In the case of the typical Post-WWII suburb versus inner-city/Smart Growth communities, the game can go on for quite some time but at the end the latter end up paying a lot much, which is very unfair. It is beyond the acceptable amount of subsidization for the public good and equates to subsidization of an impractical lifestyle and unsustainable patterns of development.
