An area can petition to leave a city in order to either revert to being unincorporated or join another municipality.

Which is what BR is going to attempt to do with a number of businesses in StG which are being disputed due to BR illegally annexing them.

I am aware of the process.

As I said previously, I have a feeling a lot of property owners are going to "wait and see" what happens and whether StG (and school district) fall on their face. If they actually get their shite together and have good, efficient government and a real school system, I could definitely see an exodus from BR.

Yeah. But it’s not an easy process. And just requesting to be annexed or withdraw from the city doesn’t guarantee it will be granted.

What would be hilarious is if St. George doesn’t let a place like United Plaza withdraw for the same reason that BR tried to fight the new city - because it would cause an economic hardship
