It all comes down to a gift shop... A GIFT SHOP.

The problem now is who wants the gift shop. Because if New Jersey claims the shop, then New York must receive funding through intellectual property and ownership of the statue. If New York claims the shop, well the taxes were on New Jersey land. So either way both parties are on the losing side unless the land was technically federal. Then neither can fight for the gift shop.

[@wirwir3124]

Funny thing is: Gift means poison in Germany.

It isn’t a problem because that gift shop sells stuff that is 300% more expensive than what it should be, so both New Yorkers and New Jerseyites? steer clear of it, and let the tourists and immigrants take care of it.
