Off topic but on the flip side of this hypothetical, if our respective cities did consolidate with other cities and become a bigger city, would they eventually want to secede? Those municipalities I mentioned in my previous post are separate municipalities for a reason.
Parts of the city of Los Angeles, in my lifetime, have had secession movements, all voted down. They've wanted to secede for basically the same reasons: more local control and say in their local affairs, better infrastructure management, and the feeling/perception of neglect from city hall as compared with other areas of the city.
Has any part of Chicago wanted to secede and form their own city (I feel like I've asked this before on these forums)? How about Houston, as physically large it is in area? Have there been secession movements there? I think La Jolla, a wealthy coastal neighborhood of San Diego, used to want to secede.
