Everyone loves to talk about making decisions more locally, but the truth is that fundamentally, local decisionmaking is no better or worse than national decisionmaking; it's just different, at least overall. In some cases it's better, but you can see that in a case like this, just having coordination forced upon local agencies that otherwise have little incentive to cooperate is actually fantastic.
