Plus, Calais is from Florida originally, so living in New York is probably a real bummer for him compared to Florida. I'm from Florida and am stuck in Michigan due to life circumstances. There is a huge quality of life factor here. Up north, you experience half the clear sky days as Florida, don't get enough vitamin D, and are generally miserable during the winter months. The taxes and cost of living are also higher. Don't ever move up north, especially under the current management

Your points are valid 

The problem is that he's not signing anywhere long term and he has enough money to have homes in 6 different states and 3 different countries. 

He's stated he wants to sign where he thinks he might make it to the big dance. 
If another team convinces him they are the ones to take him there - he isn't going to care about geography, climate or state income tax.
