I don't think that's really an issue.  In my experience the North Arlington lovers aren't trying to convince other people that it's a great place to live, they're simply expressing their own happiness at having found a place that offers such a unique combination of close-in, great schools, great shops/restaurants (often walkable), and insanely family-friendly.  There are drawbacks of course, such as expensive housing, small lots, and school overcrowding, but many people feel the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.  This can of course grate on other people after a while, but you're wrong if you think all the North Arlington talk is  done in an effort to impress you or anyone else.     [/quote]

It's no more or less "unique" than other areas - just a different mix of the many factors that people all over the region weigh in deciding where to live.  Of course people who decide to live there should feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.[/quote]

Not PP but I actually think it is pretty unique. That's why people pay so much for small houses on small lots. But you're missing my point. Whether or not North Arlington is a great place to live, you can't argue with the fact that it's very popular.  And i can promise you that the stories PPs posted about the culture here are I think the PPs' stories about the parent culture here are either way overblown or random outliers.  And I suspect these supposed "rumors" are based more on people being sick of hearing about N. Arlington rather than actual fact. [/quote]
