F...This is a really interesting take on this issue! For me it raised thoughts of the "state as a testing ground" dynamic, in the state-national context. That doesn't typically get extended to the city-state context in everyday discussion, but your post makes me wonder if maybe we should think about it that way. Shouldn't we let cities test things on a smaller, more on-the-ground scope first before we determine if "what's good for the goose is good for the gander?" I.e., when San Francisco experienced great success with its plastic bag ban, we started adopting that statewide, because it was just a good idea. It's interesting to think about that, and the flip side--states preempting cities from making those decisions, even if its the more efficient and cost-effective way to make those types of changes, just for what may be politicized reasons.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683477132023923670noreply@blogger.com
