A lot of people seem to have this mindset, but the truth is that Jersey City & Hoboken have much more in common with Manhattan and the Boroughs than they do with the rest of NJ. My commute to midtown is the same length or shorter than many people who live on the island of Manhattan. Downtown and Greenwich village are about a ten-minute ride. 24 hour access via PATH train just 500 feet from my front stoop.
Private garages, while not particularly common in my 'hood, are available if you look around.
One of the things I appreciate the most about living on the western shore of the Hudson (aside of proximity to NYC and availability of garage/workshop space) is that when I want to head out to the country (Western Jersey and Pennsylvania) I don't have to run the gauntlet of Hudson river crossings.
Anyway, I love living in the NYC metro area.
