For context: I often see these fees blamed for the increased cost of housing over the past few decades, especially in the Greater Toronto Area. But this always involves hand-waving rather than actual analysis. So I guess I'd like something that both shows how developer fees have changed, but also explains the rational behind the changes, all based on evidence rather than the "we all know this is what happened" vacuum I most often encounter.

@brian_gettler I think the person I've seen write the most (and most clearly) about DCs in a Canadian context is Mike Moffatt.

In the 2 links below, the first is his most recent one, and the 2nd has a summary with links to past posts on DCs.
