Cities don't produce wealth. People produce wealth. Many of the people who work in cities to produce wealth actually live in suburbs. For example, many of the people who drive NYC's economy live in New Jersey, Long Island, and the suburbs north of the Bronx and commute to work. It's wrong to give the city full credit for that wealth creation, which is the fundamental mistake that Strong Towns makes when they assert that cities subsidize the suburbs.
