    [¶16] We long have recognized that no community wants to lose a judgeship. See In re Resident Chambers for Dist. Judgeship No. 7, Northwest Judicial Dist. , 2005 ND 221, ¶ 19 , 707 N.W.2d 251 ("While transfer of the chambers can be understandably difficult on the community and the area bar, the individuals who provide judicial services in the district understand the need to allocate the available judicial resources in the most effective and efficient manner."). We as a society also tend to prefer the status quo over a change, and maintaining the status quo would leave resident district court chambers in their current locations.
