Newark would be a painful commute for anyone wanting to live in the boroughs, LI, or Westchester/CT, i.e. a ton of people.

I do hope NYC deals with its growing pains -- I finally left last year, in part because of rising costs and aggravation.

After a decade in the city, I'll be moving to Westchester at the end of the year. When a "45 minute" subway commute started taking well over an hour and there's no possibility of owning your home, an hour on Metro North started looking a lot more viable.
