Sounds like the first vote I would want is to unincorporate, I dont want some small town good ol boys telling me what to do.

I might be wrong, but it seems to me like unincorporated places would depend on county level, or some larger place, good boys telling you what to do. I'm guessing it also comes with a budget, taken out of the residents taxes, for stuff like services, police... elected official's pay... and similar.

At a population of 133, it sounds more like a HOA, but dunno.

You are right, but I would prefer good ol boys in a different town that tend to not know I exist and let me and my neighbors do our own thing.
