Question

If you were an American from New York City, why might you accept building a new national capital in the South rather than in your city, as you had hoped?

Answer 1

New York is already crowded enough as it is plus there already is national capital in New York so it wouldn't really affect them. Building a new national capital will only cause more traffic/ people , which wouldn't be good for New York. That is why you wouldn't really mind and accept it.
