And that would differ from the current status-quo how? The number of urban and rural councilors out number the urban ones which does affect spending and decisions. It feels like HRM is building a community centre on every corner out in the rural areas and Metro Transit is definitely being pushed to expand their service into rural areas where there is little population density and few potential riders. It's telling that the new library is the first big investment the city has made in the Downtown in a long time... unless you count the sewage treatment plants.
