as more to do with politics and guesswork than any 'fact' as you are defining it.
Here's a fact - the government tells you what speed to drive. Have you ever ignored this 'fact' of the speed limit, knowing that you can handle it?
why are philadelphians under the assumption that the government draws these boundaries for fun with no reasoning behind it.
the lines/boundaries represent pull of influence. these counties are pulled in by the sphere of the anchor city by certain measurements like commuting patterns, which is why they are stuck onto certain metros. new york has more in common with the county that hosts princeton based on commuting patterns, therefore that county is part of new york and NOT philadelphia. philadelphia is economically weak which is why all these counties that are allegedly 'closer' to phiadelphia really aren't.
princeton=nyc. yale=nyc. nothing you can do to change that so get over it dude.

You're pretty dense huh? Boundaries/lines or no boundaries/lines Princeton University is 25 Minutes from Northeast Philadelphia accessible by public transit and competely cohesive throughout. It is a great asset for the Philly area and much more intertwined with the Philly region than NYC.
Your logic is so weak. Princeton assuredly collaborates with Penn. How universities get along and collaborate and relate to each other is different than daytime commuter patterns. Penn is the largest Ivy league school. Of course there is a lot of exchange with Princeton. Yale, too.
You are a little baby, and you want your cookie. I already told you that you can have your cookie. Princeton and Yale are physical in what the U.S. Govt. classifies as the New York metro. Beyond that factual statement, your theories are total bunk.
