I totally agree with you. The bond on my first house, a courtyard villa, was $2000. Why are these bonds now six times higher? If the cost of the infrastructure was included in the price of a new home, there would be an incentive to keep the cost down. As it stands now, there is no incentive on keeping costs down. These costs never show up until the new buyer is handed his bond.
