You mean, people are moving to new communities without schools and then complaining that schools in their new community are not being built quick enough? That's shocking. The reality is that it is difficult for any government, to keep tax increases as low as possible, while building new infrastructure to deal with 30-40k new residents every year.
I have no idea if this would be realistic, but perhaps the city should require developers to build certain infrastructure, such as schools, police stations/fire halls etc as communities are being developed? Add the cost of building those schools into the price of the home.
Want to live in a shiny new community without any existing infrastructure? Okay, it'll cost you a little extra since we have to build schools too.
