Why does the city do this? That's my issue.
If they didn't subsidize the cost of infrastructure for developing communities, prices for homes out in those communities would be higher. This, in turn, would force people back towards to the inner city because it's no longer a discount to live out in the middle of nowhere (and if you're paying the same amount, you're probably going to live in a place where it takes less time to get anywhere), and the infrastructure wouldn't be needed, thus saving the city those costs.
