From what many of us have seen, this 21st century stuff isn't all that great and annexation is just a way for developers to dump vinyl boxes on us so people from NJ and PA can move in and whine about not having the services that drove up the costs in the tax hell-holes they came from.
In short, if Hartly is too backward for you, try the annexation-crazy towns of Smyrna and Clayton.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!

If you were to apply this logic to DE the rural areas would cease to exist because every resident has a town or city mailing address, the entire state of DE would be all towns and cities!

The city of Hartly is basically just main st. This encompasses a mere 100 people, yet there are over 2000 people who have Hartly listed as their primary address. Now this has always been done because the old goats who run the town (mayor and city counsel) don't want any fansy new fangled thoughts in the town, just keep things the way they have been for the past 100 years or so, but with time comes change. The city limits (for mail purposes) runs out 11 down to wrights cross roads, and out 44 to rt 8. The town charter only recognizes those who live on main st and about a 3 block radius as actual Hartly townspeople.
This travesty has gone on for far too long, and needs to be changed. Allow those on the outskirts who claim Hartly as their town of residence to run for city counsel and help the town move forward in to the 21st century.
