Candace, you are quite right that it is unacceptable that, as a member of Congress she says these things. But you have to understand that she is elected. The original sin in this situation is the with the electorate. This is a part of the bedrock of our system. Political parties distort this. Don't forget that they are not part of the Constitution. The idea is that each Representative or Senator represents a constituency and speaks for the same.
She speaks for her constituency, and we should recognize that. Any business that locates there or has anything to do with such a constituency is defrauding their shareholders and should be sued.
NYC is a dead issue. There is no reason, in our networked, connected world, to locate in a particular place. Businesses should be looking to disperse their workforces and move to less costly venues. Frankly, the era of the big city in the US should be at an end.
One thing we need to understand is that in the US decisions about political demarcations are purely local. I was born in Washington, DC and grew us there and on the edge. It spans three states/federal districts. In any other country it would be one municipality. In most of the US we have cities and municipal areas. None are politically unified. In other countries, this is not the case. I did a lot of work in Canada. I notice that, over time, they decided to merge the suburbs with the city of Toronto into one political entity. They did this at the provincial level, without any kind of local referendum or consent. In the US this cannot happen. The only issue is that it makes comparisons between US cities and foreign cites, bogus.
