What if State boundaries were redrawn so that each State had the same population?

[HereSince1628]

39. at a national level the south and texas pick up Wyomings diminished representation.

but it's not just about senators...it's also about what that does to the economic base of the states and what it does to the political basis of the states.

I can't see major cities working as states, mostly because suburban and rural citizens already resist state spending in major cities.

The concentration of avenues of transportion all pass through cities which couldn't afford to maintain them.

In a place like Milwaukee as much traffic goes through the city as goes into the city. In any case, most of that traffic going in and out or going through doesn't buy gas, oil, tires in the city and so wouldn't contribute tax dollars for road maintenance.

On a political level, because Democrats are concentrated in urban areas the states would be even more partisan and they'd have mechanisms that would complicate anything like cooperation on 'what's best for everyone' because everyone would no longer mean anything like everyone.

Under this map I see cities going the way of Detroit.
