I understand that "owns property here" is a reasonable approximation for "should have a voice in what goes on here" but there are lots of cases where it breaks down. Places that you "have" to travel through, places that you work but don't live, etc. Should a person who owns two houses and splits their time 51/49 REALLY only be allowed to vote about things at one of those houses? I'm strictly speculating; I don't own any properties so it passes me by completely. But it would certainly seem not entirely in line with democracy to do that to people.
