Bridgeport MSA is like the San Jose MSA of the New York City CSA. Both very specialized metros and overshadowed by their the dominant cities in their respective urban regions (even though city of San Jose is larger than San Francisco, LOL)
Which would you rather reside in, taking account job market, lifestyle, cultural amenities, shopping, entertainment, etc?

LOL!!
Man, you need to make it fair for San Jose's competition, some say it can go toe to toe with London, others say it has the architecture of Paris, and few have cited it has the history of Rome. Oh wait, that was all one San Josian that said all that!
Anyways, I like San Jose more and all, but Bridgeport is a suburb of New York City, and I do like suburbs, so I'm going to have to go with that. San Jose to me, I already have family there so I can see it whenever. If Bridgeport has cool places to live in, then I'm all for it, but I've heard some things about the actual city of Bridgeport being trashy like. Never been so I don't know what to say for it.
San Jose's "scene" is dominated by tech nerds. Everyone knows that. Bridgeport's "scene" is dominated by WASP financiers. They're both overshadowed by the major anchors of their respective CSAs.
Finance is to Bridgeport what tech is to San Jose. Understand? Or should I translate that in Hindi?
I would go insane in SJ. The culture there is so bleh and is kind of lame.
