One of the frustrations for inner city development is that you get double dipped.

In my example, we took a lot, improved it by tearing down the POS structure that was there, upgraded the density, upgraded the service connections, gave the city a tonne of money in fees, gave the city access to the corner of our lot because they demanded it as a condition for subdivision, improved the resale value of the homes in the community, upgraded the density and finally, gave the city two properties to tax at more than double the amount of the existing property.

And what will we get out of that from the city?

This doesn't even begin to talk about the house inspections that we failed because the inspector held us to an OLD code and had it not been for my industrious wife, we would have had to change things that weren't wrong.
