Canada leeches the benefit of being on the doorstep of the most powerful military in the world. It is able to spend practically no money on national defense because it knows the U.S. would never allow a foreign military to screw with someone that shares that much border with the United States.
Johnson County leeches all the benefits of being part of a major city (arts, entertainment, transportation hub, etc) without contributing in any way to those things.
