- pdonis 5y agoThey do if they pool their resources through, say, property taxes paid to their locality. Localities can build out basic infrastructure without having to have large corporations do all the development. That has the added advantage that you get actual communities that grow and evolve over time instead of sterile cookie cutter suburbs.

If the area grows significantly, then they'll have to pay even more on top for upgrades. But hey, at least it'll be idyllic. Good luck keeping your kids around after they graduate high school.

I've had that experience in neighborhoods that did have the "advantages" of upfront planning and design. I don't think upfront planning and design is the panacea you are making it out to be.
