In a society that can self-segregate and where rural/urban divide is seemingly stronger how does one manage the conflict of interests. IMO it'll be a bigger problem to bridge that widening gap for provinces. In many electoral maps, the difference between rural and urban areas is quite stark.
Both the urban and rural residents' grumblings will be harder to placate.

(Though I am not really happy about this of course.)
