The subsidies come in the form of infrastructure spending per capita when the spending source is at the state or national level: Roads that serve few cars. Electricity infrastructure from the power plant to the suburbs. Water infrastructure (pipes need to bring clean water in and sewage out) Not to mention the racist history of the reasons for subsidizing suburbs. White flight followed by redlining and deeds that prevented suburban housing from being sold to African-Americans. Followed by a neglect of city infrastructure as black residents moved in. Edit: Since I’m being downvoted for daring to suggest that suburbs have a racist history, I’ll leave a recent stratchery article to explain. https://stratechery.com/2020/dust-in-the-light/ https://stratechery.com/2020/dust-in-the-light/
