Ive always wondered if a new high rise condo pays extra since it will be using considerably more resources than likely what was there previously for water, power, and sewer.

If you goal is to try to be "fair" it would seem to make sense to go after new condos, commercial developments and infills in existing areas as well in the same manner.

If your goal is to be decisive and pitt those in established communities against new communities and attack a group who people already have a general dislike for (developers) then this seems like the logical thing to do. Obviously if no one does any research and they live in Woodbine they are going to side with the established communities version of the argument.
