So you must be a fan of high taxation and the infrastructure deficit.

But I’m sure you have some other warped reason why avoiding capital tangible asset management for a 1/2 century isn’t the result of sprawl.
It’s not that hard to conceptualize a basic cost per residential unit for every unit of pipe, wire, and road with respect to taxation, capital costs, maintenance costs, and replacement costs.

You want sprawl.
Pay for it. It’s not that hard.
