Poll: Do you think this is a good idea?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The city council’s keen to get a slice of big landowners’ capital gain from rezoned but unbuilt areas as it prepares for a potentially costly onslaught of fast-track projects.

Wary of new Government rules said to pose “very significant” growth-related risks when it’s already carefully counting dollars, city bean counters are on the hunt for “value capture” tools to help keep up with demand in the growing city.

Do you think this is a good idea? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
