Peacefully grant the State of New York to be separated from New York City.

New York City and New York State should be divided into their own States with their own New government. All political power and decision-making for New York State happens in New York City, for the benefit of New York City. The economy and culture of NYC vs. upstate New York are complete opposite. In New York City the top issues are 1) Affordable housing 2)Quality of life issues( traffic, noise,etc.) 3) The environment, In Upstate, the there is one main issue: 1) Economic/ job growth.
We have separate laws already between NYC and New York State and here is just one example: If a person in New York State has a valid Pistol Permit, they do not have a legal right to possess a pistol in New York City. You have to get a New York City Pistol Permit or an endorsement from the City.
