To say nothing of the lack of evidence that bigger amalgamated cities are more efficient in any way.
Also who would own GRT and garbage?
This is why we should gradually move services to the Region, with no particular goal of actual amalgamation. Start with the fire services and the libraries. There might be other services which could usefully be shifted to the Region. Over time, I anticipate the cities and townships becoming less important, and at some point they might fade away entirely, but we don’t need to do it all at once, and it definitely won’t be more efficient to amalgamate everything all at once.
