Hot take: this is not necessarily a bad idea, and worth experimenting with. After all, Disneyland is an existing example of such a setup, and it's arguably better governed than other jurisdictions within Florida. And when Ron DeSantis flexed the state government power to transfer decision making from Disney back to the politicians, it was not an improvement.
This is not ENTIRELY the case. These would effectively be sovereign states in all but name. They would have full autonomy and exemption from US law and state law. Further, they would have abilities to set laws in these cities with real, actual criminal penalties, and enforce them via their own monopoly on force.
It only works because it's Disneyland
