Private developers will build whatever people want, which sometimes is completely unlike what people need. Sometime back, there was a recently built over-55 community discussed here. It looked just like your generic subdivision. One wonders how much misery will be there 20 years from now. Wide roads without sidewalks are not good for people with low mobility and vision problems, and there is no adequate hospital and nursing services around, not even a food store within close distance. The future in that development will be fun to watch.
- bane 11y ago> Private developers will build whatever people want I think maybe a better way to think of it is that developers will build whatever makes them money -- a good enough proxy for wants in many cases, but not for all.
