this might be a silly question but i’ll ask anyway.
those buildings you see are on a 10k m2 parcel. there are 120 150m2 flats there. one day i can own ~3 flats like those.
i own part of a similar parcel. but my area doesn’t have infrastructure (road, electricity, water, etc).
infrastructure is done by municipality. they decide on what they build, when they build, how they build, etc.
i heard developers can bribe municipality to bring infrastructure faster than usual but i heard it’s A LOT of bribing.
so i wonder if there’s anything i can do. maybe someone has a creative idea?
last year i was told it would take 5 years for infrastructure to be built for my parcel. i wish i could trust this prediction
i can try to anonymously organize land owners in my immediate area such that we find the most powerful developers we can find and then i can try to convince developers to bribe the municipality together so that cost of bribe is more reasonable. but i doubt anyone would take me seriously or if this is possible at all? i mean i don’t really know how things work.
what you see on the image is just 1 parcel. there are 200 similar parcels in this plan. this means 200 parcels will enter the market (for developers) at the same time. developers will just go for easy to build parcels instead of my parcel which would make me wait for god knows how long. so i need to somehow make municipality build infrastructure faster
It might be helpful to know where this is.
The easiest answer regardless is become active in local politics, try to get into the municipal government, and allocate funds to building up infrastructure in your area.
Can governments build on private land?
The short answer is no but the long answer is yes. You can fight like the old guy from Up! but in the end you’ll probably lose (YMMV because of location).
Municipal planning though often involves spaces allocated for roads and stuff. So the plots of land don’t all border each other but imaginary roadways have already been drawn up if not built already.
In most of America, the developer is responsible for building or updating the road infrastructure up to federal and state standards.
Sewer, stormwater, and water infrastructure are usually somewhat shared.
The municipality will often need to upgrade the upstream or downstream connections but the developer does their end
Then In the great Ponzi scheme that is America, the municipality takes on the whole thing after it’s built, the developer makes all his money and runs, the suburban single family home layout takes up so much room, the municipality never makes enough taxes to maintain the infrastructure over time.
So if you build it, they will come
So if you build it, they will come
Non red areas here are owned by the state here. Infrastructure in those areas needs to be built by government. If government doesn’t build roads, electricity, sewer, etc, well then you’re shit out of luck here unfortunately (or sometimes fortunately)
