Instead of 100,000 districts, I used 200,000 districts but still 100,000 residents per council member.
Warren-Sterling Heights: 2 seats
Novi-Farmington Hills-Southfield: 2 seats
Livonia-Dearborn Heights-Dearborn: 2 seats
Pontiac-Auburn Hills-Rochester Hills-Shelby Township: 2 seats
Troy-Royal Oak-Ferndale-Huntington Woods-Berkley-Birmingham: 2 seats
Roseville-Eastpointe-St. Clair Shores-Harper Woods-Grosse Pointe(s) (all of them): 2 seats
Macomb Township-Clinton Township-Mt. Clemons-Fraser-Harrison Township: 2 seats
And so on... But either way, Detroit would still have the most seats (and also have 3 or 4 districts). I'd imagine this would get pretty complicated and there's probably a better way to organize this would-be metropolitan government.
