Has 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.

@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.
