municipality should decrease all development fees, for single family dwellings. it should be more affordable for you to build a home without those high fees on top of everything

I agree with non-profit DC exemptions, but for-profit developer DC should remain. We should not be relying on private companies to fully provide a housing solution.
Bill 23 would seem to jeopardize the ability of municipalities to use development charges as intended – to gather funds for large infrastructure projects to accommodate and support growth. It would do this by requiring municipalities to spend or allocate 60 per cent of reserve funds each year.

All this proposal will do is pad the pockets of developers, allowing them to spend and plan less and providing municipalities with fewer tools to make meaningful improvements to quality of life in built-up areas.
