[quote=Anonymous]Arlington is much more suburban than Hoboken. Not even close. I do actually kinda, sorta agree about Arlington being modeled after Queens, if you think in terms of commercial development along the major thoroughfares like Roosevelt Ave, Astoria Blvd, etc. The biggest problem I see with these comparison, is that there are so many variables. A place as close in as Hoboken, won't have the same architecture or vibe as Hoboken. A place as wealthy as New Canaan or Bedford Hills won't have the same walkable village aspects. The closest comparison I have ever heard is that Maplewood/Montclair are like Takoma Park/close in Silver Spring. But, the jersey towns are not as close in as TP/SS, and the entire school situation is different, due to countywide school systems down here. Going up along the Hudson River towns has no equivalent on the Potomac. And nobody down here pays anything like the astronomical property taxes in NY/NJ.[/quote]
