Which U. S. city is the closest to a true regional government?
Resources:
A. This video was a synthesis from many sources and a lecture I prepared for an Intro to City Planning course. The largest single source used was Contemporary Urban Planning by John Levy.
Produced by Dave Amos in sunny Sacramento, California.
Edited by Eric Schneider in cloudy Cleveland, Ohio.
The best urban regional government in the US is Honolulu because Hawai'i has no city governments. The county performs all the functions of a city, and Honolulu County covers the entire island of Oahu.
It would be nice for there to be more regionally-integrated tax collection. The way its set up nowwhere people with money move just outside the jurisdiction of a city just to pay lower taxes while depriving urban areas of much-needed financing but still using its roads, etc. is asinine.
