FayObserver.com -Gates Four homeowners sue over planned annexation: "The association and homeowners have vehemently opposed what they consider a land grab by the city, which stands to reap an extra $2.6 million in tax revenue over five years.
Gates Four residents say they have all the services they need, including curbside garbage collection, street maintenance and a small security force.
The community is a mix of stately brick houses, more modestly sized homes and smaller condominiums and town homes. Five years ago, the average tax value per house was $225,135."

Finally a gated community that puts "gates" right in their name so you know that you need to stay the heck out. And they aren't messing around on this annexation either. They are just saying, "We don't need no stinking municipal services!"
Situations like this can be prevented by incorporating as a municipality. Unincorporated land is always subject to these city land grabs.
