I avoid NY state whenever I can.
I would pay money to NOT go there!
And, I will spend next to nothing there when I have to go there; and by this I mean the state. NYNY is to me "off limits".
(It's a "values" thingie).
.
My entire family left there when I was seven. They said it was no place to bring up a girl let alone a family. So dad, mom, uncle, two brothers and me left for Washington state. Never been happier living here.
I used to go to New York City a dozen times a year. When DeBlasio became mayor I decided to not go back. He can have his cesspool.
