What if a new stadium/arena gets built centrally, say in Stampede park. Now what if you and I each pay taxes that go towards building this thing that you can walk to. Me? I have to spend $10 in gas to get there and $10 to park there. So, I'm thinking that why should my taxes subsidize the building of an arena so convenient for you?
I am just having a little fun here. I agree with most of what you said. I happen to live off of Glenmore at 69th st sw. I don't think the developers should have been allowed to build all these houses out here without interchanges and at least making Glenmore a bigger road, especially with all the truck traffic.

obviously you have to darw lines to define how you tax the base ... you have to do that no matter what ... and every city has to decide how to do that.
As for the stadium example by virtue of where anyone decides to live they make a decision about how much they want to pay in gas and parking ... and is irrelvant to how municipal taxes are allocated.
