You are right, it is beyond naive to expect developers would pay for anything in the long run. They are in business. (Calling a cat a cat is not bashing by the way, and to call it that is trying to Bamboozle everyone.) In the past those who benefited ie. the owners of the homes, were the ones that paid for infrastructure through bonds and maintenance. My parents, for example. That has changed. What is objected to by people right now from what I read is that in order to sell houses cheaply the current homeowners are asked to pay for the new infrastructure.
It is mentioned that in other jurisdictions this is the case. There are no other jurisdictions that are directly comparable to TV. Where is there farm etc land bought up, and developed for sale and other people living somewhere else are subsidizing this process? You can say it’s ok till the cows come home, but you know what is really happening.
