If your argument was that the new home buyers should bear the impact fee because they are creating the cost, it would have a bit more merit. But then you'd have to change your tagline to "the new homeowner's sweetheart impact fee deal"

I can't hardly believe some in this thread actually believe existing homeowners should pay for the cost of new home and other development by The Developer so they can make the price of the home/store lease/etc. appear more reasonable. There is no logic there. The Developer should pay these costs. He will make the costs back and profits when he sells the homes, leases out the shopping center, etc. at the cost they should be- without a subsidy from my pocket.
