Then we should tear up the road in your neighborhood.

  To the extent a particular neighborhood can be identified as especially wealthy, it would seem fine to require them to pay for private maintenance of roads constructed by the subdivision developer in the first instance.

    Or, instead of privatizing roads, the maintenance of roads could be paid for by taxes and the wealthy could be made to pay higher taxes. Crazy, I know.

      The wealthy already pay the majority of taxes.

        What does that mean? It’s like saying the human body is mostly water; the devil is on the details. Should we all just pay a fixed amount?

    What if they now become poor? Would you subsidize them? What about police services and ambulance services for a poor versus rich person visiting that neighborhood? This already happens in some places, but I don’t think it’s practical or fair.
