The Sustainable Freedom Lab has prepared this excellent document that should be downloaded and shared by all.
It is called “Inside the World of Planning” and it addresses the problems of regionalism.
Some of the covered topics are…
No oversight of unelected regional boards
Undersampled surveys used to misprepresent goals of the community
Unethical methods used to sell plans to town and city boards
False data use to show benefits of regionalism where none resulted
Corruption and cronyism
