Absolutely for.

I'll use my own city's problem that was decades in the making. We let in a retirement community in the late 80s. It grew and grew until in this one section of area at the butt end of town there were now thousands of these retirees in this gated community. Excess money. Different priorities. And don't give one damn about anyone else in the city or their needs but themselves. Lots of people who are full of themselves on one end of town. They outnumber all the rest of us in the city. But they seemed to make it their mission to screw all the rest of us over. As one of the arrogant bastards flat out put it in an opinion piece in the local paper. "We know what's best." They were that arrogant.
4 of the 5 council seats are them. Every committee in the city is them. Prior to every election they hold their own in their death camp over there to decide amongst themselves who among them they would be installing as they voted as a group.
They embezzled a water bond to pay for a completely unnecessary new police station. Added taxes to pay for an "art district". Chased new businesses away. Closed old ones now that they controlled the business end of the city too. They fucked us all over for decades. More than I can write on here without it become 10x the size this post already is.

Until someone with enough money lawyered up. And they found that by a CA statute. If minorities are being disenfranchised in the city by not having a say on the city council, they the city by law must be districted. And those assholes being like 95% whites and all the rest of town being a pretty good mix of hispanic, black, asian and white.
Well the city got districted. They now have 1 seat out of 5 on the council. All their cronies got removed from all the city committees. They squirmed so bad. "We outnumber the rest of town. We know what's best. It's undemocratic." Well now we're not being screwed over anymore. No new taxes. No higher utility rates. No new codes. All of which didn't effect them or costs they all could easily absorb. So the hell with everyone else.

So. As I'm sure you get because it's as perfect an analogy as I can think of.
CA/NY. They outnumber everyone else. They also don't give a shit about the realities of the lives of anyone else. They should not have the final say on the country overall. They're the retirement community of rich assholes who think they know what's best for everyone.
