Is that the way it should work, though? If you embezzle money from your workplace and nobody catches it for a year, does that mean you should get to keep it and not go to jail, because somebody should have caught you?
One could say that city planning should have zoned for more floors at that site, and it would be a fair argument, but if the developer doesn't build to the agreement, and would stand to benefit from ignoring the development agreement, why should he be allowed to get away with it? A slack or inefficient or understaffed building inspection department isn't justification for letting a precedent to be set.
Does it work this way in your new non-Halifax place of residence?
