Every experience I've had in here has been along the lines of a campus or expanding current buildings. - TWuG May 21, 15:18 8
- And for additional savings they're cutting back on school bus service. -- nm - Meg May 21, 15:26
- At least in Calgary, the focus is very much on "community based" planning - Reagen May 21, 15:21 6
  - and the town figures that if the builder is going to make millions selling their homes, they can put some money into parks and schools. -- nm - zork May 21, 15:25 4
    - yes. "municipal reserve", it's usually called, and is typically 5% of a new development. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 15:32
    - and sewers and such. -- nm - zork May 21, 15:25 2
      - Sewers, roads, street lights all are footed by the developer. Electrical, gas, cable are all footed by the providers. Schools are footed by property - TWuG May 21, 15:47 1
        
        developers usually build a school in their subdivisions, I recall one built a university in Malibu to get permits -- nm - zeitgeist May 21, 16:13
  - That's the logical way to approach it. So no wonder the US doesn't work that way. -- nm - TWuG May 21, 15:23
