The public policy of putting burden on new development or a select group of housing providers is of extremly flawed reasoning. In general such social benefit claiming to be of value to the society as a whole should be born by all citizens, not by the providers who we hope to provide the services!
Community leaders should not choose expediency or popularity over good social policy that encourage good long term and short term solutions.
Recent city codes increasing BMR fees and requirements are beginning to be felt by developers, and development projects will begin to fall off as soon as economy hit some road bumps.

True. Persons payung today's housing prices and property taxes at current assessed value are FOOLS to support any further tax that falls upon them disproportinately. That includes borrowing money by selling general obligation bonds to be repaid through higher property taxes. But you get what you tolerate.
