Are you thinking of dollar revenue as an average OR considering suburbian dollar revenue separate? You'd think the suburbia also brings in more cash to the government (I got no sources).

It really doesn't, on a per acre basis.

The discussion was about per-person costs, so per-acre revenues are irrelevant.

You can have cities configured to have more or less people per acre.

It turns out that having more of them per acre is more cost effective.
