A possible Amalgamation of Detroit and Suburbs?

[Danny]

I believe there is a state law passed in the mid-1920's that limits if and how municipalities can expand, specifically across county lines. This explains why Detroit did not jump North of Eight Mile Road in the 1920's. There have been detailed discussions about this on other threads.

Many large urban regions in the U.S. include too many municipalities within them leading to waste and fiscal problems, but little seems to be done about it.

That can be changed with a petition.
