Again. St. George is still pushing the agenda. How do you explain that? And how do you reconcile it with the city grabbing revenue centers and leaving the residents behind?

I told you we don't want the poors. They screw everything up. We like the businesses that pay taxes instead of us paying taxes to lazy poors.

A particular 70808 councilman certainly applied pressure. "If you do not apply for annexation you are against the city." Plain and simple, it would have been an all out PR war. Privately most of these entities (sans celtic centre) would have rather been a part of SG - lower taxes, less bureaucracy. None of them wanted to try the mayor's office and city council - it was the safe move, at least in the short term.
When SG becomes a city it will have the opportunity to compete against the very entities that requested annexation. When that happens, game over. The money is already in SG right now, but when the new schools come on board an exodus of the BR residents will leave for SG. SG will become the most diverse (70/30 60/40 for SG vs 10/90 for BR) and economically powerful city in the parish. Land value will skyrocket.
Yes these are the fears of the opponents of SG, and regardless of acquiring a 20 year old plus mall and a casino, nothing will stop the exodus once the new city comes online.
Best of luck to you!

No offense...but you sound like you are 17. If you would like to discuss this like an adult...I'm all ears.

There's nothing to discuss. The OP started an idiotic thread. St . George is DOA. More annexations to come.

I am the OP. Your reading comprehension skills and allegiance to the city that helped produce them are not surprising.
If the thread was so idiotic you didn't have to open it. But since you did, you still haven't answered the question.

No. I never claimed that to be near the case.
I guess my question should have been "Why hasn't the City of Baton Rouge showed any interest in annexing Gardere?"

Traffic calming and bike lanes will surely turn it around.

I answered it multiple times you moron. They have to ask first. If you're the best St. George has got --good riddance.

If the good people of Gardere know what's good for them, they'll stay in St. George for the beneficial tax implications.

You have a fondness for the personal attacks.

It may be a case where the property owners don't want to be annexed regardless if the city wants to do so.
