I think you may have misread the article; it seemed to me that blame was placed much more on political incentives to encourage outward, sparse suburban growth.

I think you may have misread the article; it seemed to me that blame was placed much more on political incentives to encourage outward, sparse suburban growth. The kind of growth which incurs enormously more infrastructure cost per capita. Not on accounting practices.
