BR can’t or won’t incorporate the area and has basically said “if you aren’t in an incorporated area, then frick you.”
And they wonder why the response is for St George to incorporate?
The “can’t” part is a combination of the city parish merger and Voting Rights Act. Merger

Hit post too soon...
The city quit incorporating most non commercial areas around 1980 due to the merger. Adding residential areas is problematic at the least due to the VRA claiming any change to the boundaries will dilute black votes.
