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
Just looking at my state’s ACFR and although it shows revenues like sales taxes, it doesn’t show which counties or municipalities those revenues come from.
