Cost of living...

That's the trade-off you make when you want to live in a less expensive place to live. The cable & phone companies won't see your town as a priority for upgrades. Proximity to NYC is not the point... $850 a month rent vs $2800 rent for a comparable in NYC (maybe not that drastic a difference..but you get the point).

Hardly less expensive.

You may get -more- for your money in terms of square footage, but Bergen County -- where I live and we have a number of issues related to FIOS deployment and such -- is one of the most expensive areas of the country to live in. Compared to NYC, it may be "cheaper" but it is hardly an inexpensive place to be. We have some of the highest real estate taxes in the county, highest insurance premiums, etc.
