How about they just use IRC and also have email addresses they actually read
I actually not want our politicians to personally read all emails I send to them. There's a ton of emails to read and I would prefer the politicians doing something else than just reading endless emails.
They've got aides for that, and the aides will inform the politician about the relevant content in the emails. And will of course forward individual emails to the politician if they so wish. The important thing is that the emails get read by the politician's office.
Solution, another level of politician, perhaps per street?
Somebody still has to do the city-wide politics. This with per street politicians could work, if they functioned like aides, but... then they would be aides.
Also, if there was one politician representing my street, and he is aligned politically very differently than I am, then I've got zero chances of getting the city to hear me. If I want less houses but much taller, and the representative wants single-family homes, me having an idea of how to make it possible to build one more tall house on my street would just crash into my street-representative's political opinions. Now I can contact a politician that thinks the same was I do about what is good and what is bad. I can write them an email. They won't read it, but someone in their office will, and then it will have an effect on the politician's work. Depends on the politician, of course, but that's something I take into account when choosing whom to vote.
