>>6493756>tell they were letting their houses rot.These houses are built like crab anyways, the price has nothing to d with it. Often teh publing falls about in10 years (instead of 20) the foundation is slab pouring the bathroom fixutres need to be replaced because they all start leaking. They /look/ really nice becasue all the finshings are new and shiny but crap matrails.
track housing developers always by the cheapest parts for everything. If they need to buy 250 shower basins, they pick the one a doller cheaper everytime.
>>6493761also this.
>>6493737>Looks,like an efficient use of land resources to me.its actully not even that because the infosturce to support a large commuter population doesnt exist. The water resources in the barren landscape dont exist, the local tax base for police dont exist, everything is shipped in. Land resources are better spend building up and letting other towns devolp naturally.
also I dont know where that is, but for example a lot of these developments were being built in Arizona. but they were only supported as long as boomers could sell their house now worth $900,000 in southern California, and retire to a house here for $200,000.
but understand that only lasted as long as Chinese were driving up housing prices. in southren cal. As soon as that was over, Arizona crashed. And there is almost NO natural industry there, so then all those service jobs collapsed because no consumer demand because no real city, the extensions were built off boomers going out to eat and buying rugs.
