Tiebout argues that a consumer voter will choose a community to live in that satisfies their preference for public goods, and their choice to stay or leave will articulate their demand for a public good. This model has its limitations, namely its inability to be extrapolated to the federal level and the inability of low-income people to articulate interest and satisfaction. However, this has been shown to play out at the local level, as the article referring to Montgomery County shows. Those who work in Montgomery County would ideally like to live there, but due to higher utility costs, they have chosen to live in neighboring counties that they believe likely offer a preferable utility cost for similar services . The same ideas from consumer voters are found in articles referring to age-restricted 55+ communities. Adults who have chosen to settle in these communities prefer public services of their own rather than the higher costs of community services that they do not use. All articles illustrate the need for state and local governments to provide public services and the tension between high spending and the need to act autonomously or collectively.
