I see your point. But it works both ways. Possibly the increased tax funding from the growth areas are the reason taxes have not been raised in years. So in a sense expansion has filled the gap as expenses has increased across all areas over time.
Expansion has also helped raised everyone's property values with newer homes paying more in taxes. Effectively subsidizing the older areas.
