Macon and Warner Robins can annex without the hassel of dealing with other state governments they can annex Georgia land not Alabama not South Carolina. They only have to worry about Georgia Laws and mandates

How old are you?

Cities cannot "annex" into neighboring states.

^^^this is too funny for words ! I thought everyone knew that !!

Cities also don't typically 'annex' into neighboring COUNTIES either !!

'Metro governments' also seem to develop from a county-wide structure
as opposed to a single municipal government !!

Well that may be true that cities don't annex into other states but i know cities DO annex into other counties because Macon as annex parts of Jones and W. Robins and Perry has done the same in Peach county. As well as Atlanta which has annex parts of Dekalb.

Atlanta in DeKalb happened many, many years ago - and it would never fly today.

What you are talking about happens, but it is extremely rare.

The Iraq war caused Columbus' population to decline.. but as those troops are pulled out and return as promised by Obama by 2010, then Columbus should see a population spike and coupled with BRAC, may be able to top 200K. Though I think the lable of 2nd largest city really doesn't mean a whole lot.. I mean we are often talking about differences of less than 10K ppl.. I guess it gives one city bragging rights over the other, but beyond that, it really doesn't mean that much.

If your saying that Brac will also affect Fort Gordon if thats the one in Augusta and Robins AFB. War doesn't causes city pop to decline they are still residence of the city even if there here or deployed as long as there address stays the same unless there primary address changes thats the only reason i see deployments affecting pop. deployent meaning they leave and come back not they leave and be gone forever

Thank you Macon and Warner Robins can annex into Peach, Bibb,jones, monroe and Houston counties. What do you mean city's don't annex into counties Warner Robins official city limit starts is in Peach County along the 247 connector not Houston County

this is a hotspot area the area is growing into each other. Warner Robins have annexed into peach county so has perry. Fort Valley has also started growing into Macon County towards marshallville. Marshallville students now attend high school in Fort Valley not Macon County high in Montezuma because its a lot closer. Byron is growing into Houston County. Cities in this area does annex into other counties. I don't know about the rest of the state other than Atlanta when it comes to this issue.
