Very good point.
May I add another suggestion to enforce the article's idea and ideology?
Why do not we create some isolate places to keep people who object to the "cities values and leadership"? We could use these places even to reeducate people from other regions and values... What you think? 
Oh, these spot could be called, let me think.... Culag... It's pretty much a Gulag, very efficient in its goals btw, but with "C" in order to represent this evolved paradigma of values and behaviours found in the cities.
