[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Yorkers don't spend all their time pissing about whether they live in New Jersey or Westchester or Queens.

There is something deeply toxic about the DMV. It shouldn't be a freaking contest. This is one metropolitan area spread over two states and the District. To pit one section against another is stupid.

That being said, I would never live in Nova because it is a series of traffic islands surrounding hideous new builds and strip malls. [/quote]

What an idiotic post.  People in the Tri-State area are even more competitive about where they live and came up with all sorts of put-downs, such as referring to people who don’t live in Manhattan or Westchester as the “bridge and tunnel crowd.”

That being acknowledged, MoCo hasn’t kept up with NoVa, and it’s dissatisfied residents upset with Elrich who tend to point out the growing disparities the most. [/quote]

Do they, sweetie? Perhaps in your part of Hackensack, but I suspect it's just your own insecurities. Probably why you fit in so well here.

There are certainly some New Yorkers, mostly transplants from places like. .. here... Who think the "right" address is important, whether they think that means being zoned for Rye schools, Bronxville schools, or whether it means living on the Upper West Side vs. Yorkville... But those people don't matter. They don't define the culture. They shuffle between their Goldman offices and their rented Hamptons houses and exist in the same bland stratosphere to which you aspire.

The rest of us call them... "Marks." [/quote]
