Probably a great decision, but why/how can it be decided at a local level by a mayor, instead of a federal level?

I don’t think it would be a federal concern, but a state one.

However, in this case it’s because NYC law is typically allowed under NY state law to be stronger (but not weaker) than any corresponding state law.

why: because the federal level is not doing it

how: by declaring it a law in that area

		And yet an executive action is not a law. It's a dictate. Course, one should never underestimate the value of a benevolent dictator...
