As it is, based on the precise reasons that you like downtown you keep exhuming, demand for property inner city is apparently far more than than demand for property in the suburbs. Couple that with limited supply, and your property values are far higher than those in outlying areas.

What is your solution?
I kind of agree with this. I don't think too many people flee to the suburbs because of the property tax they will be paying. Sure, it's a nice bonus, but the prohibitive part of living in the inner city is that it is so freaking expensive to get anything decent.

This is a good problem to have though, much better than Detroit or St. Louis where it is very, very cheap to get something downtown.
