At the time Brookline being the first town in the US to refuse annexation from its larger nearby city (Boston) was championed and lead to many more towns doing the same. Looking back idk if it was a good thing. Do you guys think Boston should try to annex more cities/towns today? Today the actual city limits are nowhere even close to where the city limits are in practice.
I dont think really any benefits come from Boston being so small and the surrounding towns all being on different pages. I think it would be much more beneficial if Boston were to annex more cities/towns to greater match reality, grow the population, land area, and help with housing. The city is so small that it doesnt really have many areas far enough from downtown to build cheaper housing, and it effects transit as well. What do you guys think?
