Oh no, I didn’t mean to suggest Lehigh and Lancaster counties belong in Gretaer Philadelphia. I was using those counties to illustrate the problematic Southern Jersey counties. When I lived in Philly, those Jersey counties were part of “my” greater Philadelphia. Now that I’m n Montgomery County, they’re no longer on my radar . . .I’d be just as likely to travel to Lancaster or Lehigh (although Southern Jersey has the better restaurants 
I guess that’s a problem inherent with regional boards. Much of S. Jersey can be considered part of metro Philly while much of N. Jersey can be considered part of metro NYC. (Where is that invisible interstate line when you leave Eagles territory and enter Giants territory?) And I’m sure NJ residents would prefer their own “board.”
And is northern Delaware part of metro Philly, while southern Delaware belongs to MD or Baltimore? Sigh . . .regions are so relative.
