Ohio,
I agree with you. But, as you said, it was not because the ground of locality was wrong that the chruch was not blessed from God. It was because people were wrong in practicing that. That's why I do not think the strict one eldership per city is not essential. But the fact is there in the Bible. It is natural that any saint who is really willing to follow the patterns in the Bible just wants to follow the pattern of the ground of locality.
