Yes a lot of people you think of as "NYers" are.. not, for tax purposes.

Most famous people you know have enough flexibility that they can be in their West coast / Florida / Mountains / Beach / Westport / Greenwich / Short Hills / etc home 183+ days per year.

> not, for tax purposes.

And, really, general quality of life. When you just want to spend quiet time at home, somewhere outside of the big city is going to provide something more quiet and comfortable. And when you want to do the things that the city uniquely has to offer, you go there while you do those things. NYC, nor anywhere else you might want to be, is certainly not walled off to outsiders. There is no advantage to being there all the time.

Exactly true and happens at all levels.

Sure Mr Tribeca might have had an awesome loft in Tribeca, but he also has like a 100 acre estate on the Hudson. And a place in Montauk. And and and..

Absolutely. I hale from a village of ~1,000 people and I run into celebrities (Hollywood types, professional athletes, tech CEOs, etc.) quite frequently – because that's where they live.
