    I don’t really follow you regarding cost viability.

    I live in a small city of about 70,000. We don’t really have a dense CBH. There are small blocks of apartments here or there but not really in a business district.

    99% of the population here lives in detached houses in a suburban setting.

    It seems kind of nonsensical to me to suggest that suburbs kill off cities due to extreme maintenance costs.

    I know people who work in the city’s finance department. The taxes people in suburbia pay to the municipality pay for the maintenance and services they receive. If there were a deficit from suburban parasites the city would’ve become insolvent long ago.
