I would expect any inner city development that is a larger strain on resources (water, electricity, roads) to be reflected in the property taxes accordingly. I am incredibly pro-inner city living but if neighbourhoods/communities are self-sustaining environments, then the inner city should be just as responsible as the outlying neighbourhoods.
The grey area is things like road usage. There will be far more users of inner city roads than the outlying ones simply because of our downtown core / centrally located services and shops.
