There is no benefit to reducing fees for developers. It will be proposed by developers that they can introduce more product to the market at a lower price, but instead they will increase profits and shirk their responsibility as community builders. Read more

We need development charges to pay for rec centres, parking, libraries, etc. I bet everyone on Ontario uses at least one of these! I am going to end of paying for these through higher property taxes. At least give cities time to plan for this change to avoid delaying projects already in the works.
