Maybe? Yes? I'm not opposed to the idea of more, narrower time zones, though I think that in practice anything less than one-hour differences would be more complicated than it's worth.

Chicago has the opposite problem, where it's dark at 4:30pm in the winter.

you want the timezones to be 30 minutes apart? (i assume you aren't proposing 15) that sounds so much worse than the status quo
