The argument can be made that salaries are higher, but they need to be higher in order to survive. As more people move out there is less of a tax base. With less of a tax base the remaining people pay higher taxes and subsequently move away. Starting the cycle all over again, until Long Island becomes a ghost town.
I guess the answer is greed and corruption that has been rampant in New York since way before me. Sorry to leave you holding the bag Avenger. I can tell you if you make it down south either permanently of just passing through look me up we can get out on my boat and talk about Long Island. You will not be alone, there are plenty of us (transplanted Long Islanders) down there.

The transition has started. the "No Regrets" is temporarily residing at Monkey Junction Storage. I retire 2/28/10 on 3/1 I plan on being in town to start projects on the house (floors, painting, well, landscaping etc.) and putting the boat in it's slip at Waterfronte. For the rest of 2010 I will splitting time between Wilmington and Long Island. 1/2/211 the transition is complete when Mary Ann moves down permanently. I am psyched, 48 years in the printing business is long enough.
