The Coffee House

Hey New Yorkers, for the last few months the State of New York has been advertising on Tv in the LA market, trolling for investors/investments and recently, New York universities are advertising in the LA market.

I was wondering if there are advertisements for other states in New York?

Dunno, but here in GA we see similar ads about the wisdom of doing business in NY State. I've shrugged it off since we're at least on the same coast, same time zone, etc. I agree that LA seems a bit of a stretch. Some marketing guru has apparently looked at the potential from certain large cities - guess it's worth the investment.

I can see why NY state would try to attract businesses. It's not the easiest state to do business in, so they're constantly trying to pull more companies in because lord knows the tax structure isn't doing that on its own.

Edit: NYC is one thing. It's expensive and very competitive, but could be quite lucrative. I think more of the ads are probably aimed at getting more business upstate. It's a whole different story. There are some severely economically-depressed areas upstate, and it can be difficult to attract investment to those parts.

I see a lot of ads for California similar to this one:
Misconceptions - Visit California Commercial | Daily Mail Online

I've also seen ads for Texas, though not as often. As for universities, the biggest sector that's advertising around here are online universities. And the ads are probably going to be coming at us faster after this week's announcement about tuition (officially called the Excelsior Scholarship, btw.)

They run that ad here as well, lol.

Gary can see advertising for a piece of the travel/tourism pie ... but the ads here are targeting investors, companies and the college bound.

We're getting a ton of tourism ads for Utah. Utah is promoting they have five, (count 'em five), National Parks. California has 14 National Parks.

Gary was just wondering if there were similar ads luring investors and students away from the Empire State to the Golden State.

Gary guesses they're running those ads all over the place from Georgia to California to North Korea.

California has the sixth largest economy ... so pulling investors from here makes sense. Students from the west coast like to study on the east coast and vice verse. A few years ago, then Governor Perry of Texas, toured California meeting with companies attempting to get them to move to Texas. (California's GNP is greater than Russia.)

Gary just hasn't seen such wide spectrum Tv advertising aimed at investors/investments/students.

Hmmm, the ads to pull in college students could be interesting. There are residency requirements for the Excelsior Scholarship, not just before applying, but after graduating. You'd have to stay in the state for as many years as you got the scholarship. The maximum time after graduating would be four years, but that's still tax revenue for the state for that whole time (coming early to get residency, four years for a bachelor's, and then four years working). Maybe some people will stay. Maybe more residents will end up with college educations, increasing their earnings and thus increasing the tax revenue for the state. But they'll need jobs, and they'll need them to be IN New York. For that tax revenue to come in, NYS will need to figure out how to provide those jobs.

Oh, it's a tangled web we weave.

Here, the legislature had to get involved with our UC's because they were admitting a ton of "foreign" students for the higher fee's at the expense of native California students. The NY scholarship not only has a residency requirement for receiving the monies, they also have a two year residency requirement post graduation.

@ Jon: Really enjoying your coffee. Gary doesn't know if the difference between your coffee and Gary's coffee is due to your beans (peaberries), the roasting or both. You roast at a higher temp than Gary ... he wonders if that makes a difference. You need to bring your MacGyver Coffee Contraption out here for some proper testing. (Your daughter would love Disneyland. )

The deck of cards sized blister (maybe bigger) on my ankle burst a little while ago. It feels much better but I have to be super careful now to keep it clean.

In other news, we took my daughter to the dentist for the first time today. Most amusing for me is the dichotomy medical professionals. The dentist wants her to only eat 5 times a day (including snacks) because she is worried plaque. The pediatrician expects my daughter to eat when she feels like it, and told us that it's fine if she eats on the run because toddlers don't necessarily have the attention span for a full meal at a time. The pediatrician wins this round, I think.

Dentist correction 101: Follow dentists instructions to the letter. Next take crying, hungry child to dentist's office and sit in the waiting room until next feeding. Finally feed child as the pediatrician and now converted dentist recommends.

Ugh - glad that thing has finally burst - I agree you'll start to feel better. Keep it clean, and it should really heal quickly from here on out.

@Gary: BABY MALLARDS!!

The first dentist visit for both my daughter, the dental assistants were dismayed because they found no plague.

LOL ... there are a number of Mallard 'rafts' waddling in the park and stream/flood control channels.
