Cutting development fees will hurt municipalities. They need the fees to pay for services for new developments. Houses will sit empty if there are no services like sewage, utilities, garbage etc.
Restricting the number of affordable units that each municipality can require is absolutely ridiculous. We need more affordable housing, not less. The people of Ontario do not need a million $800,000+ houses. We need affordable housing. We need mixed residential areas with single family homes and multi family units. We need walkable cities with sustainable transportation options. Developers won't build these without requirements from municipalities.
Don't ruin our province in the name of helping developers line their pockets.
