The problem with the two towns discussed that I am familiar with (New Richmond, OH and Erlanger, KY) is that they are border towns. They are located along main routes for commuters, literally on the edge of a state line (in this case, a river). Both experience heavy traffic from commuters and travelers; what are they supposed to do, move their towns? They can't reroute a state route or interstate highway at their convenience to reduce the number of accidents caused by out-of-towners.
