I think the problem isn't the cities, it is the rural bits in between that won't want to give up their excess power per vote in the current system.

Those are also places where a lot of regressive candidates run unopposed and hold office for decades because they’re the only ones who have an interest in the position. Prime spots for someone with different ideas to throw their hat in the ring.
