Inspired by a Miami post, should Tampa annex the rest of New Tampa that has not been annexed? Also Palm River, since they use some city infastructure (water) should they also? East Tampa and so on...
Orlando is doing this...there are neighborhoods literately a couple miles from downtown not part of the city w/dirt roads and poor, while areas to the SE are incorporated far from the city.Tampa needs to annex all of the nicer neighborhoods it can find. When I lived in Raleigh that is exactly what the city there did. They would annex nicer new neighborhoods and skip over the older poorer ones. It was kind of funny actually.
It isn't a bad idea. These areas generate a ton of tax revenue.Orlando is doing this...there are neighborhoods literately a couple miles from downtown not part of the city w/dirt roads and poor, while areas to the SE are incorporated far from the city.
