One could also push for Clifton Heights, Aldan, Colwyn, and Collingdale to be included due to their urban character and public transit access.

Yes, this is what I was thinking, too. I'd also want to extend the northern boundary to include Melrose Park and Jenkintown. If we're taking a broader view, I'd like to see everything east of 476; south of 276 until Rt 1; south of Rt 1 and also east of 95 above 276. That's all suburban, but still dense, different than suburban areas like Newtown (Bucks), North Wales, Chesterbrook, etc.
