re: Does St. George start a pattern?

St. George didn't start anything. It's actually following in the footsteps of other cities. The only difference is BR didn't give a damn about a little small town like Central. But once someone suggested ending the BR gravy train all hell broke loose.
The arguments against St. George were always a complete farce. At one point in history the area that is now the city of Baton Rouge was not an incorporated city. So why shouldn't another unincorporated area be allowed to form their own city?

Correct. The real change here is that St George is comparatively huge and relatively well off already. It’s hard for the parish to ignore that.
Central was a small town when it incorporated. It’s grown a bit in population and economic prosperity since then but EBR didn’t really care about it at the time.
St George will probably grow in the future if they get their own schools. If Central can figure out how to mitigate flood risks, they are going to continue growing too.
