Think about the relief and advances in freedom those states could see, without the constant overweening dominance of the Left. They would actually have representation! Imagine a WA State that could seat a state supreme court that had members from all over the state, instead of just a small sliver of the western part of the state. Imagine the strengthened hand of the CA governor not hampered by the nannystate self-interest of SF. All the while, the Governor, etc. of City-State would be taxing their residents to death....causing them to flee outside their borders for relief.

I guess I'm looking at this from a closer-to-the-people perspective. I suppose I should take into account that we've become completely federal-focused. My bad.

If federalism worked as it's supposed to it would be a good idea. Unfortunately, the federal government recognizes no limits to it's powers, no cap to it's desire to redistribute wealth, and has relegated the Bill of Rights to the ash heap. I think NYC should be given to Cuba or Quebec. They have shown time and time again by their overwhelming support of leftist tyrants like Hitlery and upChuckie that don't deserve to be in the USA. I think that most NYC dwellers would be happier in Cuba where they'd have no rights at all.
