I've been saying this should be done. Cities have hijacked all the states at this point. We need to cut them out of our states like a tumor. Let them fair on their own.

I actually think about it in terms of geography. I'm an avid fan of strategy games and city builders and have militaries and architecture that I think will be what America will look like in the future. I'll map it out and post it.

It’s makes perfect sense.

I think the city-state concept would work well. Give each city state (city plus metro area; grouping counties together, say by 10M) one senator and one rep. The traditional states keep their two senators and house reps as the percentage of population. That would gut the city's impact on the rest of the state it formally belonged (dictated) to but still giving some albeit dilluted representation.
