SDC's don't actually do anything about SYSTEMS; they help to finance the various permitting functions of government, pork-barrel projects, park expansion (which can't be maintained as the dopes on city council don't understand), and other progressive causes. If SDCs worked we wouldn't be looking at 100-percent increases in water and sewer rates.
The SDCs are an irritant, but the biggest new apartment "affordability" builds DO NOT pay SDCs. Nor do they pay property taxes, since they have been de facto socialized under the wings of nonprofit "ownership." Which is a much bigger scandal.
