born and raised in Queens and yes I understand the difference between upstate NY and the city.

I don’t know exactly how this would work and certainly no one on either side would be forced to stay or leave their state but I think it’s food for thought and perhaps long after I’m dead and gone it might end up being the only workable solution.
