Your description of Bean Town sounds like Pittsburgh. A small city surrounded by a bunch of small towns & municipalities - each their own little fiefdom hanging on to their own little power base.

IMO, not only bad for wireless coverage to implement, but bad for any economic growth due to each fiefdom having their own agendas (read corruption, etc.) & regulations making it extremely difficult for any company to locate regionally &/or expand in the geographic area.

Another drawback is that the extremely excessive duplication of unnecessary public offices/services/administrative positions. How many mayors are needed to serve a region? How many police chiefs? How many school districts & school Superintendents? How many heads of Road maintenance? How many duplicative city & county governments overlap numerous duties/services? How many administrative positions to serve all these unnecessary duplicative departments serving small communities in a large overall urban environment? .... etc., etc., etc. This is compounded by the overlapping of services & the absolute waste of tax dollars that return absolutely nothing to the taxpayers.

In the end, all of this ends up hurting economic growth. Why locate or expand a business in an area that is over taxed & where regulations that can impact your business can drastically differ every couple of miles?

oof :-| I rant
