>Note that a single family dewlling on .75 acres likely costs the government a lot of money to provide services (plumbing, sewer, electric etc) and is likely already a net debtor to the city/county. This style of development is why American (and Canadian) cities are going broke. Maybe in a dying city nobody wants to live in anyway. Most costs aren't spending the entire budget on plumbing/sewer/electric. All of those are often billed separately, with surcharges for infra development. RE developers are on the hook for those in new developments. Largest costs usually are: education, police, fire, roads. Except roads, these are orthogonal to density. So in short, your argument: people are net debtors because we have roads. Plainly false. |

I'd suggest educating yourself on how infrastructure maintenance is actually paid for.
Here's a video to start: https://youtu.be/7IsMeKl-Sv0
