It's an outstanding question that should be asked of the leaders of BR.
Last time I checked those areas have to ASK to be annexed. Why don't you two go hand in hand to Gardere and take a door to door survey to gage their interest?

That is true. However you have to be completely naive or just flat out disingenuous if you don't think that many of BR's city leaders personally reached out to "encourage" the Hospital, Mall, etc. to request annexation. I seriously doubt they reached out to Gardere residents with the same vigor (if at all).
If you want to say that a unified BR is better for ALL persons/businesses in both the city limits and proposed St. George area, at least pretend that message is genuine by seeking to annex both the tax revenue generators and takers
