An issue with this is that the urban environments will have so many more people in them that so many changes pushed through will benefit urban areas at the expense of rural. Australia deals with this on a massive scale since ilke 80% of the entire population lives on the coast (23 million and 10 million live in only 5 cities)

How is that worse than the alternative, with changes pushed through that benefit rural at the expense of the urban?
