City lawyer: waiving fees for student housing a 'windfall' for developer at taxpayer expense
GuelphToday
So what is so wrong with a developer making money?They are taking 100% of the risk.PLUS at a time when housing is DESPARATLEY needed for students, this seems like a obvious win win.

NIMBY's out in full force, and of course the requisite number of inane questions posed by councillors. The corner has been empty for 127,000 years, now we have the opportunity to create much needed housing. Please do not "Guelph" this development so it is stalled unnecessarily.
so obviously folks here are clueless and do not understand development, and the risks involved, sure this is "potentially" easier than most...but after investing tens of millions of dollars can you guarantee what is going to happen tomorrow? Another in the endless list of City of Guelph misses..
