Does St. George start a pattern?

Shout out West University, Bellaire, Highland Park, University Park, and all the other "island" jurisdictions...

Likely will be a rare instance.

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?

Sounds like that's the key characteristic. But the media is making it sound like part of the city broke away

Bc then they can make a race issue out of it.

If the media reported that the new city was previously unincorporated, paid taxes to a city they aren’t residences and even suggested by the current mayor when she was a legislator, it doesn’t get the clicks and isn’t a story.

There’s isn’t much else of unincorporated East Baton Rouge parish

Me too

They are scared to death ,because the ground work has been laid and a precedent set. Black run cities will not survive without white money and will devolve into Mogadishu. There is a reason this has made national news and has been criticized heavily by these legacy publications.

Urban sprawl is everywhere so no rarity.

Not without disincorporating first IIRC.

Orleans and NO have the exact same city limits.
