California and its mess of local/regional/alphabet soup government really isn't a great model. The nine counties that make up the San Francisco Bay Area has over 30 different transit operators that sometimes listen and coordinate with the MTC. California needs a regional level of government akin to provinces in other nations. For example, each of the Bay Area's 4 rail systems act independently and compete for resources. (Ignoring SFMTA and VTA which have light rail lines) This makes planning a mess and has left our transit uncoordinated, barely integrated and often times inconvenient. Bay Area transit is great where it is well funded and well managed, but it sucks once you get outside of where BART and CalTrain run. Los Angeles on the other hand has integrated its transit much better than San Francisco has. Which means that even though LA's good transit is mediocre by comparison, that mediocrity extends a lot farther away from LA than San Francisco's does. In San Francisco, our transit goes from great to crap once you cross a bridge or a group of hills.

Australia is much simplerFederalState/Territory (states have some influence over other territories that they have been assigned to, such as SA has influence over NT)MetropolitainCity Councils (this is the same as cities but it's also a little different, cities have jurisdiction over smaller towns and sometimes seats are given to whatever town will accept it forming a city structure over a great distance rather than having them fight for resources as individuals)Suburbs/towns this is where it get's simpler, city councils rule over the suburbs but they are organised much better than saying 300 miles to the next city where in those 300 miles it's just the same city

So, basically, the constitution prevents the government from making rational nation-wide decisions, and it also prevents states from making rational state-wide decisions. No wonder the country is so F'ed. Everything the government does can be declared unconstitutional by 5 anonymous, unelected people on a court somewhere.

You failed to mentioned the United Nations. Agenda 21 is imposing restrictions in conflict with the US constitution. Just like the British citizens found when they become part of the European Union, they lost freedom and had news laws imposed on them without being allowed to vote on them.

0: 37 the federal government has no respect for the tenth amendment. Their main justification for new federal laws is the international/interstate commerce even if it has little if anything to do with commerce. Granted, it rarely intervenes in city planning.

What are examples of Regional Governments? If you can, please give an example for the Northeast Area, specifically Tri-State Area. Love Your Videos. Right Now doing a binge-watch of them

Hate to nitpick, but your thumbnail shows regional governments being above state governments, while in the video it was the other way around. (Just kidding; I love to nitpick)
