Still can't understand why so many metros feel the need for so many municipalities. It's nice to see my hometown doing things reasonably for a change.

In NE IL there are 273 municipalities representing about 8 M residents. Chicago is about a third of that population.

And dividing a metro area into 273 municipalities, each with their own local bureaucracy, doesn't seem crazy to you?
