Urban Encounter raises a good point...annexation of outer areas is generally done because it's an economic benefit (or perceived future economic benefit) to do so, not as a statewide sausage-measuring contest. Annexation along the holes in the "K" (like the Panhandle, Arden/Arcade and south Sacramento) make sense in terms of efficiently consolidating city services in a logical geographic area, but that's not a justification for an effort to consolidate the city/county area--such a measure would help bankrupt the city even faster than we are now.
