It should really go to Hudson County. Post 131 quoted a post (too lazy to find"e myself) stating that Hudson County was different from NYC, which i'm not debating but remember that all of the boroughs are different from each other anyways. The Bronx has a much different mindset/lifestyle than Staten Island. Queens and Manhattan are much much different too, so Hudson County's "differences" wouldn't be overly significant. As "Shadow Massa" said, it does match the urban landscape of NYC pretty well also.
Plus, since Manhattan is the "city center", it would make sense if some of the areas MOST DEPENDANT on it were zoned for the same city, it feels by far the most natural to add Hudson County as opposed to more far out suburban areas.
Westchester and Nassau are waaaay to suburban and there's really no point in adding another borough similar in nature to Staten Island. There are some urban pockets of Westchester and even less in Nassau but those are just a few pockets.

maybe because i've lived as many yrs in nyc as i have in jersey, its the closest thing to a borough. especially if you add bergen county like ft lee & cliffside park, palisades park. how is it different from queens?
the ny/nj beef is pure foolishness
westchester aint ****
not a beef from our side of the river. ny'ers just can't handle it when they meet people from jersey who don't bow down to them.
I would certainly add Nassau county. Especially with the various economic, Transportation, and Law Enforcement issues that plaque the county these days!
Imo, Jersey City is already a NYC borough in terms of work and life style. Just about every wall street firm has an office or building in JC. Thousands travel between JC and NYC via PATH train which is like another extension of the subway. If you live in JC, you have easier access to downtown NYC than most people in Brooklyn or Queens. I always joke with people at work that NJ folks usually beat Brooklyn/Queens folks getting into downtown NYC.
