I'm not sure that Montgomery's experience is unlike any other metropolitan area.  Folks like to be out and away from the hubub...and it is definitely cheaper in those locale....not necessarily because of taxes, but land values, cost of labor to build and so forth.  The Montgomery sales tax is about a penny or penny and a half more than those other places....and I'd be willing to be that folks who chose them over the city did it primarily for other reasons, although the sales tax surely was a factor.

I happen to reside in Montgomery County, completely surrounded by the city of Montgomery, because of what I consider a wise move on the part of Montgomery to annex acres and acres of farm land east of the city limits (it doesn't count against the black/white ratio if the only residents are cows)  . That is where the population is moving and where the future tax base lies.  I live in a strip of about a dozen properties, and we have united:  Bring us city sewer and we will agree to be annexed.  City hasn't agreed to our terms yet, and that is OK with me.

I do enjoy going downtown to Dreamland for some ribs and a beer!!
