Last I looked Strongtown calculations seem to be based on areas in the Midwest. It's plausible that more expensive places to live are making enough to maintain infrastructure. For example I live in a 50 year old 1.5k square foot house in a suburb and pay around 12k/year in property taxes. Which was far above the calculations one of the blog posts said that the town would have to collect.
