Shouldn't cities subsidize suburbs? I genuinely don't know the breakdown but when I was a kid and living in the suburbs I remember most of the adults around me commuting into the cities. I live in NY right now and rent prices are basically unlivable for most people so I find it hard to believe most workers don't commute in now as well. At that point subsidizing suburbs is basically required to support the workers who generate all the money for the city, it strikes me as symbiotic.
