Folks from certain stats can’t keep saying “CITIES not the state”
Those cities do in fact belong to your state whether you want them to or not.
No one makes a distinction between staten island and manhattan when they talk about nyc.
though the 2 couldn’t be more different.
People from those states need to own up to the fact that the cities are INDEED as much a part of that state as anywhere else.
As I understand it, Staten Island and each of the boroughs has its own borough president.
The above article though said “South Los Angeles” - I was unaware that a portion of a city (other than one structured like NYC) could do that.
Although that’s generally a rather poor section of the city, no? Is it not like they have to worry about anyone opening a new drive-through, or restaurant of any kind?
At least Missouri does a better job than most at not letting their cities be the end all.
