Exactly.. Now, realize the that the busiest bridge in the world is the George Washington Bridge. For most cases, in order to get out of NYC and onto the "mainland" you're going west, into Jersey.

Who's the one benefiting and dealing with the urban overflow from NYC? Buffalo??

This is for KONY.
Please stop embarrassing the city I grew up in by clearly showing the lack of education you received in it. As a TRUE New Yorker, born and bred in Ozone Park living also in Howard Beach, Far Rockaway, Manhattan and now NJ, please keep your uneducated thoughts in your head and stop misrepresenting MY city. I now live in NJ and am happy to do so, along with THOUSANDS of other true New Yorkers. Stop posing as a 'true' New Yorker, you rub off on me as transplant from elsewhere. I have in the past got into it with people ****ting on NJ while living in NY being from places like Kentucky. Sorry, I don't consider those who move to NYC as 'New Yorkers.' Get off your high horse! And if you are truly from the city, ****ing make us look like we got some kind of education. Please.

Philadelphia is less than 25% New Jersey. The 2010 population of the Philadelphia metropolitan area was 5,965,341, of which 4,008,994 (67%) were in Pennsylvania, and 1,316,762 (22%) were in New Jersey. (The remaining 11% were in Delaware and Maryland.) Furthermore, the Pennsylvania counties grew faster than the New Jersey counties between 2000 and 2010, and have a higher GDP per capita as well.

Actually, 40 minutes west of Philadelphia would be Chester County, which is the richest county in Pennsylvania and one of the richest counties in the United States, measuring by median household income. Shows how much you know.
