Sure, just pay the appropriate property tax and don't externalize the cost of your own highly inefficient housing on others.

- rickydroll 2y agoYou probably intended your comment as a gotcha on the property tax issue. Still, I only bought my house a couple of years ago, which reset the valuation of the property to a much higher level at the current tax rate. I don't use much in the way of city services (road, water), but I know the property tax I pay goes to help pay for school for other people's children, police, fire, and EMS for folks who need them. I know my income taxes contribute to many services in urban areas that I will never use. I am okay with this. I recognize that there are many cross-subsidies in our society, and unless we go completely pay-as-you-go, it'll be impossible to untangle them all.
