TX, FL, NV. Yes, you can escape at least some taxes.
Oh, I agree. I'll qualify my statement by saying there is no escape from high taxes in the NYC metro area. Packing up and leaving for TX, FL, NV, etc... is not an option for those of us that have good jobs here.

I can't talk about your job in particular, but with the internet and associated technologies, a lot of jobs are becoming increasingly mobile. So you can incorporate in a low tax state, and work remotely from there as a contractor. Alternately, big employers can open small affiliates in low cost state, and their employees can work remotely from there.

That sounds great in theory, but that's not the way it works in the majority of the real world. Unless your job is primarily internet-based with little to no need for face to face interaction, your strategy would never work.
I'm very curious to see a show of hands of how many folks on city-data have such a job in that they can live and work in Florida without physically having to be in New York City more than a few days out of the year.

I don't personally, nor do the majority of people I know. That said, I do know more than one person that do in fact have just such jobs, in somewhat varied industries. A by-video university instructor, who formerly taught IRL at a school in Manhattan, but found the video teaching thing to be more lucrative. He still lives in Manhattan with a pad in LI. A programmer type who lives in FL. A voiceover guy for a major network that bounces every few years, TX, CA, Chicago, currently in Brooklyn. I believe these sorts of jobs will increase in the future. FWIW. Oh yeah, a web programmer type that lives in NJ. He has to do more NYC time though, like two days a month. That isn't counting folks like authors, sales/marketing, etc. that have always had it like that.
I'm surprised that no one has brought up how a city outside of NY can win best NY neighborhood. That kinda makes no sense. That's like Greenwich CT winning best NY neighborhood.

Very weird.
Not really. Do you know where Jersey City is located? It's no Greenwich.
I know plenty of people in Jersey City (and other NJ places, Weehawken for instance) that have a faster commute to parts Manhattan than many folks in Brooklyn (and other boroughs). It's not for me, but I certainly understand why they included it.
