I guess my point was that there's a base infrastructure of water, light, and heat that every community has. These are the base infrastructure of a community, but the larger the community, the more likely it is that the community will also need a public transit infrastructure on top of that base. If all you're doing is distributing on an even basis a gas tax or some similar proportional amount of money, you can't deal with that difference.
