I'm arguing that we shouldn't compound the errors of the previous administrations by continuing to make these unsustainable subdivisions more attractive to future buyers.
The subdivisions are already unsustainable.
a concept called "transferable development rights"
Great. Let me know when I can buy the empty lots around mine. I need the space.
They blew me off - couldn't be bothered to even consider it.
That's how government works here -- and I'm not snarking, I'm being realistic. Case in point: current development is unsustainable. Either refuse all new development, or double down and create the necessary infrastructure. Seriously. Pick one. Then, let everyone know what choice was made, so we can all plan accordingly.

Perhaps this is already happening: proposed County Charter amendment would remove the phrase "assure the coordinated development of the county". Now, why would anyone want to remove the words "coordinated" and/or "development" from the County Charter?
