Tory has a long piece on the eventual fate of the Woodlands, whose non-annexation treaty with Houston expires in 2011.

Whoever is looking to succeed Bill White as Mayor, you better start thinking about this now. Check it out.

One Response to Annexing the Woodlands

  1. Mathwiz says:

    I know nothing about the specifics of The Woodlands, but in general I’d note that the proliferation of independent suburban governments around large cities is a uniquely American phenomenon, and it’s not a good thing. It exacerbates the “doughnut” problem, where the suburbs get the dough while the inner city gets left in the hole.
