Most people probably don't want to incorporate.
Of the 30 or so friends/family that I talk to regularly that live in the SG area, maybe 2 or 3 of them are for it. The majority of people I talk to about it are very against it. The whole notion that the SG movement is "small group of people" is actually pretty spot on.
If the city of SG does get serious and on a ballet, I think you will see the better together people destroy the "Im In" people with facts and proper info about the actual impact SG will have. Which will motivate the against it voters.
Also most of them dislike the name St. George

The median home value in that development is probably in the $400,000-$500,000 range.
They have a very active homeowner's association and they recently held a HOA town hall meeting to discuss the SG incorporation effort and to see if the homeowners wanted the association to support it.
There are about 160 homes in the development. Approximately 90 people showed up at the meeting.
When a show of hands was called for in support of the incorporation not one hand was raised. It was unanimous. Not one person at the meeting supported the incorporation effort.
Of course this is anecdotal, etc, and someone might suggest all of the homeowners who didn't attend might vote in favor of the incorporation.

You don't even know what subdivision I'm referring to but you're so desperate to make yourself appear to be "in" that you post things without the smallest bit of knowledge or facts. Typical.
And no one person "gave" the meeting I'm referring to. It was a HOA meeting which the HOA board called.

You said CCLA. if you are talking about the ccla homeowners association meeting that was called, where st.George speakers were present, I'm sitting next to the gentleman who gave it. You posted CCLA. Who the hell doesn't know what CCLA is?

Towards ccla meant the neighborhood to me. If it wasn't, then you're right, we are talking about different people.

You had TWO pieces of information in my post that let you know it was NOT CCLA that I was referring to and you whiffed on both of them just because you're so eager to appear to know something.
It makes you look even less knowledgeable. And desperate.

Right. My speed reading is exactly the same as you thinking 9+2-2=11, making up 38million, or bodi withdrawing a bill. All hail Russian.

I don't get it if people feel st george will not pass why are they fighting it so hard when they don't need to? Putting fuel on the fire.
I don't think it will pass, but I feel they should get to vote yes or no.
More the communist of the city try to pull stunts to shutdown the voice in this area the bigger the support for this movement grows.
At the end of the day Baton Rouge will be one big money pit with the middle class that can afford to leave live outside the city. The only people left will be the poor and rich with a lot higher taxes and empty retail commercial property.
The commercial properties that voted to be annexed will be the losers having to pay cats taxes after their tax break is gone. If I was a commercial owner I would sue if I had to pay cats taxes while these guys that are now in the city get a tax break.

Comments from the rticle posted are interesting:

It's getting bad when the mayor and some members of the Metro Council would rather sacrifice the safety of the lives and property of an area by injuring the second largest fire department in East Baton Rouge Parish. The St. George Fire Department gets a big chunk of funding from the property taxes on places like the Mall of Louisiana. For emergency situations, seconds mean lives saved. If the SGFD has to close stations and reduce manpower then that severely cuts vital time from a response effort. Imagine if it was your house, or maybe your spouse or a child in a car accident. I know if it was my family, I'd want them their is the quickest time possible. Wouldn't you? Mayor Kip Holden, Metro Councilman John Delgado, and other Council representatives who are willing to sacrifice the lives of those in the unincorporated areas just to keep their irresponsible spend habits secured and maintain their power.
Holden is evil and is playing games with our lives! OHNOOZ!

Your unnamed friend must live in a very special undisclosed neighborhood. I forget the exact numbers but a BRAC poll recently found that the majority of SG residents support an independent school system and about 36% support creating a new city as a means to do this. The BRAC poll did not specifically ask respondents that supported the new school system whether they would support a new city if that was the only way to create an independent school system.
It can't be the home values that are creating this strange anomaly of 0% support for SG because I live in an area with comparable home prices and the majority of my neighbors support SG.

What are you talking about?
What commercial properties? Who's paying CATS tax?
