> Still, I firmly believe that a democracy works better when there is local control. The problem is when you have large negative global effects that emerge from so-called "local" decisions. A nationwide housing crisis leading to human suffering and political extremism. It's bad for everyone, it's especially bad for the poorest in our society, and it's not local as much as landowners like to tell themselves it is. Local governance is ideal for decisions that are actually local. Like organizing communal rubbish pick-up.
