A recent article (I forget what the source was) showed that service levels and expenditures on key city services were roughly equal throughout the city. When you couple that with the huge shift of residential tax burden towards the downtown created by CVA and surging property values in the old City of Toronto you get the scenerio where the old city of Toronto is starting to heavily subsidize the suburbs.
CVA tax shifts? Are you talking the time when Rosedale and Forest Hill mansions were pay a couple of hundred dollars a year in property tax when modest homes in North York and Scarborough were paying more than three thousand? Is that the shift you are talking about?
