You have a nonsensical circular argument going.  Big cities are more efficient, so someone else should pay for big cities?    
Did you notice when businesses felt overtaxed and exited the core for the suburbs?  It's been going on for a while.  
It is really sad that residents can't face the natural economic consequences of always voting for the free-ride.  
Inevitably, when it becomes evident that what they have been voting for is a charade, it seems they develop wormhole theories to escape the cruel reality of the situation they are in.  Someone else should pay, because it is better for them that way.
