Which services are you referring to? Technically in the SE, I'm closer to not only the power plant, but also the waste water treatment plant, the landfill, and we have our own firehall etc. I don't import services from the inner city.
On the note of sewer, most of the inner city water services require pumping to get it to the associated plant at a much higher cost, and the system is aging. Technically services in the inner city cost the city more per year than the equivalent in the burbs.
