Yes, but it’s complicated by the fact that a lot of infrastructure funding is done at the federal level, which should in principle care about people in NY and NJ equally.

We aren’t talking about infrastructure in general though, we are talking about a relatively small area in Manhattan.

At least one of the entry points to that relatively small area is a border crossing between NJ and NY, so I think even if the feds don’t own the infrastructure involved (IDK if they do or not), they at least had to sign off on it.

Just because infrastructure crosses a state boundary, doesn’t mean it requires federal sign off.
