But what I was getting at was just the sheer size of Cranston vs. Sunnyside. The neighbouthoods are arbitrary, my retort was simply that the neighbourhood one fifth the size is garnering the same amount of tax money, and obviously easier and cheaper to maintain.

I was just being a shat disturber.
One thing to consider is the lifecycle cost of each community. The older communities will eventually require replacement of water, sewer, power services, re-surfacing of roads, replacement of sidewalks. Ripping up the water main in these older communities is much more expensive than a new installation in a clay capped field. Not to say they don't cover these costs with their taxes, but these kinds of things should be considered.
