Lets Keep it Simple in 17C...........

June 2012 

  City Council approves annexation and formation of Improvement Area 17C and the Issuance of $20,000,000 in Bonds for Facilities etc.  Reminder...not the City's debt.  They are simply the Facilitator.  Now we all know you cant borrow money for free but Im in a generous mood, so terms come to $40,000,000 repayment over 30 yrs (on the $20,000,000 original amount.)  Which is a bargain at Banco de Ken.
  There are 216 lots in 17C.  Does anyone see a problem here? If you dont see the problem just look at the Math below.

  $20,000,000 divided by 216 = $92,592   

More realistically 2-2.5 times that amount as only the principal is noted above.
