If it was in the interest of each municipality to plan together for the area to grow, wouldn't that be a solid outcome much preferred to a state-level where you might be encumbered by a completely different set of interests with no interest in your growth? Townships and other inter-governmental organizations seem to handle this pretty well throughout the United States to reduce overhead and plan.
- closeparen 8y agoA municipality will not participate in “planning together for growth” when it does not want to grow. We have such a regional planning process in the Bay Area; the plans it makes are pure fantasy. You could have 75% support among the 9-county population that commutes to SF for more housing in SF; something like 5% as many voters could defeat them, because only San Francisco residents have a say in San Francisco policymaking.
