Same reason I can’t consider my neighbor’s car part of my house (even if she does park on my side of the yard all the time…) It’s theirs and they want it and they have it.

If your city was its own little country within whatever larger country you’re in with its own history, culture, language maybe, traditions, civic institutions, etc., would you be cool with the larger country simply absorbing your little home?
