Population growth and greater density makes it imperative that there be more parkland designated, not less. People need to connect with nature for their physical and mental health and well-being. Including private lands to count as parklands would further disenfranchise the less-wealthy. Municipalities should spend their parkland reserve balance when and how makes the most sense for them.
Municipalities need development funds to pay for needed infrastructure. With the cost of living rapidly rising, residents should not have to pay higher taxes or make do with fewer services so that developers and investors can pocket even more wealth.
It does make sense to waive development charges for non-profits building affordable housing units and also for affordable units in a development subject to inclusionary zoning.
