Reply to comment by us1087 in Westchester was one vote away from becoming part of NYC and Brooklyn barely made it by Furschitzengiggels
Had Brooklyn voted no the whole consolidation plan would have fallen apart. Joining Manhattan and Brooklyn was the whole point, because they wanted to guarantee remaining the largest city in America, and why the Brooklyn Bridge was built. They probably try again or find some way to join anyway, but yeah.
