Would you prefer the term "Rent Seeking"? i.e. New York is saying: "Go away we don't want you here, but if you are going to come anyway pay up". You aren't paying for a service (like a movie) you are paying to

If that was the goal (was it? I have not seen anyone say something like that) but if it was, then they should share the money too. Manhattan can't take all the money and shift all the expenses to New Jersey.
