It states that our annexation laws are one of the reasons we aren't Newark or Richmond.

Great article, thanks!

"The idea behind the law as it has evolved is to prevent North Carolina's cities from making the mistakes of the North, where metropolitan areas are often marked by poverty-stricken cities surrounded by affluent suburbs. North Carolina's laws have allowed its cities to bring in new subdivisions, office parks and shopping centers to remain economically vital by expanding their tax bases."

Love it

As a native of the state of South Carolina, I'm glad that North Carolinians are finally acknowledging that South Carolina's annexation laws have produced cities that are far superior to their own.

Clearly, Columbia and Myrtle Beach are models for all North Carolina cities to folllow.

huzzah!
