I guess if you want to consider that a "sprawl subsidy", then sure, you win. If everyone, everywhere is paying the same costs I hardly see how it matters though? It's got less to do with "sprawl" and is more about new builds in general. Maybe I'm missing something here though?

So as I understand it, redevelopment was already paying its share, but will now do so under a different system. Greenfield goes from paying 50% of its share to paying 100% of its share, so it's a leveling of the playing field.
