what do you mean?
communities independent from the anchor city tax themselves and service themselves. they have their own police and fire protection, their own school districts, their own budgets and bond measures, better representation in the mayor/city council form of government. people in these smaller communities do pay for many urban amenities through regional bond measures.
it's easier to have your concerns heard in a smaller community than it is in a city of 1-8 million.
