My question in this regard is: Why does the municipality have to load up development charges in a multi-residential rental building when there's very little cost to the municipality of having that building in the municipality? All it does is produce property taxes for them, and it doesn't require them to provide road repair, to do sidewalk snow removal or to do garbage removal. It could be a profit centre if they looked at it the right way. To me, they're not looking at it in the right way. That's the main thing. To throw money at it isn't really what should be done. The municipalities should recognize that their income will increase with these.
