We know.

This story started with a reddit post and ended up on the news.

oh puh-lease. The guy from VA "visited" MA for a MONTH and parked in one of the most crowded neighborhoods for street parking.

Should we perhaps increase the limit for when an out of stater should have to register as a MA resident? Sure.

Is ignorance of the law a defense? Never has been, doubt it should be in this case.

What a terrible headline.

As a retired person, I should not have to worry about an extended visit with family. I still have my home and I plan to return.

Sure, makes sense. Then have your family go through the democratic process and change the law. Other states do WAY more objectionable things and we still visit them.

What's the tl;dr?

Massachusetts demanding visitors to "dual register" their vehicles and get Massachusetts plates when they neither live or work in Massachusetts, only visiting.

I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but very much anti-tourism.

Is it really “tourism” when you’re talking about someone moving here for a month or more?

Be a real shame if someone went and looked at all the vehicles parked at summer homes on the Cape for months at a time.
