The situation may not correlate exactly, but if Dallas and Fort Worth had annexed all of the land between them instead of Arlington, Irving, etc. all of the main new tourist and sports attractions in that area wouldn't be taking tax dollars away from Dallas. They wouldn't have had to fight Arlington for the new football stadium and lost.
