County seats make decisions for cities. State makes decisions for counties. For now at least, I think state is independent to an extent from the center.
Example: Alameda county decides if city of Hayward should build more units than the denizens of Hayward itself. This could be an example of regional governance.
Do we need more decentralization and local governance rather than regional governance?
- duxup 6y agoI think that's a different question compared to just direct voting on issues and representative democracy. Layers of government do have their uses. The local counties in my area make larger transit decisions together via another organization, it's something that would be hard to make if the cities had to get together to make each deal.
