Shouldn't that be four times per year?
Better question: how many times per year is acceptable?
something needing to change in the topic of transportation routes
Every building permit County sells carries some obligation for infrastructure to keep up with population growth, but this doesn't happen.
It has been suggested that it would be cheaper for County to purchase vacant lots as a way of slowing population growth, but somehow this isn't happening either.
I would gladly do my part, but owners of the vacant lots adjoining mine have expressed no interest in selling. It's not clear what they're waiting for; without infrastructure, the property will never accrue valuation that makes it a profitable long-term investment -- back-of-the-napkin says the theoretical "gain" is about equal to the property taxes paid over the time these absentee owners have been "investing".
