If the city didn't want the tax base, then they wouldn't have bought or annexed the land. By integrating the land and those communities into the city, they have made a commitment to provide the electrical lines, roads and sewers to those citizens as well.
Just because Johnny Inner-City doesn't come out the boonies and use my powerlines doesn't mean I should be penalized for it.
