Metro w/ highest density of the "Creative Class" -- Trenton, NJ

This one small city has a lot going for it:

• 50-60 miles from both New York and Philadelphia
• Extremely frequent train service via Amtrak, NJ Transit, Septa
• A non-cyclical base economy from NJ government

And now, supposedly it's the center of the most creative American metro area:

Yet, the city itself has the reputation of a total crap hole.  With all these assets, this city should be a booming example of small-city living. Maybe it's as simple as not blockading its train station from its downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods?
