I thought of you as I wrote this. Well I think N. Beach had a no maint for one year I think they took that promo off. Like dan said, NO TAXES until a CO is issued. So if a developer sits on empty but completed units - there is no benefit to the city. Not sure how they address the common areas of the building in realtion to taxes. They should tax as soon as the first CO is issued. So if the City gives a tax break (which has to be paid back), MAYBE the units will sell quicker putting those vacant units on the books. Same for downtown units. Get the people in, take a cut of the future value jsut like the feds believe in. This idea is no crazier then anything the gov has come up with. Nothing to lose and a possibility of a gain. And one thing in the bailout plan that Jen noted. The bailout goes to primary home. So those that purchased a second home in a "resort area" like Florida, CA, Arizona etc - those areas are still screwed cause the bailout won't work there. Those values are down, upaide down mortgages, and plenty to choose from. I believe some of the other developments have been turned to rental units by the developer like The Mercury. Others might be or could soon be. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
