There are a lot of things in life beyond municipal services and in a lot of cases the service level is lower in the suburban areas. I'd guess that it's sometimes still a "win" municipal-service-wise to live in the city, but less of a win than it would be without the subsidy.
Sometimes I wonder how much variety there is in these costs too. Is the average suburban dweller so heavily subsidized or is it that there are 5% who are getting super expensive services? I could see this in Halifax.
