Unfortunately for us, the real benefactor of the tax-free status of the bonds was the entity that we the residents pay for with our amenity fees - the central districts. If the bonds were sold as taxable bonds, the interest rates would have been higher and therefore our amenity fees would have been stretched tighter to pay off the bonds.
LESS??? Like paying $84,000,000 for $8,800,000 worth of property?
