When NYC-Philly do merge Im going to request to the BEA that there be a special exemption that Philly gets naming rights. The Philadelphia-NYC CMSA seeing how Philadelphia is the original city and all, the cradle of our nation,all roads led from Philadlephia.
Technically one could argue that the entire country is a suburb of Philadlephia.
The Philadelphia-NYC area. It has a nice ring to it, does it not?
Here, let's just join all the bunches of lights together, it will be more constructive. Anyways, in terms of street talk, no one cares about CSA/MSA's outside of CD
Im ok with a NY-Philly CSMA but NY,NNJ, and CT please stay out of our pleasant South Jersey beaches like Cape May,Wildwood Crest,Stone Harbor,Avalon and Sea Isle. No more Snookies or J Wow South of Atlantic City. Thank you for your cooperation regarding this matter.
AGREEE, I'm currently PRAYING TO GOD that we don't see any "orange people" "South of the Border" this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most people won't agree with my following point: I think when it comes to equating distance between NYC and Philadelphia, it's best to associate Staten Island with suburban NYC, just as you would any county in Northern New Jersey, even if Staten Island is technically New York City. The only difference between Middlesex County NJ and Staten Island is that you can pump your own gas and buy beer in a 7-eleven in Staten Island. The psychology of the Outerbridge Crossing and the Goethals Bridge lend a quality of isolation to Staten Island, but really should be part of New Jersey. It's zoned much more like suburban NJ than NYC. In contrast, Hudson County NJ is more like Manhattan. I think the poster PBergen came closest to explaining this, when it comes to reaching central business districts between the two cities. Similarly, even though NE Philly runs up to Woodhaven Blvd, if you've driven through that neighborhood, it feels more like Bensalem, the last suburb before Philly. I tend to think of Philly beginning in earnest after the Cottman Road exit, about 5 miles south on I-95.
I generally agree with this, especially the Staten Island part.
