Stronk Towns and NJB are just propaganda outlets.

Suburbs are _cheaper_ than dense cities. In fact, they generate most of the wealth of the country. It's easily proven by checking the amount of personal income taxes from suburbs versus cities.

People who claim that "suburbs are subsidized" typically check the _corporate_ taxes that are paid (surprise!) usually at their headquarters' locations. Usually in downtowns. But _people_ who create wealth overwhelmingly prefer suburbs.

And yeah, if your goal is to maximize the profit that you're extracting from companies by exploiting people, then dense cities are perfect.

Fascinating. Apparently you want the last word, I'll let you have it, this isn't going to be a fruitful discussion anyway.

Good lord it's like you've taken everything that's actually true and claimed the opposite.
