A Better Represented CincinnatiIt's become quite clear the City of Cincinnati cannot rule itself and needs the leadership of the surrounding communities. These leaders refuse annexation so we need to come up with a better representational criteria than residency.
Home ownership in Cincinnati is about 40%. I don't know what the city real estate holdings by non residents are. Land ownership is an old criteria for voting rights. I guess we'd need some minimum amount of land to qualify a voter. People who couldn't afford that could possibly organize corporations that they could collectively vote. Presumably we could eliminate the lazy socialist renters (including transient college students) in the bargain, too.
This criteria was abandoned long ago because it excluded wealthy, educated people who opted to not participate in agricultural work.
Perhaps a minimum earnings? Average earnings of Cincinnati residents is a little over $30K. What the average wage in Cincinnati is, I do not know. As everything in the suburbs is a virtual paradise, I imagine these people who want a say in Cincinnati all make $100+K, so if we set the minimum wage qualifier at earning more than $50K inside the city limits, the people who want to rule the city but not live there could have their vote & the lowly, probably renting, Cincinnatians could be relieved of their disastrous voting legacy.
Or maybe it should just be where you went to high school. People who graduated from a Cincinnati high school prior to 1990 could vote in any & all Cincinnati elections. They could just use their old residences to define their precincts.
Cincinnati is a failed experiment in radical Marxism and is in sore need of some good old Christianistic, neo-Trotskyism.
