Among the places that I have lived

1. Ft Lauderdale and Miami in Florida

2. Richmond, Norfolk, Arlington, and Alexandria in Virginia

All of these cities are hemmed in by non-annexable political entities None are "growing geographically".

Washington, DC is completely hemmed in by state lines.

I believe that San Francisco is in the same fix.

When was the last time that New York expanded its borders?
