Well ... if we are building new housing and bringing in more people, we do at some point need to add parks or other recreational facilities, too. So, is that extortion?

The article did say it's partly funded by federal government grants, but not which portion. But, in any case, I don't believe development charges were increased in order to pay for this project.
