But if people want to live far away from the centers of population, they should be prepared to pay the costs of that. Isn't that a tenet of free market economics?
They did pay the cost. People living in the suburbs had to pay assessments to get their streets paved and had to pay to get hooked up to city water. I know you are going to start your nonsense that Detroit subsidized the entire suburbs to move away from the city.
