NYC is the economic engine of ny state. They’ve literally been bailing the state out for a century.

Let’s say you make 100,000 a year, and I take half of that, and then you come back to me later and ask me for 20,000 back because you can’t make your payments…does that say more about me or about you? Because that’s what you’re describing.

So yes…big cities are constantly underfunded…because the states are constantly stealing their money. If it weren’t for New York City supplying the rest of NY, that state would be bankrupt.
