The apartment tower also has massive costs. It requires high-capacity water, sewer, electric, and trash service. It requires specialized fire protection services including extra training and equipment to fight fires in high rise buildings. It has a massive carbon footprint.
Why should a property owner who does not impose any of those costs (or imposes a tiny fraction of them) pay equally for them?
- mullingitover 6y agoThe apartment tower is likely in a high density area already built for those types of services. It's a perfectly sensible idea to penalize those who would waste those services on a vacant lot.

It requires specialized fire protection services including extra training and equipment to fight fires in high rise buildings. The apartment almost certainly already pays for all of these things. > It has a massive carbon footprint. Which can be offset or even reduced/eliminated outright.
