Call me selfish, call me narrow-minded, but I am proud to admit that I am inner-city resident who just feels like the city is expanding too far outwards and people who shouldn't have to be paying for it are.

I guess I just don't agree with your point. My property taxes pay for schools, I don't have kids. My income tax helps homeless people. Why should I pay for them? I haven't burned down my house or required the use of firemen, why should I pay for them.
Selfish/narrow-minded, I don't know? Maybe you are... It's like me turning up my nose at fat people, I choose to live a certain way and fat/unhealthy people annoy me so I'm going to be all smug towards them and feel a greater self worth becuase I'm feeling like I do something better than them. I don't do that... I think being like that would indicate I'm the one with a problem, not others.
