Yes, this is the point I was trying (rather obliquely) to make. The question, for me, is what is a reasonable amount to spend on those intangible benefits in this case? For me, anything over 1/3 quite suddenly feels unreasonable and frankly unfair. Of course this is on top of any infrastructure investments that the City may make as well.
