Some senior citizens (I mean elderly senior adults, not high school seniors!) live 51% of the calendar year in Florida and 49% of the year in NYState, in order to pay lower Florida taxes and fees. They have an old residence in NY and have purchased a retirement place in Florida.

They come back north every April with nice suntans and Florida license plates on their cars. They go south as the Thanksgiving dinner plates are being cleared from the table.

They are our "snowbirds" and I miss their presence every winter. They add a lot to the community up here, just can't stand the cold on their bones.

Maybe they can get in-state tuition rates for the Elderhostels (on-campus adult education courses) in Florida
