Even if mixed low income housing were the way to go, randomly asking this developer to include it is unfair. They have to compete with other developments, none of which provide artificially low cost housing without government subsidy.

The whole "what are you going to do for me?" attitude that surrounds private property development is ridiculous. Private developers are out to make money like everybody else. It's not their job to provide low income housing, parkland, etc. They (and everybody else) pay taxes to the province and to the HRM for that.
