Reply to comment by Brudesandwich in JC or Brooklyn? by Amsterdaamed

JC literally only trails NYC and San Francisco in terms of density per square mile. Its just weir to hear people say JC isnt crowded.

And people keep trying to say that JC is the suburbs yet is more "city" than majority of the US.

Yup in fact, for cities in the top 100 biggest cities the ranking is: 1) NYC; 2) JC; and like 5 or 6) is Newark.

If you include cities of over 100k Paterson moves into second place. Our state's cities are cities and its crazy that people say they aren't just because they aren't the core of the region (even if the official name of the NY metro area is the NY-Newark-JC metro region meaning if you live in those three you don't live in the burbs and in fact are living in the city)... but oh well, guess you can only claim to be an urban resident if you live in one of the 5 boroughs (even though Staten Island is just northern Bergen County if they happened to be on an island)
