If you take the PATH, you quite literally get to Manhattan faster than probably 90% of Brooklyn and 80% of Queens.

Mileage wise Hudson is obviously closer as well, but being in the PATH nodes is pretty much as good as it gets. You can get to Midtown and Downtown faster than anywhere in Northern Manhattan, The Bronx, most of Queens and pretty much all of Brooklyn.

It's all purely mental and snobbery.

That being said, it would be great to have the Subway extended into Hudson County. It will never happen, but it would definitely be nice. If that happened, the county would double in population in 10 years most likely.
