And where would that be? If you are refering to the Adirondacks that is a state park. Even with that land mass out of the picture you still have most of the state just sitting their collecting dust; so to speak.

Also, unlike a National Park, people can, and some do, build and live in the ADK's.

Nice little crib near Schroon Lake would suit me fine.

Anyplace in NY thats not ghetto is super expensive.

In NY if you have to ask how much it costs you can not afford it.

I would think that is true anywhere. We want to retire to the daks for part of the year and be reverse snowbirds. We'll head north for the summer then come back to virginia for the winter. Or my wifr and I will both be living under the same freeway overpass but on different sides; that way we can't hear each other..

We kinda did some poking around over that way last Month.

Pretty expensive. But so so nice.

Keene was were my wife people are from, to hippie dippie feeling for us.

Warrensburg was about our speed.

Then North River FTW!!! But again, no jobs.

Considering that it is a state park bigger than about 5 national parks combined and there's the Catskills as well in a state that is 30th in land size, I wouldn't underestimate that fact. I wouldn't say that the rest of the state is collecting dust or at least all of it.

According to Wiki it is roughly the same size as Vermont, 45th state by size.

I don't believe the land in the 2 parks is having any influence on what the OP posted. Although I am not knocking those who live and work in NY state you need to accept the fact that NY State is not a destination that people are looking to move to.
