Even though I've been aware of city-data for a long time this is my first time registering.
I know Endicott is a city in kentucky, and I like to drink kentucky bourbon ... so ... uhh ... my bourbon tastes great!
Seriously though. Western NY is not Upstate NY. That's the only point I am trying to make. We respect NYC.

It would be good to split New York State up. I hate having to correct people when I say New York, it's the City, not the State. Let Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey take their pick of it.
Tension between big cities that dominate a state and the rest of that state is NOT a phenomena unique to New York. It happens nationwide: Philly vs the rest of Pennsylvania, Chicago vs downstate Illinois, Atlanta vs the rest of Georgia, St. Louis vs the rest of Missouri, ... and so on and so on. This isn't true with every big city, but its true in a lot of them because of the historical rural/urban divide. Bankers, manufacturers, and ports have way different economic priorities than small town merchants, farmers and rachers. So what plays out isn't "disrespect" between NYC and the rest of the state (including its other cities) but economics. Nothing makes a fight so mean as when a lot of money is at stake.
#1. I like NYC
#2. I am not trying to be arrogant or disrespectful
#3. Everyone outside of NYC is not a teabagger
#3.1. Hardly anyone outside of NYC but inside NY is a teabagger
#3.2. If you want to pass state legislation, don't you think it would be wise not to consider everyone outside of NYC but inside NY a redneck?
Please don't insult my intelligence by denying point #3.2. It's common knowledge for many many many many decades. The "New Amsterdam" crap is quite similar to the rust belt's idea of the "Great Lakes State" crap. If you actually considered yourself a city instead of a state, you might have more sway in the NY State Senate. But you don't. You consider yourself equivalent to God. Thus nothing hardly ever passes the Republican Senate even though 2 or 3 of the most populous CITIES in the STATE of New York make up the most populous areas in the State.
But you don't care about that. You have Wall Street and such so who cares, right? hatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehate
NEWS FLASH, NYC; Republicans in the NY Senate obstruct you, and Liberals outside of NYC but inside NY support them. And Cuomo is 100% aware of it, and you are binding his hands tight.
