    Germany apparently has a system where a large city includes smaller neighboring towns under its umbrella. They are called Ortsteil, and I gather they get their municipal services from the larger town to avoid unnecessary duplication and to ensure that even small villages of hundreds or a few thousand people are well run.

    Now, the U.S. is much more spread out, but maybe something similar could be arranged.

      It would help a little but some areas of the country are just empty. Like Wyoming is about 2/3rds the size of Germany but only has ~600k people in the whole state.
