There is an idea here, that say Black cities like Chicongo might find it in their interests to have different laws.

If you manage to get ahold of say 1000 acres, "the laws" you choose to institute as Mayorof Juanville, may result in great economic success, but might result in Chicogoans collapsing horribly.

One can imagine Chicago gun shops agreeing to not sell guns to blacks younger than say 30 years old, or until they've got a Letter of Sanity from a community elder.

It may be that young Blacks in this hypothetical Chicongo would find this "patriarchal fascism" utterly intolerable and collectively pack up their gear and all move to Juanville... for their freedom to buy guns.

I'm looking forward to seeing Juanville in real life :)
