Why do you value state rule and centralized control? If you think states should have freedom from the larger controlling state, how can you argue that cities should be under the thumb of states?
It is cities that are the true loci of economic and human activity in general, ever since we flipped from most people farming to something like 2%. When people move about, they think more in terms of cities they are moving to than states, provinces, or country.
When will large cities secede?

I don't. I'm an anarchist.

I never have and never will argue that.
City-state independence movements are also interesting. The US doesn't have a good mechanism for changing its internal borders, but I think it would help if large metro areas could easily incorporate into independent states.
