Fair comment. But if you are trying to contain growth, why build these amenities on the absolute fringes of the city? The answer is probably more available cheap land with fewer NIMBYs, but its not exactly a benefit to people in the established areas of the city paying more tax as a result or to the greater goal of increasing density.
