abandoned subdivisions

[citeright]

Does the County have a responsibility to take over abandoned subdivision? If so, what is being done?

I am aware of Driftwood and the various issues there, but there seems to be many more cases of bank owned or developer abandoned subdivisions in the area.

How will they be handled?

If you can convince the local liberals on this board that it would generate a lot of revenue, you could probably get this PRIVATE property seized for the good of the state.

Other than that, I can not see how you would come to a conclusion that the county can just go in and take a subdivision. Define abandoned. They have procedures in place to correct those that are not being completed. And if they owners do not pay their taxes a procedure in place would handle that.

Yeah, like what is the deal on the abandoned subdivision at Heritage Dunes on Eastern Lake Road? I just don't get why only one lot has been built upon in the past 5 years out of about 30 lots?

Most were put in place based on the thinking that the bubble could never burst.
If and when they all get built out, it will be a nice addition to the local tax base.
I only hope the infrastructure and roads necessary to handle all the added people stays in step with the eventual growth.

There may not be much activity (only one house currently being built there, only one lot resold in the last 15 months), but Heritage Dunes isn't exactly "abandoned" in my book. Like many recent 30-A developments, most of the lots there were purchased by speculators while the beautiful, shimmering bubble rose.

Tell me how seizure of private property by government is now a Conservative view if taxes are being paid by the holders of notes? If they are not, then tell us what we do with said property after it's seized. Build affordable housing? Turn them into parks? Oh wait, that might require stimulus to create these new jobs and housing. The horror!

Mango, come on! I think wrobert was pulling your leg or trying to get a rise out of many on the board. IMO, you bite.

That has been the trend for the last month or so.:roll:

Noting wrong with a little quid pro quo nip. The tap tap on the windows has become rock throwing now. Like Skunky mentioned, a trend, and an unnecessary one as far as I am concerned.

P.S. I never bite, but if cornered, I will break out the lady Glock.

Factors other than the market rise and fall are Heritage Dunes has no build out restrictions, most lots are rental restricted (no short term).
