Could devolving the powers of cities like NYC to wards and precincts work, too?

That's kind of the idea. Maybe not all the way down to the precinct level, but definitely within reasonable travel time, and small enough units so that democracy is real.

(Actually, I don't know what constitutes a precinct in NYC. I haven't been there in nearly 40 years and have no desire to go back. If I'm going to travel some place for Culture, I'd rather travel to Kentucky to fire machine guns than travel to NYC to watch a bunch of homos dance in a Broadway show.)

An additional way to increase our judicial capacity is to appoint more judges. It would unclog years of backlog, and give us the privilege of appointing new judges, overwhelming liberal judges with our numbers, and alm simply to keep pace with the population.
