Is it time for the City of Venice to also annex the streets that are in the city limits -- and not just the houses? The home owners must pay taxes, but the streets don't.

Apparently you're not following politics very well. When the City of Venice annexed the enclaves, they did not annex all the roadways inside the city limits -- they only annexed the tax paying homes.
