Should Virginia Abolish their Independent Cities?

[Mr. Smith]

I live in one of those "Independent Cities" some of the year, and let me tell you that it would be just excellent to merge back into the county, given that county seems to have its roads in order...while my city doesn't even own their city hall.

On the other hand, Alexandria and Virginia Beach are probably better off alone, and I fear some gerrymandering would happen to punish those "blue dots" (such as W&L, VMI's town of Lexington)

[Mr. Smith]

Oh Canada, where not even the Capital has it's own thing. Every other democracy seems to...but nope not Ottawa.
