{{Main|Secession in the United States}}
Various proposals have been made for [[New York City]] to [[New York City secession|secede]] from [[New York State]]. On a lower level, some states permit or have permitted a city to secede from its [[county (United States)|county]] and become a [[county-equivalent]] jurisdiction in its own right.  Whether the new county-equivalent jurisdiction is considered to be a [[consolidated city-county]] like [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]] or [[San Francisco|San Francisco, California]] or an [[Independent city (United States)|independent city]] like [[St. Louis, Missouri]] is a matter for each such state to decide. In November 2018, the [[Georgia General Assembly]] allowed voters in a wealthy enclave of [[Stockbridge, Georgia]] to decide if they wanted to secede, which they then declined to do.<ref>{{Bluebook journal |first=|last=Note| title=Recent Legislation: Georgia Authorizes the Creation of the City of Eagle’s Landing| volume=132 | journal=[[Harvard Law Review|Harv.
