Is This Possible?

Yes it is. The process will not be easy. There are a host of issues that must be addressed to make this concept feasible. Once a plan has been adopted, we face a daunting political challenge since no action could be contemplated without the approval of the citizens of NYC and New York State. Congressional approval would also be required, and neighboring states would also need to be consulted. But IT IS POSSIBLE if we address the issues and face the challenges. The only certain failure is the failure to take action.
