Cities are usually net positive when it comes to funding. Its part and parcel why they exist. Efficiency by proximity. The factories, the offices, the ports, the manufactuers, the retail, etc all all closer together, the people are closer together, the taxes leveraged are therefore more efficient.

Righties hate to hear it but cities tend to be net positives, suburbs are net positives, rural areas net negatives when it comes to funding. Rural areas need agri subsidies since it keeps prices stable rather than fluctuating wildly, in that way, agri subsidies are state security since it literally will ink to unrest from the population.
