Regions - Feedback

I have zero desire to use the regions because of this storage issue. 

Already I hate the fact that I placed one factory and can now produce silk, which would be fine and well if silk was limited to the region, but now I receive silk as a random prize in my Capital city for opening Neo canisters and I assume will be getting them from popping thought bubbles and I assume that I'll be seeing them now in already over Hamburgered Global market.

I regret unlocking the region. 

EDIT: And now additionally I see I'm required to use these new items to upgrade building in my capital.  Why would you integrate these new items into the established base city? Did some game engineer think it would be a good idea to "encourage" use of the new zones, with what? acceptable losses of people leaving the game for good?

How about a little notice next time, "WARNING: unlocking this region will force you to uses these items in your capital city, but ha ha, you have to make due with your current storage."
