I pay taxes as well on everything I use. My concern is that is spent wisely for its intended purpose. In total, that I figure is probably getting close to 50% of a person's overall wages. What is "fair share"? Seems to me that it's a moving target.
Let's agree to disagree.

We all are concerned that money is spent wisely in a fiscally responsible manner. That is why population density (& the concept of a 15 minute city) makes a lot of sense. Quite simply the pipe in the street or whatever piece of infrastructure you wish to discuss, is utilized to a much higher average capacity with much greater utilization with the cost spread over a larger pool of tax payers even though the installation costs and lifespan and replacement costs are the same as that same pipe feeding a low value per acer area. Urban density is the fiscally responsible model.
