This may sound like a pretty rotten way to build a community. Somebody has to pay for these excessive and unearned profits and that somebody is obviously the tenant who pays his landlord prohibitive rents.

According to the Globe and Mail account, Williams said that asking for changes in the‘zoning regulations on a piece of the school board's land so that housing developers could later put closely concentrated buildings on it waa'speculation.
