The boroughs are for new yorkers, yet more ppl live here than any city in jersey. Yet the combined population of the four is almsot as great as your entire state
Queens as the most diverse county in America,maybe the world,it has many great eats.
The same way you cant avoid the bronx, is the same way new yorkers feel bout jersey when trekking it to other states. Theres nothing as bad in the bronx, like that stench we have to go through everytime we ride through jersey to get to the states
And to BP talk to the main JC booster here tommyc about that. Tell him to stop comparing it to brooklyn-park slope, soho, brownstones etc. Stop saying nnj speaks a variation of brooklynese lol. True story.
And LSP is not on the level of the Bronx zoo. The biggest metro zoo in the us,nycs premier world class venue of its kind.
Oh silly, silly KONY. Are you aware of the difference between suburbs and city? NJ = largely suburban. NYC = largely urban. Of course there will be lots of people there. That is NOT the measure of desirability. The one clearcut method of determining desirability of a place is by REAL ESTATE VALUES. IE, if more people are willing to pay a higher price, to live in one place over another.
When using this method, NJ is the clearcut winner, in terms of desirability.
If you can't wrap your head around this (and I'm not holding my breath), then I cannot help you.

The amount of people that live in the boroughs are impressive any way you slice it. And the boroughs have areas in the bronx,queens,brooklyn staten island just as nice as jersey on top of the urban center and grater cultural influence
This is not about desireability. Its about cultural influence

More ranting.
Yeah, you got more people...and yet the only folks that want to visit are the ones that already live there...go figure.
I can't avoid the BX for family reasons, CERTAINLY not entertainment reasons. NYer's aren't going to any other states when they're shopping at our malls.
Yeah, I knew you'd bring up that zoo. And simply state: oh it's bigger than LSP. Your proof? Nothing (as usual)
But yet, I'll provide you a link (which I said I would) saying LSP is one of the most visited parks in the country.
If this argument was a court case, KONY and his borough cronies would lose, because they have not backed up anything with facts. NJ supporters have continuously provided facts, links, etc.
Case closed ... without sufficient evidence, the boroughs lose.
In summary...
NJ versus Long Island
NJ with a landslide victory
NJ versus the Bronx
NJ with the landslide victory
NJ versus the Outer Boroughs
NJ with the victory, due to insufficient factual evidence in support of boroughs
And nah, the motion picture industry started in NJ. I've never seen so many people ignorantly deny something without any type of proof proving other wise.
Not sure if you were attacking me but your statement is wrong. Europeans like Louis Le Prince and Eadweard Muybridge created the first film, several years before Edison started working on it.
"Culturally significant" as I mentioned before is very vauge. But in my opinon NNJ does offer, just as much, if not more than the outer boroughs in terms of desirable areas, nature, museums, restaurants, nightlife etc.

It wasn't towards you, I didn't even know you replied to that.
But I never said NJ was the fist place to create films, I specifically said NJ is the birth place of the motion picture industry, birthplace of motion picture - Google Search
