[Transpo] Question On Transit Impact Fees (Small Residential)

Hi all, I was just watching the replay of the March 1 MTA hearing and noticed that on the proposed Transit Impact Fee, the Residential Builders Association turned out a huge number of speakers to oppose because the fee was on both commercial -and- residential property. They were really worked up and -strongly- opposed. I thought the idea for the Transit Impact Fee was to tax large Downtown commercial property, not small residential. Are there good reasons for us to put this forward in a way that is going to freak out the small builders? It seems like we may be unnecessarily inviting opposition. thanks Eric B
