Sure - if reparations were paid by said closer citizens for the monies that were equivalently spent placing, upgrading and maintaining their infrastructure from back in their day. Inflated to 2012 dollars and all additional costs like the examples provided above were board by said citizens living close by.
Or, have the city purchase all housing from the entire population for current market values. Create new taxation system and start the auction and see where everyone lands and how they like new location*.
*I have no idea if that makes sense or is relevant but it popped into my head and sounds fun and dramatic so I'm going to leave it without editing or thinking about it
