Have you considered moving to an urban area?
- Mawr 3y agoHave you considered paying the full cost of living in a non-urban area via taxes?
- Vt71fcAqt7 3y agoI haven't considered that. Do you have any data surrounding tax increase on urbanites caused by suburbanites? (If I understand your point.)
- Tactician_mark 3y agoHere's an infographic from Sustainable Prosperity: https://i.imgur.com/2rgkaOZ.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/2rgkaOZ.jpeg That's just one area in Halifax, but the idea is that higher population densities require less infrastructure per person. Less road, power line, water/sewer pipe, etc. However, low density houses usually pay less in property taxes per unit area than high density, meaning that increased infrastructure cost is coupled with a considerable tax break.
