SG is an amalgamation of neighborhoods encompassing an area larger than Baton Rouge stretching from the Miss River on the southwest to the Amite River on the northeast.
So what? If this group of neighborhoods decides that it would like to be incorporated into a single municipality, where is the problem?

You're saying people who live north of Florida Blvd near the Amite River identify with the people who live in the Gardere area or along Highland Road south of Staring Lane?
a similar and even more disparate comparison can be made using EBR. good effort, good try.

The first statements above are no longer true with the annexation of the MoL. The L'Auberge Casino will soon follow along with Perkins Rowe. BR's finances will be just fine. SG will be short of money but that's what they want apparently.

The comparison was to Zachary's identity, genius.

"identity" of what?
Or are you now the arbiter of nebulous undefined terms that have somehow become a requirement for self-determination.

But again, keep your mall, casino, and perkins rowe. BR can have them.

You've retreated to debating neighborhood "identity".
What identity does north Baton Rouge have exactly? Tell me exactly what identity Sherwood Forest has and how they are more "connected" to Glen Oaks than Shenandoah? Do they have a special connection to Melrose or Old South just because the are in the same city? Tell me what connection Broadmoor has to LSU that CCLA doesn't have? Every city is a collection of neighborhoods with their own unique identity.
Unless you can actually define this term with some measurable statistic, you statements about this are just as foolish as every other claim you've made regarding St George.

So you're going to be the arbiter of what "identity" is necessary for this group to have self-determination? Please tell me about how this "identity" is quantified....

Look, numbnuts, go back and read the post I replied to comparing SG with Zachary. If you can't follow the logic, then that's your problem. As I said, reading comprehension issues continue for you.
BTW, I'm still waiting for that 3 year old, drama queen prediction of yours for an imminent WWIII because of food shortages worldwide.

Please tell me how you measure this "identity". How does one quantify this "identity"? Then maybe you can tell us all who gets to decide if this "identity" is acceptable for self-determination.... I cant wait to see the insults you throw out to avoid answering the question a 5th time.

Well, at least it would enable another vote on it in the legislature if I'm not mistaken. In that case, via incorporation, they have nothing to lose as far as schools are concerned. The big issue would then be about whether or not they want to add an additional layer of bureaucracy to run their lives. If they think it's worth it, then let them have it.

Experience has shown that most supporters of SG on this board don't live there. Does that include you?

well the geography has to be different, you rarely see two cities which have exactly the same location
Why is the history important for self-determination? How much and what kinds of history do they need for the right to self-determination through voting?

Well, look at it this way, it's a slightly better shot than they would have without incorporation

This is hilarious. Russian has retreated to suggesting that the reason St George shouldn't be a city is because of an undefinable term on which he won't expand.....then he resorts to name calling when he's challenged.
I needed a laugh. I've got to get some work done, but you keep up the good fight, soldier!
