Good to know about changes in development fees - hopefully other municipalities will pick up on them.

Ford’s comments on condos got me wondering though - how much of the inventory is unsold because of its composition? A dog-crate condo is still just a small and possibly unreasonable place to live regardless of how cheap it is.
