Commuting to NYC from New Jersey and Connecticut is very common. I know a few people who take 2+ hour early morning rides from the eastern Pennsylvania as well.

In the '70s I knew people who went Allentown Pa (Wescosville Charcoal-Pit Restaurant,actually) to NYC and back on the Bieber Bus 2 h10m everyday.

i have coworkers who drive from NH to boston every day

i own a home in both, lots of people i know do. we go back and forth most weekends

i have a buddy who drives from MA to VT for work everyday.

you frequently cross borders all the time. on some days, many borders.

yes, cops are more likely to pull you over with out of state plates. they still suck.

Still the same, if anything even more use buses to commute to NYC or Philly. Taxes in the Lehigh Valley suburbs are a bit absurd now and pushed me out towards Harrisburg, where its manageable.

I've lived in southeast va and in va outside dc. In the former, it was pretty common for people from north east north carolina to come into VA for work or anytime they wanted to do anything exciting really. That part of nc is kind of rural, with some suburbs and what not, but also kind of a dump. In northern VA, it was even more common for people from maryland to come to VA to work and people from va to go to maryland for the same. You have the metro that will take you around dc and the environs in both states.

All the major cities in the northeast, that is Boston, New York, Philly and DC, draw huge numbers of commuters from multiple states. Those same families, if lucky enough to own a second or vacation home will often do so in nearby vacation spots: ME, NH, VT, RI (Boston) or Jersey Shore (NY and Philly) and MD beaches/shores or NC (DC). And I-95 from Boston to the Carolinas is a major corridor for college students from all the above major metropolitan areas. Sadly flights and rail travel between all these cities is still pretty expensive which sucks someone looking to hop around the northeast quickly.

A friend of mine moved from commuted to Boston from southern Maine - about 1 hour crossing NH on the way. He moved out of MA to avoid all the Big Dig taxes.

Even in the West people from Vancouver WA cross into Portland every day.

Personally, I think it is great that people from California STAY in California.. It is cold here and we get snow, you wouldn’t like it, please don’t come.

I live in the DMV area and I probably cross state lines every day if not every week.

It would be great if we could build a border wall between the US and CA.

IN many spots, I-91 is within just a couple of miles of the Vermont-New Hampshire border. People cross from one state to the other every day.

Are you legal?

Yup. I live in Virginia, and cross into Maryland or DC with little thought to it. Many of my runs go into more than one jurisdiction.

I don't really think about it. The only things I really notice as I cross from one to another are things like the maintenance of the pavement, whether things are plowed/salted, and whether beer/wine is sold in grocery stores.

Every election cycle, I do get bombarded with ads for local elections that are not my local election.

I haven't left Rhode Island in 8 years

You're a liar
