Yeah there are so many better communicators our there than me, thankfully @ZEBuilder is one of them.
I was actually referring to a literal photo of a slide from a slideshow that the City of Kitchener has in their possession. It showed up on reddit one day and explained how much it costs to serve 100 condos vs 100 SFHs - and some day I will find it again...
It's just deeply frustrating to have to rely on hobbyists like the group at WR Strong Towns + outside consulting firms like Urban3 to tell us what parts of the city are more productive than others. Why doesn't the city know? Councils talk about keeping taxes low 24/7 and yet they literally couldn't tell us which development proposals pay more tax per sq ft than others and use that when they set planning priorities.
If these conservative councillors want to run "government like a business", why don't they know where the profits and losses come from? If they did, things like the LRT would be built without any hesitation.
