 local governments have a more precise and detailed knowledge of the needs of the local
population- making them more readily able to accurately tax the people on the goods and
services it provides to the local population.
 He later describes municipalities within a region as offering varying baskets of goods
(government services) at a variety of prices (tax rates)
 Given that individuals have differing personal valuations on these services and varying
ability to pay the attendant taxes, individuals will move from one local community to
another which maximizes their personal utility
 through the choice process of individuals, jurisdictions and residents will determine
an equilibrium provision of local public goods in accord with the tastes of residents,
thereby sorting the population into optimum communities.
 The model has the benefit of solving two major problems with government provision of
public goods: preference revelation and preference aggregation.
