Don't forget that NY is a city that doesn't produce anything, no factories of not, no oil, no agricultural development, all it produces is service and host financial systems and company offices.
It's easy to move a company office, not to easy to move services but doable, and people moving out can increase, which decreases the tax base which increases problems.
Many companies have office buildings in "nice places" simply because of status and that they believe that "no one would do business with us if we didn't have this address".
Perhaps this was more true in the past, but I think that it's a holdover from a time where communication couldn't be done efficiently unless everyone was face to face.
that's a positive, there's no reason for NYC to exist in the state that it does. it's a relic of a time before telecoms. the vast majority of the city should be leveled, the roads expanded and the density lowered.

Give it a few. All we need now is a oceanic subsurface nuke to be detonated offshore of NYC. The radioactive tidal wave will clean out the rest of the city and make it uninhabitable for the next few hundred years. Everything will be leveled, we don't need to waste any more cash on roads and the density will be permanently lowered.
NY mayors talk like this because Albany doesn't give a shit about them. So he knows his rhetoric is safe because it can't possibly go anywhere significant.
You need to remember that hive city NYC has something on the order of 11 or 12 million residents, while the state has an estimated twenty million. I know that the "official" figures say that the hive has somethingile 8.8 million, but we both know that's not counting illegals and foreigners who aren't reported on the census; the logistics of consumed basics like toilet paper suggest the number is underreported by a quarter.
Even going by official figures, if almost half of the entire voting base of a state live in the hive city, it had an obscenely disproportional effect on everything that happens in it.
So I don't think it's wise to say that NY mayors have no sway.
I think they all view NYC as a separate animal than NYS, eh? Albany does what it wants and NYC does what IT wants & rarely do the two even talk about it.
Like Illinois...

So much of that work can be automated or done remotely. So many companies are a giant bureaucracy and one guy making the actual product.

Buzzfeed felt that way. A lot of people in Silicon Valley or Boise feel this way.

Houses with yards in Manhattan when?
NYC holds 0.5% of NY area.
