No it isn't. There may be some aspects of it that would have good results. But there would also be aspects that would have poor results.

Pretending that larger population centers will make better electoral decisions and that those decisions will not ignore the legitimate needs of more rural areas reeks of unjustified superiority and is unbecoming.

I certainly would deem city like zoning for rural areas to be a nightmare scenario. And that is just one of the MANY MANY policies that would make problems.
