Brian GettlerHas anyone written a history of developer fees? I'd be especially interested in their use by governments to maintain low property taxes. Bonus points if the history focuses on Canada.
PapyrusBrigade@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.

Deborah Preuss, pcc 🇨🇦@PapyrusBrigade @brian_gettler ah.yes. Moffat. I knew there was someone here! Thanks for making the connection!

@brian_gettler More Neighbours Toronto also has a nice "Development Charges 101" that shows the Toronto history, constraints on their use, and a reference to a UWO review paper (whose link is broken so I've pasted below).
