This was exactly what many people said when the BOS was “debating” cutting cash proffers in half in 2015. With that move, the BOS not only increased the velocity of development, they reduced the ability of the county to grow the infrastructure in parallel to the growth in households. I know that the cost of proffers are just passed on to the home purchaser, but I’m not sure there is a better way to get the funding up front to support the growth as it is actually happening.

Developers are happy though.

As are people when they don’t have more taxes. Many people who cry about taxes are also crying that there aren’t enough schools.
