interstate portals?

The other day, I was having a conversation with the young lady who sits on the other side of my cubicle wall and heard something incredible.
Kat H. (www.kathulka.com) was lamenting about how affordable it is to live in Philly, but how cool it is here in nyc. She said, "I wish there was a portal from Philly to New York".

I wish that too...but that's not possible. Am I wrong?

Also, my other co-worker, Nick B. informed me that portals in new jersey are actually called 'warp zones'. I dont know that because I never go to new jersey before. Ever.
