The problem is that hardly anyone is paying so much tax that it would be worth it to do this. any city worth living in is going to have government of its own, and some people living under that government's administration are going to end up feeling disenfranchised by it.

Precisely the point of the detached nature of the planned houses. If there are thousands of different (yet most likely similar) governmental systems in place, then there are two options in this situation:
1. Up and leave, travel to a new city which fits better with your current modality.
2. If a large swath of the population is disenfranchised the government must act swiftly in order to keep the city running, otherwise its state will fail and everyone will detach and live elsewhere.
We will no doubt see many more failed systems than long-standing ones, which is essentially part of the appeal in my opinion.
