Sustainable must also
Sustainable must also stand for financially self-sustainable and without taxpayer subsidies. Therefore sustainable communities must require only the users of alternative transport options to pay for those options such as bicycle infrastructure and streetcars. Additionally, sustainable communities must also require an end to any direct public subsidies to the developers including property tax abatements, other taxpayer subsidies and cheap land supplied under market value by PDC.
