Suburban infrastructure doesn't pay for itself and it never will with the contemporary tax model. It relies on siphoned higher density resident's income tax to cover it's increased cost per capita.
>it's about submitting to bigger interestsBigger interests are what made and still uphold suburban sprawl. You just don't see them because you refuse to connect dots, because you have sentimental attachment to the suburb.
One more reason you don't see them is because those bigger interests veiled themselves by lobbying their interests into law decades ago.
It's easy to point out profiteers when something new and unusual comes up, but so hard to do that when this is all you've known.
Someone is always going to benefit from something, whether you like it or not.
By being complacent you're supporting oil, asphalt, car, wood companies etc.
So why resist just out of spite for steel, concrete, development companies and what have you?
