MODERATORS
I tend to agree, they even still own them
Fuck these developers.
oh no, property developers can't afford to bribe the council? oh nooo oh noooo I feel so bad, think about all the predatory landlords that are missing out on somebody else's income oh nooooo
I see you didn't read the article. The landlords have gotten their buildings, it's the local community that's getting screwed since those funds were earmarked for local improvements.
...am I missing something or is this straight up bribery?
No, the money isn't for the council members it's "to provide facilities to a community following a development in the area." Developments that are needed as a consequence of the new housing.
which bit?
The developer promising payment to a council to approve a development.
Not if you dont actually make them.
- "That's cool you can owe us"
- wait
- put a monster fucking lien on the next thing the dev does, for unpaid debt.
