Do you consider people living in NYC originally from Nassau and Westchester to be transplants? (Valley Stream: transfer, moving)

Yes, local suburbanites are still transplants. They grew up in a very different environment then those in the boros.

It has more to do with access to NYC public transportation, and access to Manhattan at a young age. I've been biking and taking the subway into Manhattan for as long as I can remember.

They are, but not as bad as people moving here from the Midwest, etc.
