Interesting. And thats right, almost forgot that Olympia is not incorporated into the city of Columbia. Stupid annexation laws. It seems so simple yet of course its made 100X harder. Wish they would just do a complete overhaul and just change these laws, surely there would be a benefit to city and county leaders?

I would like nothing better than to see a city/county consolidation. The existing towns and cities in Richland County that are currently incorporated could still remain separate entities.
From what I've read about city/county consolidation, I'd like to see it also. I didn't think it was that popular on here, but glad to see there's one proponent. So you're saying areas like Arcadia Lakes, Forest Acres... etc, could still retain their place name, but politically not be their own city, right? They would be swallowed up in the city-county consolidation.

No, they could remain their own incorporated areas and not be included in the city/county consolidation.
I'd like to see the "townships" around Columbia become borroughs like in NYC. Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island are all part of NYC. Cayce, West Columbia (formerly Brookland), Forest Acres, etc., could play the same roles.

Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx are all counties, though, with towns within them that are all fully incorporated into NYC. The best example here would be Eau Claire, which was a separate city at one time.

I used to think the boundaries of cities in South Carolina could be only in one county until Columbia annexed into Lexington County. I figure there's no law that says towns in Lexington County couldn't become part of Columbia, even though those towns aren't one in the same with a county. I'm just dreaming.

Cayce annexed land in Richland County and Irmo is partly in both counties, too.

I always thought the whole county was consolidated (and thought that in general about all city/county consolidations) but here it just shows that the southwest portion is greyed out/not a part of the consolidation. Interesting. Thanks.
^Probably areas that were already incorporated towns before the consolidation.
