That’s because people from the northeast, not just New York, come here and try to turn it into where they came from. I’m from Boston and I saw the same thing happen to southern New Hampshire. People moved there to get away from high taxes, high cost of living and politics that they don’t like. Nor southern NH is basically northern Massachusetts. It’s happening here as well. The south east corner of Florida has turned into New York City with palm trees.
