On the other side of the ledger, the City has cut spending on a per capita basis. That said, another way to look at it is that municipal expenditure didn't keep up with inflation and population growth.
So, although we all saw our property tax bills explode since 2015 (mine is up 10% on an inflation adjusted basis since 2022), and even though the population increased 30%, per person revenue is roughly flat. The City hasn't really benefited from the property tax boom on a per capita basis.
The big stat is at the bottom: population growth since 2015.
Look at Fredericton as an example. Population in the capital city grew 31% from 2015 to 2024.
That time period saw per person revenue remain nearly flat (it grew 1.6%), but per person spending decreased 8.1%.
THREE home runs now for Vinnie Pasquantino 🇮🇹🤌🏼
I knew absolutely nothing about Chester A Arthur going into that series other than he was one of a bunch of nondescript 19th century Presidents.
Now he’s a fun drunk who’s constantly looking for sausages. He’s got my vote.
The Trump regime has no idea what it’s doing hour to hour, just in case you thought there was some grand strategy in Iran

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

Everything is bad, but at least I can focus on my dissertation chapter about how the British in 1915 didn’t have the navy to force a strait when it needed to because it spent the previous decades funding their army’s misadventures in unimportant areas that turned into expensive quagmires.
