Very similar. We even voted for this and are held hostage by 2 woke women.

There’s a big difference though. SG has never been incorporated. SG is unincorporated EBR Parish. It has never been part of BR.
Furthermore there are three other cities incorporated in EBR Parish besides Baton Rouge.

What a bunch of horseshite especially since Buckhead wasn't part of Atlanta's city limit until the 50's when it was "annexed" by the city in a very shady legislative vote.
[quote]20% of the city’s population of 500,000, but about 40% of its tax revenue[/quote]
I highly doubt this number...it's at least
60%.

Residents still had to approve it in a referendum (which they did)

If Atlanta will die without Buckhead, maybe they need to get their shite together. Cause Buckhead apparently doesn’t need them.

Nothing like St. George. Buckhead is inside the city limits of Atlanta. St. George is an unincorporated area of East Baton Rouge Parish. Buckhead literally wants to secede.

The awful white people need to leave. Then when the Kangs get their reparations check, they can take over and turn it into Little Wakanda.

GA is a deep blue state now.

Can’t very well say it correctly that they want to get away from the racial jungle that Joe Biden talked about all those years ago.

Some similarities to Orleans, with a definite pattern emerging.
Although they'd never admit it publicly, the St. Charles Avenue gang who've run this city since its founding by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville must've wondered more than a few times about separating themselves from Orleans since they are now surrounded and are paying those giant property taxes to keep the gravy train going for this experiment in futility - all at the continuing peril of their women and children.
The irony is not lost on them that they were the ones who gave enough support to Dutch Morial over Joe DiRosa to start the slide you see now.
Also, sometime ago, the Lakefront floated the possibility of seceding from the city, but were shot down.
Again, they weren't about to give up those property taxes.
Exorbitant, three-digit water bills and the federal government are just not enough to keep it going.
Prior to Katrina, LakeView by itself was footing over 40 percent of the property taxes to keep it going.
Should we expect more attempts like this among more and more of the big cities across the nation.
Is this just the beginning of the "new medievalism" we're hearing about.

Well, now that the residents of Buckhead see that there is no hope in staying in place, there will be a rush to the door. Either that, or arm themselves to the teeth, develop 'neighborhood watch' strategies and go down swinging. I'll bet the price of their homes just took a beating.

Doubt any of that really.
The referendum wouldn't have passed most likely. The crime wave in Buckhead over the last 2 years has done nothing to suppress values (they're way up) and none of that was premised on Buckhead becoming a city. I think those who wanted to leave (like me) already have for the most part. Of course, plenty of young families seeking friendlier confines for family life will continue to move, but that happened before COVID/Crime wave too.
Every Buckhead neighborhood already has neighborhood watch and most have part or full time security from off duty cops. They're used to this stuff.
The reality is that Buckhead "conservatives" - like the well heeled conservatives in places like Highland Park, etc. tend to be less resolute in their values because of the circles they run in. They're establishment Rs because being too conservative is bad for business.

Used to get fricked up in my mid twenties in buckhead when i lived in Woodstock. Good times. You couldnt pay me to go there now for half an hour during the day. These people will be leaving one way or another no matter what you decide to call it or phrase it as. Atlanta minorities better start injecting more into the tax pool or someone will come door to door to re appropriate their obama phone.

We have all that in place - and more - including armed patrols, but still experienced an attempted home invasion just prior to the appearance of Corona.
On a Saturday night around 9 o'clock.
It was a coordinated attack with 3 homes being hit at the same time.
Before the door buckled, the alarms went off around the neighborhood and they gave up their effort.
The inconvenient truth now is that you can't rely on cops and other security measures for anything.
It has to be done ourselves, individually.
