The life cycle cost of the utilities going in the ground are pretty easy to estimate as well. There really isn't anything you can't approximate. So take that approximation, calculate the tax income over time, and make sure the development pays for itself. Easy peasy.
You're saying this as though I disagree. We've already covered the subsidy. It's been talked about plenty of times. We all agree. WE AGREE!!

Now that that's clear, what else is so bad about continuing to build houses for people that want them?
