100% disagree, and I live on 17th.The city needs people to live in the outskirts and therefore needs to develop infrastructure for them. Maybe less people should live there, but that's not the argument here.

Should Tuscany and surrounding communities pay for police and fire stations now as well? How about hospitals, aside from the ER in the foothills, should the southeast foot the bill for the new south east hospital? Can we have different levels of care for what part of the city you in?

How about a United states Way of looking at this, your money only goes only to your school district. Now our youth are really limited by there parents income as inner city school will start to crumble.

Your method would create a city with even more so classes split by geography - only the rich gets good infrastructure. It's insane.
