They make this argument without the financials. Is the property tax and service fee really not enough to maintain the infrastructure or are the municipalities redirecting resources that should be spent for maintaining infrastructure on other items?
- varenc 4y agoFrom watching some Strong Towns videos I really do think that for many towns the property tax revnue coming in really isn't enough to support their maintenance costs. Especially for sprawling low density developments where every single family home takes up at leasthalf an acre. And I suspect part of the problem is that maintenance costs have also been growing faster than inflation and increasing property taxes are politically infeasible.
