[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Center Leg Freeway project (no pun intended). SW Waterfront TIF. All the other TIFs all over the city. West End Library. Call Jack Evans'  office, they can tell you.[/quote]

A TIF means the developers are contributing to fund something. It is NOT a subsidy to developers.  Similarly Center Leg Freeway will reconnect DC streets, and create park space,  by allowing a developer to get new land. No cash subsidy to the developer, that I am aware of.

PP posited subsidy to developers vs $ for hill schools.   That implies to me actual cash to developers, in exchange for them building something.  A few years back DC gave money for a supermarket in SW, I think and there is the long sage of Skyland in SE.  But AFAICT there is nothing like that in recent years west of the Anacostia. [/quote]

Giving taxes in a TIF over a base benchmark for decades  to a developer isn't a giveaway?  - DC's lenders think so.  Tying down the assessed value of a property for years isn't a subdidy to a developer? We live in the 21st century - we don't do actual cah payments anymore. Let me know when you see your epiphany.[/quote]
