Sacramento exploring annexation of Arden-Arcade, Natomas and South Sacramento

[ozone]

It's such a joke. These suburban Anywhere USA's thinking that incorporation will turn them into 'cities'. I know people who live in the Arden Arcade area and they do not have a strong sense of belonging to a distinctive community. This is all about the suburbs gaining political clout- as the article pointed out. But in the end I'd rather have more incorporated townships than a bunch of diaphanous entities. Also I believe the people in the Arden-Arcade district have every right to determine what kind of community they wish to live in even if I think it would be better if they were consolidated into Sacramento.

While I support annexation if, and only ,the city is restructured into a borough system, the City of Sacramento needs to be careful about annexation of certian districts so as not to inherit the host of problems that exist in those districts.
