The opposition of the fact that local government is vastly more corrupt and incompetent than the federal government vs the theory that they are more accountable to voters is not an opposition of facts. You get good government when there is enough of a media market to pay for people to spend all day, every day, tracking government. The USFG has that. Richmond, Hercules, Pinole, El Cerrito, San Pablo and El Sobrante don't.
