Putting the increase in the impact fee on new home buyers increases both new homes and by market pressure existing home prices. That helps everyone except the developer.
Another "I got mine" so I don't expect you to "get yours" post. I like the post when one of the new commissioners said they need to find new revenue streams (which of course is us in a different format?). As we continue to fight the developer I can see the developer also finding new revenue streams and focusing less on what the residents care about and more around what works for them.....commercial properties, housing for commercial support, apartment complexes etc. Be careful what you wish for, you might just be successful.
