Only if the City also requires these already developed communities to pay the difference between the subsidized impact fees the developers of their communities paid and the actual impact costs of the development of their communities?
If you are talking about undeveloped communities, I think the City should just have soft and hard infrastructure servicing levels that need to be met by the developers. The City sets the standards and the developers build all of the infrastructure on their dime.

Two things, i) if they can afford to live in single-family dwellings when all the costs are included, so be it; and ii) a lot of people haven't been exposed to what multi-family developments can actually look like and the lifestyles they can accommodate.
