Oh good grief! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Is there an actual reason why they would do this? - other than pretty up the map?
I don’t understand why they can’t just zig zag the boundary around the affected properties, and keep each piece of property in the state which it has been in for these past 200 some years. So rather than an exact straight line segment as determined by global positioning systems, the border will vary a few hundred feet here and there, so as to make everyone’s lives easier. What am I missing???
