   @colo_lee maybe you could read the Wikipedia article and see how different cities do it?

     @evan It's an interesting question to think thru -- lots of complications that weren't obvious to me at first read.

     Of course, I strongly agree that the people who live somewhere should have a voice in how their local government is run.

     And now, how are "residents" defined? Is it based on property? Paying rent? How is this tracked ? Do all residents have to register with the municipality? How does it relate to immigration status? Is there a voting age? Can you be a resident of multiple cities?
