    the only way to get enough income in tax revenues to provide services to all the people who come in from OUTSIDE the city to work there.

I worked for a company based in downtown Denver, and regardless of which of the suburbs you lived in, because the office was downtown, we had an additional payroll tax... It wasn't huge, but I think it was to pay for exactly the kind of things you're mentioning.

It's probably no wonder that back in the 90's, "The Tech Center" started developing in one of the suburbs...
