Ah, but there is no region. This is, and has always been, the problem. Michigan is a home-rule state, and there are about as many municipalities in the Detroit metro area as there are nations in the United Nations. So the idea that the "region" would agree on anything is about as ludicrous as the idea that the world will agree on anything at the UN.

I agree with the post following this one: a three-county solution is better than a zero-county solution. If the three-county solution takes root, and then in, let's say, 10 or 15 years, the leaders of Macomb County find they are regularly being shut out of new and interesting development, perhaps the scales will fall from their eyes.
