Not to be pedantic but the article is about NY state, NJ, CT etc. Many people live in NY state but do not live in NYC. Additionally, as the article explains, some people try to live outside of the state for over half the year in order to avoid paying state taxes. Presumably, there are considerable financial and personal incentives for maintaining some presence in NY state. So, the answer to your question is yes because the people in question are still typically maintaining a residence in a high tax state.
