I think Tony Soprano and Johnny Sack still have some unleased space on the waterfront esplanade.

There are a lot of N pilots that commute from the east coast that I would expect to jump on vacancies in the future with any NYC expansion...

Ah Jersey huh? or the left cheek as I like to call it?

You can find cheap, but it probably won't be a nice or even decent of a town. Jersey is generally expensive and taxes are just shy of political extortion, however their are a lot of nice areas and the further west or south you venture the better the prices tend to get. Best thing to do is drive around and check out listing in the area if you seriously want to move, also consider renting in the short term to see how well you acclimate to certain parts of the state. (Renter's Paradise these days, you should be able to find a steal.)
Best Luck.

The company posts what they expect each coming month as far as ALV and number of lines. Of course this does vary (pilots bidding Max/Min, vacation, training, etc). In my category NYC MD88B, you can subtract 4-5 lines of what is published and it is very accurate.

I know that, but the fact that the ALV jumps around so much makes it impossible for you to bid into a category and know if you will hold a block schedule or reserve unless you are at least above 55%. Most places, and I think NWA was this way, have the same number of lines every month. Lets say they determine that they will need a minimum of 68 lines every month. That is what they will have. If they end up with extra "open time" after they build those 68 lines because of the way people bid or the ALV changes, then they will put it into open time for line holders to swap with. The way we have it, you get all the time built into lines and end up with about 4 crappy trips left in open time so you cannot change anything on your schedule. I realize this may mean a few more guys get reserve, but it would also mean you will know month to month if you will get a line or not. I've lived under both type systems and far prefer the one where you kinda know what to expect instead of getting surprised every month.

Its gotta be cheap-er. Can't be any more expensive as I sit here upside down on my house and trying to figure a way to pay my property taxes (just shy of political extortion).
