Residents in Louisiana’s Democrat-run capital city have won a historic battle to secede and create their own city following a lengthy court battle.
If LA ever gets rid of that asinine state income tax, they just made themselves slightly more viable as a retirement destination.
Accelerationism + Game Theory = this story is a big fat "nice!" when it would have been front page nation-wide historic af ground-breaking news 10 or 20 years ago!
But Baton Rouge still will be the capital?
I'm not sure I get what was accomplished here. Everyone who didn't want to live in Baton Rouge already had the right to move to another town. What's the point of a lengthy court battle to create a new one?
To not have to move? To not try and buy a home in this shitty housing market?
They're avoiding those things by creating the new town?
Yes. They took where they currently live and its a new city now. They no longer pay taxes to Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge Mayor is big mad that whitey won't fund her shithole anymore
Usually it's the bigger cities sucking the smaller ones in and consolidating. This is refreshing.
