Why not issue permits based on a one-for-one trade? That is, let's tell all of the real and imaginary Sunil Puri's out there that for every "project" involving undisturbed land or farmland they "develop", they must put together a project to "re-develop" one area/commercial tract in downtown. Of course laws would need to be changed which is where this idea would fall completely apart. I bet that such a requirement would send the carpetbag "developers" scurrying away. I have an idea.
