The tax increases are mainly do to inflation this year pus capital spending. So for you the green line.
Op costs within the city have followed pop growth plus inflation.
Your share of taxes also goes up as the city expands outwards and your place becomes more valuable relative to the average house.
As for services Police, Fire, Roads, Schools, Rex Centers, Parks, Bike paths Libraires, Transit etc. A better question might be outside of Health and Education what do we get from the other levels of government.
You notice if city services are cut, you wouldn't if the Province or the Feds services were.
