Yes, Liz, but on the other hand, is it fair for the single poorest family
in the community to block progress on major projects that they feel they
can't afford?  And that most other families want?  If you require that
everything be funded perfectly fairly, this is what will happen much of
the time.  Are you willing to accept that as the price of equality?
