I don't know the purpose of the rest of your post other than pontificating something, but whatever the point was it was lost on me nor worth responding to because it seems like a non sequitur.

But "urbanized" area doesn't change when you move an imaginary city boundary.

So you really believe if my house is in Uni-DeKalb and on the border with Brookhaven, crime will spike if I have it annexed into Brookhaven?

Uh ok, you are still going on that random tangent doesn't make any sense. If you are drawing that conclusion from my statements then we have nothing else to talk about, goodbye...

I think you don't even know what you are talking about. Just trying to somehow inject the fear that if Lavista Hills incorporates or if the rest of Druid Hills annexes into CoA suddenly they will see crime spikes like major urban areas saw in the 80s. But I will let you just drop it and back away if you want, since if anything these new cities and annexations will probably result in better police protection and lower crime.

Deflecting, but still none of your posts about crime and municipal boundaries makes absolutely no sense to me or anyone who is reading it. I'm not even going try to understand that incoherent ramblings about fear, crime, and Atlanta, but whatever you say...

It'd be good to explain why, before people like me vote on the proposal this November.

Tucker and Lavista Hills no longer have a border dispute. The article you posted is about a border dispute between Lavista Hills and Atlanta.

Kind of a ridiculous article.

There is no border dispute. Atlanta's bill didn't pass either house. It didn't even come up for a vote. And as pointed out above, there is no border dispute with Tucker-its been resolved even if neither side is 100% happy.

When you look at the Senate map for LaVista Hills, you can see where areas to the west and south were removed from the House map in order to agree with the TIA map for Atlanta annexation. There's a weird "tail" on the LVH map that first appeared on the Atlanta map as an unincorporated peninsula. So clearly, that was done to match the Atlanta annexation. If there is any remaining overlap, its trivial.

This needs to stop. We can never work together as a region if we keep dividing ourselves.
