The "who own's Princeton?" debate is a perfect example of the fact that the dividing line between NYC area and Philadelphia area is completely arbitrary.
Claiming that a locale in the Philadelphia area is more aligned with New York illustrates this perfectly. And I'm not disputing that Princeton is more "aligned" with NYC. But think about it, how often can you claim this about a place?
Maybe we don't have to choose which metro Princeton gets bucketed into... maybe because we can't... maybe because Jersey is its own thing and also a part of both... and maybe because all three are part of a single whole.
