Is it possible for the california state legislature to create that sort of executive department for the greater bay area to resolve the deadlock? Or is there something constitutional that prevents it?
Good question --I don't know. I think mostly it's people in government, and to some extent, residents, who desire 'local' control over their locales. If we look at NYC, as they grew, they incorporated different areas into the city and eventually grew into the five boroughs there are today. I think something like that might allow better government coordination, better planning for the region.
