During Obama’s next term he’ll be placing illegal aliens with large extended families in theses houses. Invite the rest of the family up from Guatemala or Mexico.I know one thing, they will take care of all the mowing, trimming and gardening themselves
NY is a totally blue state. It is beset with every blue state rule and tax you can think of. Most of them are voted in by NYC and Long Island, people that have more cash than most because they live near such a major metropolitan area.
People who live upstate get the worst of both worlds. They don’t have the salaries, and they get whammed by all the regulations. From what I’ve seen of upstate (and I’ve seen plenty) much of it is populated by blue collar folks who live in a semi-rural area and yet struggle with the regs that wealthier elitist lib downstaters put on them. Frankly, parts of it seem permanently depressed.
This story does not surprise me at all.
BTW, I am familiar with Goshen. Think artsy hippie, Vermont - CA wannabes. It’s beautiful, but I would never live there.
When I visited several years ago, it was full of hate Bush bumperstickers and I saw a billboard on how Bush was killing Iraqi babies.
Were getting ready to move down south also. House prices and prop taxes were fairly reasonable here until about 10 years ago.
