Now can Cities have a right to cross county lines. If a rural county is next to a major city can the city say "we have no where to go but over there"?

Classically what they do is have a special election to merge both counties.

One Man One Vote.

A few thousand farmers in one county vs a few million envious city dwellers in the other.

See Houston, Texas. County seat of Harris County...but City of Houston expanded some years ago into Fort Bend County and other surrounding counties.
