Florida, under pressure from NY, had to up the vehicle fees and regulations because if you remember back in the day, there was an epidemic of NY'ers using FL addresses to register and insure their vehicles because it was far cheaper than NY. Mostly for the lower insurance costs (which is not the case anymore).

They (NY) needs to do the same for all those PA/MD/IL license plates I am seeing everywhere.
But they may be harder to track for obvious reasons.

Why are you so surprised that out of state plates are prevalent? Wouldn't most alert neighbors report seeing an out of state plate in a driveway/parking lot day in and day out. I mean they call the town for excessive leaf blower usage, this is far more serious...
50% is an exaggeration, but for what you get your money can still go much further in Jersey than Nassau county. For $1 mio, you can get a 3000+ sqft house that is < 10y old with taxes under 20k in a decent town whereas that same house in Nassau would be well north of 1.5 mio.
wtf is mio?
and please cite examples for your claims, and make sure you are comparing apples to apples.
unless your parents are giving you a house, it would be pretty much impossible for any normal kid to save up 20% for a downpayment andbe able to pay over a grand a month in property tax....
Thank you, Robert Moses, for giving us that marvelous entity known as the Public Authority.
LIRR, Metro-North and TBTA all were subsidiary corporations under the Metropolitan Transportation Authority aegis. Hence, by paying 6+ bucks to cross the Throggie, I am subsidizing some hipster's 3-stop ride on the dopey G train, never mind that the thing doesn't in fact go anywhere.
years ago, our AT&T land line phone bill had an "MTA Surcharge". I never figured that one out.

Hello neighbor to the north. I tell people here about LI taxes and the reaction ranges from shock to disbelief. If there's to be a NYC downturn it's over for LI r.e.
And the sun will become a Red Giant in only 7-8 billion years. Start preparing.
That’s the problem - LI won’t collapse today or tomorrow. But how much longer can this be realistically kept up?
I see 10 years no problem.
But as time moves on the population growth on LI doesn’t keep up with the nation as a whole. LI loses representation in Congress. Less federal funding to keep things afloat.
We may all be long dead by then but it’s not unreasonable to think 50 years from now LI turns into more of a backwater when many NYC jobs don’t have to be done in NYC.
