The majority of voters in NY are bloodthursty for more government services. If you are a legislator here and wish to cap spending you will be promptly voted back to your farm. So, there doesn't appear to be an answer for NY until it collapses.

Water always takes the easiest path. Us savy NY'ers have learned that if you're buying a big ticket item, have it shipped in and save almost 10%. You can't stop free enterprise. The Soviet Union tried until there were more black market vendors and legit.

If the NY legistature were really concerned about local vendors they can make it easier for them to compete in many ways . . . but they won't.
