Make Jersey City the 6th Borough of New York


Make Jersey City the 6th Borough of New York
The Issue
Attention all New Yorkers (and honorary New Yorkers)! As you may know, there are five official boroughs in New York City, but have you ever stopped to think: why stop at five?
That's right, we're proposing that Jersey City be officially named the sixth borough of New York! Think about it: we already have the best views of Manhattan, share all the same foods, and everyone who lives here commutes to the city daily (It's like a cleaner Brooklyn). Plus, it's already basically a part of New York anyway - who hasn't taken the PATH train over there for a night out?
Sure, some may argue that Jersey City is its own distinct city with its own unique character and identity. But let's be real, what's more New York than claiming something that's not technically yours and making it your own?
We understand that this proposal may be met with some skepticism, but we urge you to consider the benefits. We are even willing to accept a Brooklyn for Jersey City trade! Think of the tourism potential - people love a good borough-hopping adventure.
So, if you're ready to make history and expand the limits of what it means to be a New Yorker, sign this petition and let's make Jersey City the sixth borough of New York! #JerseyCityforBorough6 #JusticeForJerseyCity #JerseyForBrooklynTrade
