If he's sincere about making developers more responsible for the cost of new developments, rather than having new infrastructure paid-for equally by all taxpayers, that alone eliminates the biggest need for tax increases.
This is the factor that makes him, and not McIver - who would prefer that the city continue to subsidize suburban expansion - the fiscal conservative in the race.
I'm not anti-suburban when I say this: the city will continue to grow and housing prices will continue to follow what the market dictates, but it will force developers to designer smarter, more efficient suburban neighbourhoods.
