I did a little doodle. Not fully certain of what we might be missing jobs/economic activity wise if these areas were cut off besides that Honeywell(?) plant down south. This just makes sense to me on geographical level and other than the aforementioned plant I'm unaware of significant economic activity in these areas. (Not saying it isn't there, I'm just largely ignorant of these areas.)
I wouldn’t want them to de-annex between grandview and state line. You mention Honeywell, but there are a lot of factories in there and a lot of potential.

De-annexing the land east of Raytown alone would put us closer to 275 square miles and couldn't cost us more than a couple thousand residents tops. Hell it would probably be more likely to develop if it was Less Summit. I have zero faith in Raytown and not much more in Independence though.
Totally agree, there is no real potential in these areas
