The perfect solution to NO MORE FORCED ANNEXATION. How about we put up toll booths on every city road, so that when you NHC residents drive on a city road that you have not help pay for and maintain, you have to pay a fee. City residence can have a sticker on their car, and drive on, since they have already paid for it by being a resident. The same would apply to city parks, shopping, and other services that are within the city limits, that NHC residents use, but don't want to pay for. Not a city resident, but want to use a park, pay a fee. Want to shop in a business in the city limits, but not a resident, pay a fee. Sounds reasonable to me. Why should people living in NHC, who use city services for FREE, continue to do so. Sounds like SOCIALISM to me. You all want the benefits of living near a city so you can have these accomodations nearby, but you don't want to pay for them. Sounds like a bunch of SOCIALISM going on to me. You don't want to be annexed into the city, but you have no problem using city services. Well then, why don't you start paying for them as you go. Why should you continue to get stuff for free, when I have to pay my fair share.
