Yes, so many people aren't aware of this amendment, which changed the way US Senators were chosen. Prior to this change, they were chosen by the state legislators. After, by the people. That may seem like a 'good idea' to some, but think of it this way. Most of the STATE legislatures in our country are republican majority. From that you can extrapolate that right now, we'd have a filibuster proof republican majority in the US senate as well.
But, we also have mega cities now, which tend blue, and they dominate the rest of the state. I think the city clout is the part that has to be corrected. Even in choosing Senators. The big cities will have more state legislators.

You have a point about concentrated populations. I don't know what we do about that.
I contend we do not have blue cities, we have stolen elections.
