A Central Time Zone Detroit in permanent Daylight Saving Time would have a sunrise of 8:01 AM and sunset of 5:10 PM versus 9:01 AM and 6:10 PM.
New York City, for example, would be 8:21 AM in Eastern Time Zone permanent Daylight Saving. Boston would be 8:13 AM. It's just the states and cities on the western fringes of the time zones which are more affected. You also wonder if more jurisdictions might go to a half-hour time zone like Newfoundland if Daylight Saving Time becomes permanent.
