Philadelphia's lifestyle isn't better than LA or Miami.
Opinion. You're entitled to it. But it's not a fact.

We could have moved anywhere in the country when we left Houston in January. We were seeking a lifestyle that afforded us four seasons, a vibrant downtown, a sophisticated cultural scene and a city we could live in with little to no use of a car. We chose Philly. So I guess, now you've heard of two people choosing Philly over LA and Miami. As you yourself said:

You apply metrics used to distribute highway funds and think they somehow justify placing Yale in NYC. Yale is freakin' 80 miles away from Manhattan. NYC's colleges and universities, for all practical, real-world purposes, do not include Princeton or Yale, just like Brown University is not a part of Boston, even though by your logic it would be. Yale and Princeton happen to be in different states from each other and from NYC itself. Princeton is 40 miles from Philly, 55 miles from Manhattan. Driving times are even more favorable for Princeton-Philly, 49 minutes versus 1 hour, 10 minutes to Manhattan.
I'm so glad you know how to use Google, now learn how to use it responsibly.

Only an idiot who thinks the U.S. Government is the final word on all things 'factual' would come to the conclusions you have. I'm so glad you know how to use Google.
hahahahaha.
*ahem*
So we KNOW FOR A FACT THAT:
Princeton is located in the New York metro
Yale is located in the New York metro
If any Philadelphia homers find the above statements false then please come forth.

Let me guess, you're more knowlegdable and have more authority than the Federal Government of the United States when it comes to districts and boundaries....
right.
YALE AND PRINCETON ARE BOTH PART OF THE NEW YORK CITY METROPOLITAN AREA.
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.

Stop calling him an idiot. Philadelphia does not compare to New York or Chicago as far as education, that is certain.
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?
