The point is that it's a bad precedent to coerce. The whole idea of the federal hammer (all-or-nothing) has betrayed the notions of community and local governance. I see the discussions on Nextdoor.com for my neighborhood, but it's ultimately left up to the Feds to mandate. Why aren't the states doing this? Because they are too afraid of the backlash, while the aloof congresspeople are obviously detached.
