It is the most regressive tax that Calgarians pay. And yet there's people that still think their house in the inner city somehow subsidizes everywhere else.

I don't live in the inner city, so take that FWIW. But how do the higher value owners not subsidize the lower value owners in general? Everyone gets the same service, right? So for some people that service costs more than another person. Sometimes houses on the same block, directly beside each other are paying completely different amounts for literally the exact same thing. I guess it's semantics, but that sure seems like some people are subsidizing others?
