If you had a load of land and the opportunity to create a new city with it, who would you give votes to? Land owners = shareholders Tax payers = paying customers Residents = users Should it be any different than a corporation? Users can vote with their feet. LO/SH hold the bag.

Really awesome question.

If we frame the question differently it's easier to answer maybe... We need to define all the players more clearly. Seems we are missing a few with just 3.

There probably are more than 3 stakeholders. In a business you might have: * shareholders * founders * board * employees * customers * nearby geos who benefit from employment, license fees, taxes, etc. * nearby geos who worry about environmental and other risks of business

More simple... Owners Managers Customers But this is life, was thinking in pairs... Owner/investor Owner/producer Manager/resident Merchant/consumer Institution/customer City/resident City/owner City/manager City/producer City/merchant City/institution Who has claims?

Lol, been working on this a lot recently. :) Good luck dude.

If the city government is basically a huge homeowners association, it exists to serve the home/land owners. The HOA Board is elected or hired by the owners, Board hires other service providers/operators. Anyone with a claim about anything happening in the HOA zone would go to HOA

That's kinda the question. Stakeholders are real. Not imaginary. In systems, stakeholders defined are served. If we define residents and their basic needs a city obligation, the 11 or so city stakeholders could pay rents if decided

11 city stakeholders Plus rents from residents These now fund periodic capital and operating expense. More rent lines. More heads in beds.
