States and provinces in a country is like an open border apartment.

Imagine one province vote capitalism and another province vote socialism? The capitalistic province will get rich. Then what? People in socialist province will move to capitalistic province. Then? Vote for socialism.

Imagine if Venezuela or Arab saudi is one of US states. You'll have socialism and shariah in your country soon.

What should happen is that voting right and residency right should be more like a property right. It can be bought, sold, inherited, and have market price. Also people don't have that just by being born. They got to buy their share first so not to dilute other shareholders. Any people that want to be parents need to be able to buy citizenship before reproducing.

To keep things democratic we can arrange that each citizen owns at most one citizenship or that 95% of citizenship is owned by citizens in one for each base. The other 5% can be bought and sold freely to add liquidity.

Now, say too many people want to move to the "good" state. Then the residency valuation on that "good" state will go up. This benefits all residence in that state/province equally. Even those who don't like the change will be benefited because they will be rewarded with more money when they move out.

If a state says let's paint all our fence red and that actually attracts a large number of red color lovers, even those who like blue will make more money by simply selling their residency and move somewhere else.

The benefit of this system is plenty.

Because interests of citizens are more properly aligned we will have less chrony capitalism. Currently, governments can artificially inflate drug costs to benefit lobbyists. Now, if a politician do that, the valuation of residency will drops because people do not like to live in states with high drug costs. Before we don't have that signal. We need to wait till next election to see if someone get voted or not. Now we can see it.

Should drug be legal? Any state that ban harmless drug and legalize harmful drug will see residency valuation drop.

Also, it allows for the customized state. Some may like one policy and another like another policy. People can move to states/cities that match their values.
 
A REAL problem with our voting residency laws are that college students are allowed to vote in local elections. In college towns, this allows them to elect idiotic candidates without having to bear the consequences after they graduate and are no longer "residents."

Precisely. States & provinces voting right should be like shares in corporations.

Now those college students can vote in local elections. Once they're out they can sell their voting right. Vote wrong, the valuation drop. Vote right, the valuation went up.

Or they can choose not to vote and don't buy residency. Also I think investor can buy non voting shares too for speculation.
