Parts of the Catskills and the Poconos are in the NYC area.
The Catskills are about 100 miles away from New York City.
They are definitely not in the New York City Metro area and even classifying them in the New York City area is a big stretch!
The Poconos are a little closer, but aren't those in Pennsylvania? Kind of hard to be in the New York City area when it's in a different state!
Even in Los Angeles, which is much more spread out than New York, the city limits are nowhere near 100 miles out!
Palm Springs, CA is about the same distance as New York City is from the Catskills and Palm Springs not only is nowhere near the Los Angeles area, but in a different county!
Even Riverside, about 55 miles from downtown LA, is not in the city limits or in the same county.

This would be a good point if this thread was about cities. It is about metro areas so one can be in another state and still be in the "New York City area". Do you consider Jersey City which is right across the river to not be in the area since it's not in NY state?
The LA area, although spread out, is not as sprawled as greater NY.
To those arguing about the amount of trees in these areas just take a look at the respective metros on google maps or preferably Google Earth and you'll see that there is no contest.
By the way I voted for metro NY. Whether I'll ever be able to afford to live there (hell, any of these places) is another story.

The states and counties in East are not nearly as big as those in the West.
Pike County, PA (Poconos) and Sullivan County, NY (Catskills) are both part of the NYC Metro area.

Could you post a map showing the metro area of NYC?
I have never heard of a metro area of any city reaching out 100 miles!
