Do you consider people living in NYC originally from Nassau and Westchester to be transplants? (New York: legally, stores)

That is true. I can't tell the difference between North Jersey, Hudson Valley, NYC, and Long Island accents (adjusting for ethnic differences).
There isn't any difference people in the NYC trip state just don't wanna admit they have more similarities than differences. I'm a regional transplant from D.C. and you all have New York accents to me whether it's 5 boroughs, Jersey, Long Island, Westchester, or Connecticut.

I met a girl from the DC suburbs and I thought she sounded pretty much the same as me, except for certain words like "coffee".
Within NYC, there is a lot of variation based on ethnic differences.
Nassau buses serve the people of Nassau county. They are not city buses.
Some of them start in Nassau and make stops in Queens along the way. Like the LIRR, people in Queens do use them. They also accept Metrocard like city buses and subways.
Queens East of Jamaica is similar in that you either take the LIRR, or a bus to Jamaica to get to Manhattan
Staten Island might actually be more difficult overall than Nassau County in regards to getting to Manhattan.
People from parts of Nassau take buses to Jamaica to catch the E a d F to work, or take buses to catch the 7 train at Main Street. Or you can take the bus in the Bronx to the 2, 5, or 4 trains.
People in NYC suburbs are not transplants. Lots of people from LI work in the city to the extent suburban communities are dependent on the city itself. Long Islanders, as many of them work at are obviously spending some money in the city if they work here, are a big part of the city’s economy. To call them transplants is plain stupid.
Not are people from Jersey and CT transplants when again many of the work and participate in the city’s economy.
I’m also sure many if not most New Yorkers have friends and family in the suburbs.

Right, I live in Baldwin and work in Springfield Gardens. And as you know I spend a lot of money in NYC eating and drinking on my free time as well.
I take the N4 to the Q3

Baldwin and especially Freeport and Roosevelt might actually be considered urban for US standards. Some posters think that anything less than Manhattan is suburban, but I disagree with that.
A lot of Western Nassau was developed pre-Levittown, so it doesn't have that super suburban planned community vibe.

.
I mean honestly, isn't Baldwin all single-family homes?
Are there even ANY apartment buildings in Baldwin?
