Not satire, but the City of London has done something similar for a while. The thought process is you might not "live" there but you use it's infastructure and facilities while at work. Giving the employees of the companies the right to vote within the city.
"City of London" is the really small (like 2 square mile) area in the middle though isn't it? AFAIK barely anyone is resident there so it might make sense if employees got to vote.
It is, not many people live in the area but plenty work and use it's infastructure. Seaford, Delaware (where the new law is proposed) has a listed 7000 residents compared to the City of London's 8500.
'For a while' is really underselling it. They do and can do what they do because they have been doing it since time immemorial or rather for at least 2000 years.
