Wondering if anyone has hard numbers on this - for instance, “NYC benefits from $X billions from NY State every year, and generates $X billions back to the state through income tax and other revenue streams every year” etc etc
I asked deep seek and it referenced comptroller reports but it was difficult to parse…
I take for granted that urban centers subsidize suburban and rural areas but would love to see hard numbers
Strong Towns is a right wing org, but this is basically their bugbear
