I didn't intend to, I meant cities are subsidizing suburbia. You sure went off on a tangent and didn't address a single point, correctly - but mostly at all, I or the article made. Pipes are expensive, underground utilities are expensive, roads are expensive. All of those things scale much better within a city and its population & density. Servicing suburbs IS expensive compared to cities. Water is typically metered and paid for as a user rate not from the general tax fund. Sense of community is on you, not where you live. Either you're not getting involved or people don't want to be around you. You are talking right past me to be heard, with subjective facts, not to have a discussion.
