That's my point developers have absolutely no interest in chipping in to improve transportation infrastructure to support their developments. They are trying to skate by pirating off the already existing ones.

Worse it sounds like in Seattle they're trying appropriate precious public space as well.

Does Seattle not have TIF bonds? The primary purpose of them is to pay for infrastructure upgrades needed for new development and then use the rise in property tax revenues on the new development to pay off the bonds.

If only there were some way for people to band together to pay for infrastructure which helps all of them
