Strong towns at least has numbers. So while you may disagree with the methodology at least there is one.

It sounds like you're equally biased, at least until you provide some competing numbers. Fine, use per capita. What did you come up with?
- amanaplanacanal 8y agoActually, those guys have collected both tax data and spending data. They show very well that the older, poorer parts of cities universally collect more in taxes than they spend on services, and the surplus subsidizes the richer suburban areas. If you have any data at all showing the opposite, I'm sure they would love to see it. Strongtowns is not some hotbed of liberalism. They guy who started it grew up on a farm in a small town in Minnesota. He is anything but a "liberal."
