I hope I can do this without wreaking havoc. Just state what you prefer, why, and move on- don't start belittling a place to satisfy yourself.
Basically, one is a borough of NYC while the other is a 2nd tier urban area of NYC. Both are nearly the same size in land mass and they both have strong Hispanic influences- Which do you prefer?
The Bronx is north of Manhattan.
Hudson County is West of Manhattan
Bronx:
Pop- 1.4 Mill
Land Area- 42 Square Miles
Pop Density- 33,247
Biggest Attractions- Yankee Stadium/Bronx Zoo
Racial Makeup
~~~
Hudson County:
Pop- 600K
Land Area- 47 Sq Miles
Pop Density- 12,807
Biggest Attractions- Ferry's to Ellis/Liberty Island/River walk

The only way the bronx can lose this, and ultimately will lose this is based off stigma alone
The bronx has better public transportation
Which equals better access to the city(other four boroughs)
A much bigger population
Better parks-A beach
The yankees.Bronx Zoo.Ny botanical garden is a more impressive than anything you can throw at the borough
The bronx has had a much bigger impact on general worldwide pop culture through hip hop aswell
The most you can say with Hudson County is that it has more rich affluent neighborhoods. But the bronx can throw riverdale,pelham,City island basically the northern portion of the borough in the equation
The bronx a simple borough of a city has more of an identity than the entire state of new jersey aswell.
*Also to add. How can you use a picture of the statue of liberty for new jersey? The statue of liberty would go to the bronx as it represents ny and is nyc attraction regardless of how good a view hudson county has of it

I'm hoping we can stay civil here.
This is a comparison between Bronx Count and Hudson County (And no, the statue doesn't represent just NYC, let alone the Bronx)- Hudson county offers ferry rides to both Liberty and Ellis islands, and it offers better views- Bronx County doesn't offer any of that, so why would I post the backside of lady liberty taken from JC it to represent "The Bronx? Whether or not the Statue is NYC's property, it's still a tourist attraction in Jersey City (Hudson County).
You posted a picture of the statue of liberty like its associated with hudson county. Does hudson county have nothing better of its own to post. The statue of liberty is a nyc attraction ,a city in which the bronx is in, saying anything else is completely delusional
The statue of liberty is basically telling the state of new jersey to "pardon her back" lol.... come on man. Just goes to show new jersey has no identity whatsoever let alone hudson county

Here we go, the statue of Liberty is in New York Harbor, it is both a NY & NJ attraction and it technically is in Jersey waters. Even if it wasn't I'd still sooner associate it with Hudson County because it's right there, you can't even see it from The Bronx.
However I do half-agree with KONY about The Bronx's "stigma" deterring people but that doesn't automatically mean it's better than Hudson County. I choose Hudson.

I'm only going to say this once.
You can take a ferry ride from Liberty State Park OR Battery Park- Now, are you going to b*tch about JC being closer? Does NYC have a STATE PARK dedicated to the NATIONAL symbol? Are you saying the Statue of Liberty only represents liberty and freedom for NYC? No, it represents the Liberty and Freedom of this COOUNTRY.
Are you expecting NJ to dismiss such a significance so close to home? Before there was a statue on it, IT WAS AN ISLAND IN NEW JERSEY.
But according to your logic, The statue represents "The Bronx" more than "Hudson County"
Are Jersey City residents going to act like they don't have the better views of the statue than the people in NYC?
Are you that close minded to act like the lady liberty doesn't represent America, and that ONLY NYC can appreciate what it represents? Get the hell out of here! You're a part of the stigma you speak of.

Lets step out of the virtual reality of city data and step into the real world. Anybody and everybody on this planet associates The statue of liberty with new york city(the bronx,brooklyn,manhattan,queens,staten island) Not New Jersey.
The statue of liberty is telling the state of new jersey to pardon her back. LMAO what part are you not understanding. People in JC having a better view of her back is not the freaking point. They might have a better view than someone in Times Square or someone in flushing at the end of the day its a nyc staple. To use it against the bronx(nyc) in this thread is blasphemy
New jerseyans need to go to their "Walmarts" and buy some indentity. I heard they sell everything in their. Say what u want about the bronx (poor county,1970s,fort Apache) but atleast we have that. You arguing with me about the Statue of Liberty says everything. The fact that your states two biggest teams dont even carry the state they plays in name. Just puts the stamp on it
