What happens when the business govt wants low corp tax, and the residents govt wants high corp tax to fund programs? What happens when they disagree over zoning, ie which side gets to build somewhere?

I don't think you can segment that way.

One related idea that might work a little better (I think it comes from libertarian circles, can't remember exactly where) is representation by profession. So eg x% of the legislature is elected by residents, and other percentages by other groups like business people.

Representation by industry has worked really poorly for Hong Kong, its a key part of why they have the majority of thr population protesting and demanding real democracy, not the corporate controlled legislature that currently presides over HK.

Thank you for letting me know, I didn't realize it had actually been tried. It appears to have also gone poorly in Taiwan. I absolutely didn't intent to say it was a good idea, merely that it was a similar idea to the parent's that might work a little better.
