Can’t they just voluntarily fix their places up on their own without this crap?

We Read: ..."A new Arizona law allows developers to build infrastructure but tax themselves to pay for it"

This is just another way of getting the new owners to pay all of the costs.

Consider for a moment:

1. The price of the property reflects the true cost of construction Including a profit for the developer.
2. The price contains the same amount of profit but; does not state the actual costs of construction which will be billed later as "TAXES".

If you were on a budget as most are, would you prefer the higher or the lower monthly payment and ignore the fact that your tax bill will be much higher!
