Bronx is NYC, "Upstate" isn't...
Come to Jersey -- best of both worlds. A little cheaper to live, cheaper gas, yet you're still close enough to visit
upstate is not that bad... lol, its a nice relaxing area, if only it had some viable industries to retain people...
Maybe I will come to Jersey, I hear its a great place to buy a house and you can easily commute into NYC if needed. I particularly enjoy Hoboken and Princeton. Havent really been to other parts of the state.
