Okay, so it's expensive to live in NYC, we've got that part down, but have you realized that many people who work in NYC are taking their hard earned cash outside of this very expensive city. Yes, people have been living in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Up-State New York forever, but have you heard of people moving to Philadelphia!? Philadelphia is becoming the new hot-spot! There is even talk that one day Philadelphia may become NYC's sixth borough! Already, Bucks county, which is in PA was once a suburb of Philly, and it still is, but it is also considered a suburb of NYC! How is that even possible, it is pretty crazy to think that a county in PA could qualify as a suburb of NYC! It is mind boggling to me.
So you see, changes have already began and the real estate market in Philly is going crazy. Everywhere you look they are building beautiful fancy new buildings. They are expensive, but not nearly as expensive as NYC prices. More and more people are taking their money to smaller cities like Philly because you can get so much more for your money! And why not, it is a longer commute, but everything is cheaper! From housing to food shopping. It might just be worth the trip. There is even talk that in the future their might be new trains that can get you from Philly to NYC in 45 minutes. Now, this is all talk and speculation, but it all seems very possible. Can you image? I think this concept is so interesting, it seems that NYC just keeps getting bigger and bigger! I just hope that the Philly prices stay where they are.

That's really funny and scary about Philly! Urgh..just think of all that traffic getting into Manhattan everyday though...ek!
I know, with all of this constant boom going on in Philly, you can only imagine the traffic getting much worse, but the good thing is, I think most of the people who commute from Philly take the train, so at least they're not adding too many cars to the roads!!
I definitely believe it about Philly. They city is just too expensive and people need affordable places to live. I wouldn't want to commute all the way from Philly because it would be exhausting. If they could have trains that only took 45 minutes to get to Manhattan then I think a lot of people would be movng to Philly. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Yes, time will only tell. It is such an interesting concept to connect Philly even more to NYC, but cheaper housing, food, and other items might make a 45 minute train commute worth it! I am interested to see how it unfolds!
