Highest and best use improvement of land deserves at least a return equal to prime for the years leading up to the improvements obsolescence. A fair initial offer compounds the return over the years before the wind farm, airport, petrol station, arcade, increase in crime, lack of utility. An easy way to manipulate the market that I have witnessed, as a way of doing business, in the United States is to create short term obsolescence by importing crime. Causing a downward shift in market value allowing the more aggressive sectors of the population to increase their stake solve the crime problem and then resell at a greater profit. It has been going on since the children of the descendants of William the Conqueror began selling off lots to the serfs to finance ski trips for their children.
Driving across the United States the homogenization is sad beyond words. Travel through Mexico, and each Coyuca retains its own food, character and sense of history, each population will extol the virtues of the neighboring pueblo’s product, no xenophobia at all.
On my website www.thekincoedhotel.com I say “Sorry no MacDonald’s”. The town council should stem the importation of crime into the town. Implement social laws, no drinking in public, no displays of pornography as common in local stores, Hold licensees to the highest standard of care. Develop the arts community, the college, the library, Local produce, restaurants, and conference facilities. However, please No MacDonald’s
