I'm a little confused by the inner-city vs. suburb divide when it comes to the subsidy. I live in an established, but still quite suburban community. Removal of this subsidy only affects new builds (correct me if I'm wrong), so, why wouldn't I support someone that wants to shift some costs onto the consumer instead of the taxpayers?
Seems to me it's more of an established neighborhoods vs new builds divide on this issue, but people in the suburbs are getting defensive for some reason.
Granted, I get how the inner-city finds the market-value system unfair (I do too...why are my taxes for a house in Tuscany more than a house in Falconridge that uses the same amount of infrastructure), but that doesn't seem to be what the issue is (at this point).
