They need to pay more in property taxes, no? Why do people think they get their cake and it can be recouped by destroying the next generation’s quality of life and disposable income? Pay for your own stuff
Although I agree, “pay for your own stuff” would mean that new homeowners should pay for the sewer/road hookups. AFAIU that’s done through development fees.
Always fun to watch evil/injustice “fight”, “back”…
What do you mean?

So how can that be more equitably distributed if the name of the game is practicality?
That’s a philosophical question: What’s fairer? New home owners pay for their hookups, or everyone shares the cost?
I’d lean to the former, but that’s just me.
Since we’re trying to encourage new builds, lowering the cost of construction makes sense. So up everyone’s property taxes.
Or introduce more usage fees. But that screws poor people. 🤷
