It's a little too Megalopolis-y for me. I like space between my urban areas. I don't like clutter. I don't even enjoy looking at maps of that area. The end.
I currently live in NYC and have been up and down the area for the past few years. It's comforting to know that you can just hop on a bus and 2-4 hours later, you are in another great city. It's just difficult to do that anywhere else in the US.

I think that is one of the things I miss about living within that corridor. From New York you can take a day trip to Philly, Boston, Connecticut, Atlantic city and they were all within a 4 hour ride.
I only moved to VA, because my mom lives in VA if it wasn't for that I will definitely would have stayed in NYC. Everything is so great in NYC. There are plenty stuff to do in NYC. I never get bored when I am in NYC. Transportation 24 hours, restaurants open until very late. I love NY because of all these things.
Like others said, I love how you can get to most places within the megalopolis within a day's drive...I live in SW CT and can get to all the major cities in the megalopolis within 5 hours and I-95 allows good access to all these areas.

Hop on a bus in Pittsburgh and you're in DC or Baltimore in 4 hours while it's 7.5 hours from DC to Boston. It's manageable in some areas outside the megalopolis, but clearly there's no place quite like Bos-Wash for urban connectivity.
