Okay. That isn't a "special powers for NYC" clause, that's a generic "home rule is not absolute" clause. Nobody has said or implied otherwise; the operative question was whether NYC is any different from other municipalities in terms of limits on the scope of its home rule.

(If anything, NYC is afforded an unusual degree of home rule relative to other municipalities in NY, as evidenced by the fact that it's really 5 counties in a trenchcoat.)
