I mean, I went to high school in Philly and I love Philly desperately. Jokes about the sixth borough aside, I would have been insulted if it had been an avatar of Philly at the final hour! And Jersey City is also called the sixth borough, so I thought it really worked that she stepped up. I was less bothered by the stuff with Staten Island in some ways--yes, her father is emotionally abusive, but on a metaphorical level, that also works as a representation of the ways that white supremacy damages its adherents. And also, there's a lot of commonalities between white people on Staten Island and white people in north/central Jersey/the Shore, and the portrayal of her and her family didn't seem inaccurate to me in that respect.
