I certainly don't have all the answers, but I think one thing that needs to come into the equation is "consumer choice." We need to look at what homebuyers want and why they are choosing to go to outlaying communities.
As for who's going to pay - that always comes from us. Either by directly paying taxes or by buying a home where the developers and builders have passed along their costs.
More on topic, apparently Nenshi and DCU have called a presser for this afternoon at 4 PM.
