Where would you live for:

(A) Safety
(B) Historic Beauty
(C) Arts/Culture
(D) Access to Major Amenities (in either Philadelphia or New York proper)
(E) Access to the Airport
(F) Access to Nature (mountains and/or the beach)
(G) Lowest Cost of Living (especially housing)

You don't have to stick to the city proper, but have to live within 5 miles of these cities' downtowns. So you could live Trenton and live in Morrisville, but you can't pick Trenton and live in, say, New Hope.

Wilmington for me. Not that it doesn't have its issues, but there are some really nice parts to it. Just for safety alone, Trenton and Newark get dropped from consideration. And New Brunswick just feels kind of blah to me. Wilmington has more character to it. Fairly close proximity to Philadelphia International Airport is also a plus.

I would live in New Brunswick.
Wait... you're not talking about the Canadian province?

Trenton has looked horrible, whenever I've tried to street view there. Same with Newark, assuming the one in NJ was meant.

For me, it's a coin flip between Wilmington and New Brunswick. I'd probably go with Wilmington, since it's bigger than New Brunswick.

I’m kind of surprised that some other cities weren’t added given this map: https://www.amtrak.com/northeast-regional-train

New Brunswick easily wins. Being a college town that has undergone massive redevelopment does help.

Wilmington is decent and gets a respectable second place.

Why no New England cities in the poll? The Northeast Regional doesn’t stop at NYC.

Yuck not much of a choice...I can't even choose between the lesser of the evils. I'd have to take New Brunswick I guess.
