Well... without that "money grab" there's whole slew of people on this website who would have not been able to move here without it.
Count your blessings.
Just something to consider while complaining about it.
Fact is, many major cities extended their boundaries upon very similar spaghetti box lot and dirt road land developments. North Seattle into the now city of Shoreline evolved in such a way on what they called "stump farms" with dirt roads and no utilities in the early days, those were later subdivided into single family parcels such as SF5000 lots and were paved and water/power brought in. It's process that occurs based on demand.
