Even sprawlophobics acknowledge that those who buy expensive homes in new suburbs pay their cost and then some. Buying cheaper land on the outer perimeter of an urban area allows developers to build less- expensive housing. If lower-cost housing does not pay its way in property taxes, that's probably the culprit. Even the premise for full-cost accounting is shaky. Of course government must cover its costs, but the real benefits of development are the uses Floridians gain from it, not the net benefits it provides to government.
Development produces new homes and stores for people, and new job opportunities.
Conservative legislators should try to rid the bill of full-cost accounting before much mischief is done. Enter words describing a concept or keywords.
