Whereas, it is certainly advantageous to have all the amenities you suggest, government’s business is to insure basic infrastructure for all citizens. ALL citizens need the fire and police services. SOME citizens want to use the amenities but they do not need them. When the city goes broke or raises taxes exhorbitantly, how many of those young “creative class” will be attracted? It sounds to me that rather than “cut, cut, and cut”, you would rather spend, spend, and spend!
