Bulldoze ‘em and return the land to agriculture or wilderness. It’s time to put an end to the blight of endless suburban sprawl.

Twenty, thirty years ago we used to see vistas like the one in the photo, all over Arizona. We called them "land fraud." Maybe that term isn't far off-base for the present predicament, eh? Funny about Money’s last blog post..Quickie potato recipe

In Australia, where I live, subdivisions are generally done in stages - the whole thing is planned but the roads and services aren't extended to the new stages until the early stages are close to being sold out. It makes sense re the developers cash flow- why pay for streets which may not be used for years? There are many subdivisions on hold at the moment in Western Australia - but others are doing fine- it depends on the area, the quality of the location and the price. The government has been putting lots of money into first home buyers subsidies - you get around A$20k if you are a first home buyer in WA and buy a new home or a home & land packages - you get less if you buy an ewxisting home so the developers haven't done too badly here.

Where we live we don't have any new building or communities, so you would think that home values would be relatively stable. Unfortunately, they aren't and are dropping even further. My parents retired recently and purchased a new home in a development that had plenty of other homes and amenities like golf and a restaurant. The same builder purchased land and started to build a community next door and had to stop the project. My dad now goes over the the new development to fly his model airplanes. I guess it looks like the biggest airport for remote control planes. Scott @ The Passive Dad’s last blog post..How We Shed $200 From Our Grocery Budget. Next Month FoodMaxx For More Savings
