Removing unproductive infrastructure

Some great messages here about why we have building and planning codes and make developers conform to them. Also why we should be taking maintenance and ongoing tax base into account when we set up development fees. I believe that we need to see a hell of a lot more of this as we come to the end-of-life of suburbs and sprawl that don't pay for themselves, and cities decide to stop subsidizing that lifestyle.
