It could be fully paid for by the developer for all I know.

I also get the privilege of paying for the recycling, even if I don't use it. Last week, we had a grand total of 20 pieces of paper to recycle. Hardly worth it, so we didn't even put the tub out by the street.

New buses with absolutely no service? I'd say we're getting what we pay for. Those in the inner city should pay higher fees because they get more service!!

Nope. They're paying for the service that they get, regardless of how crappy it is. They're paying taxes for services long before the services get built.
As with most things, it all evens out.
