As for Bertuzzied's other point, he's absolutely right that people in the low-density suburbs should be taxed at a comparatively higher rate than people living in the higher-density inner city. Right now, residents living near the core subsidize the suburbs; instead, the people who choose to live in the burbs should pay the appropriate amount of tax dollars for the services they use.

Now we just need a politician with enough balls to implement that. As much as I'm a Nenshi fan i don't think he will do it.
