You believe that empowering local communities and governments leads to more effective decision-making and resource allocation tailored to the unique needs of each region.
Regionalism as a political ideology is the advocacy for the decentralization of power, where regions within a nation are given significant autonomous power. It is a political approach that emphasizes the interests of a particular region or group of regions, whether they are defined by geography, ethnicity, culture, or language. Regionalism can be seen as a counterforce to nationalism, as it often arises in response to perceived neglect or disparity in treatment by central governments.

What would you like to improve in public transport if your local community could make the rules?
@9LDWMTSRepublican2mos2MO
I would like to see a more accessible public bus route for suburban areas. Most suburbs lack public transportation of that sort, and it could make living cheaper for those that live in the area.
@9LHYDQ62mos2MO
Including suburban streets would confuse everyone, buses are meant to take you near your destination, not to it, if you want to go to your specific location then just buy a car.
@9LGVG4NIndependent2mos2MO
Roads safer by being less bumpy and raise funds towards bus drivers.
@9LDWKXR2mos2MO
Put cutouts of Brock Johnson on every bus and train.
I don't know because everyone follows what they think is true.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If given the choice, would you vote for a political candidate advocating for regionalism, and what factors would influence your decision?
@9HGMWVBProgressive 6mos6MO
I would not because it has a lot more negative affects than positive and it just doesn’t look right to have a regionalist country
@9HGMLVZ 6mos6MO

How could a regional policy address the specific needs of homeless people or those in temporary housing in your community?
@9KSD3HP3mos3MO
Different regions have different geographical hurdles to overcome, In Colorado, homeless people will need different things than in Miami.
@9KSDGZT3mos3MO
If the people are homeless they can help themselves out and therefore should receive minimal help from the government.
It could better assist those as different areas have different climates and resources.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Do you think a region should have the power to make laws that only apply to its residents?
@9H93BT97mos7MO
No because either the rules apply to anyone or no one.
@9H92W2X7mos7MO
No, you could have a drastic law change just because of area.
@9H93CF37mos7MO
I do believe a region should be able to make laws that only apply to its residence.
@9H93DZD7mos7MO
I think a region should have the power to make laws.

Would you feel more connected to political decisions if they were made closer to home?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What potential benefits or issues do you see in a scenario where your region's taxes are primarily reinvested locally?
@9HPG78B6mos6MO
More to the pockets of politicians than the people they serve.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Can giving more power to local regions strengthen or weaken a country's unity?
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
What are the potential benefits or drawbacks of your region having its own tax system?
@9H4N4JM7mos7MO
Yes because places can have lower taxes in low populated area and below the average salary.
Benefits = less tax for certain terrains like desert, mountain, and forest landscapes but drawbacks making some areas resided for rich and poor = inequality.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
How would you feel if your local community had more control over its schools and hospitals?
@9H9CHJQ7mos7MO
It would likely be a more effective and actually make plans based on the communality's needs. However, it should go through a group more educated on the establishments.
I think they would work more effectively since they would run it based on the communities opinions.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How could local approaches to environmental conservation be more effective than national ones?
@9HT4SG75mos5MO
a region is identified by its natural, adminis- trative or socio-economic boundaries, within which the main rural and land developmental issues are made explicit.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Can you think of a unique environmental aspect of your region that benefits from local knowledge?
@9HT8HRP5mos5MO
Should Quarries be able to dump all landfill in their grounds
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO

In what ways could a stronger sense of regional identity contribute to your community’s well-being?
@9HT4S995mos5MO
Improves Quality of Life
Regionalism offers a coordinated solution that weaves these systems and geographic areas together. This ultimately connects individuals to more housing, transportation and education options, greater job opportunities and improved social centers.
