Perhaps wage a bet that surrounding neighborhoods will one day start begging the City of Decatur to annex them as Dekalb County continues its fiscal and management spiral downwards.

I agree. the annexation isuse was a different game in which there were many in the affected area that were both for and against, including many in Decatur.

Brookhaven was an incorporation, not an annexation, of a fairly large area with the backing of the citizens involved. I have a feeling that if there was a groundswell of support from the areas COD wants to annex and from the citizens of Decatur you’d hear a different tune from the Dekalb delegation.
