Which of the following is a possible consequence of uncontrolled growth?
  1. Partial development of tracts resulting in conflicting property titles, misaligned streets and reduced available resources for public services
  2. Depreciation of overall economic value of an area causing tax delinquencies and widespread foreclosures
  3. Oversupply of subdivided property, leading to instability and deflation of property values
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - All of the scenarios are possible consequences of uncontrolled growth.

The rationale for government imposition of subdivision controls is to provide regulations to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. Subdivision regulations are geared to control growth with the following goals:

• Prevent the premature subdivision of land that is poorly linked to the broader community.
• Prevent the construction of substandard subdivisions with inadequate infrastructure and public facilities.
Reduce financial uncertainty and risk to investors, buyers, and the community.
